Can the outside of the bread be buttered as grilled cheese and Reuben sandwiches are buttered?

Haven't tried buttering the outside of the bread yet with this particular model but I can't see why not. I imagine the buttering the outside would just make the bread a little browner and crispier. I have used mine for cuban sandwiches and bagel sandwiches and am very pleased with my purchase.

I do this all the time and it makes delicious toasted sandwiches. I also place tomato and onion on buttered bread then put cheese on the top open and put it in the press with a wonderful result. This is easily my favorite kitchen appliance. If it only lasted a year I would still consider it great value, it just works perfectly.

If you mean like sandwich bread that you purchase at a grocery store then the answer is "no". If you mean like a traditional homemade loaf of bread I think you could answer your question "yes".

I think so. We bought this an put it in a firepit we had a raffle for. I also bought a little cookbook and it was great! If the sandwich bread didn't fit exactly, it would be close. Sorry if I didn't help.

I have never tried it, but I think maybe it could if the bread was not too thick. It's worth a try.

yes you can. I make a black bread and line the pan with parchment paper and it works

Cool? No. But it only gets very warm on all plastic surfaces. The inner metal are where the bread goes is VERY HOT!!! But yes you can touch the OUTSIDE of the toaster and possible not get burnt. I myself, was able to touch all of the plastic areas while the toaster was in use and I did not get burned at all. Duh, but keep kids away from toasters. PERIOD!

No. I place this pan directly on my stone. I do occasionally butter the pan, and sprinkle on cornmeal. I like the crunch on the outside. Guess I could roll the baguette in it, but haven't. I would like to find another with slightly wider loaf slots too. Very nice pan. Will prob. buy another to make 6 @ a time.

No it's not sandwiched. There is at least an inch. I really like this grill.

No. It is a pancake/waffle grill that can also be used for sandwiches. It is not made for grilling...

Yes, many people make grilled cheese sandwiches on this as well as other sandwiches.

The packaged mix needs no refrigeration. The bread can be left unrefrigerated on the baking day. Leftovers if any can be refrigerated and microwaved the next day.

I wouldn't recommend using the bags with only 1 piece of bread. You could put spread on one piece and put it in the bag for toasting but I don't have any experience as to how it may turn out.

Any oil you prefer. Just do it while the bread is hot so it can soak the oil into the crust and it will not an oily surface. Shortening also works.

Sort of. I use it for grilled cheese all the time. The thing does seal the edges, making it vaguely hot-pocket like, but tastes no different than a pan-cooked grilled cheese!

Yes! The loaf of bread I have on hand now is actually on the large side and it fits with not much room in terms of width. Standard sized bread will definitely fit. I never used it for a sandwich, but will do so now :)

Yes, you can freeze sandwich meat..it does quite well..bread also freezes but is a bit dry after it thaws. You can toast it for your sandwiches and it'll be fine. I would encourage you not to freeze any meats and bread together in the same bag...as one person said, the moister in the meat will make the bread soggy, the bread will be pancake flat from the vacuum seal and it'll just be ugly and soggy...

I think not, I do not like this like I thought, I bought for grilled cheese, and of course in the bag in toaster, the bread is dry. It is just as easy to get a fry pan and make the good buttered outside grilled cheese. Maybe for a quick toasted tuna salad sandwich...but I have not tried that. I washed by hand, but that is easy enough to do and would not be a big deal. Maybe for your use you might love it.
