Make Healthy Sandwiches With a Sandwich Grill

Prepare healthy sandwiches for you and your guests using a convenient sandwich grill.

Better than regular ovens

Sandwich grills are better than ovens in heating sandwiches. Because a sandwich grill comes with a foldable top, you are assured that your sandwiches are grilled evenly on both sides. Apart from that, you are also assured that your sandwich filling is also heated along with the sandwich.

Some sandwich grill models can hold up to two sandwiches, with a gap provided between to assure that each sandwich is grilled.

Different types

There are different types of sandwich grills available in the market today. These are the stovetop, fireside, electric, and electric panini grills.

Stovetop sandwich grill

A stovetop sandwich grill is heated using the burners on stovetop ranges. It consists of a cast iron skillet and a lid that is pressed down onto the sandwich. It usually comes in 10 and 12 inch units that can hold up to two sandwiches.

Fireside sandwich grill

This type of grill is designed for direct heating over hearths or campfires and is great for outdoor use. It usually comes with long, insulated handles and temperature control.

Electric sandwich grill

An electric sandwich grill is powered using electricity. However, this type can only hold standard bread slices.

Electric panini grills

Electric panini grills look like electric grills, except they allow for holding thicker breads like panini, ciabatta, and focaccia. They can also be used to grill meat, vegetables, and side dishes.

Buying tips

In buying sandwich grills, it is important to choose one that comes with excellent features like temperature control. Also, look for a grill that has a non-stick grilling surface for easier clean-up.

Lodge Logic L5MS3 5 Inch Miniature Skillet Review

This skillet is very small; You won't be able to cook much in it. The one advantage, is that it's perfectly shaped to make an egg for a breakfast sandwich, when used with the lid. Besides that, you could toast spices, melt butter, make an individual brownie, or reheat a single biscuit.

I respectfully disagree about being able to make a grilled cheese sandwich in this. You can't; It's too small.

I tried cooking 3 sausage links with this. Due to the small size, they ended up "deep frying" in their own grease, which I don't like. I'd recommend the 8 inch skillet for that purpose.

I was able to find another good use; roasting garlic cloves on the stovetop, using the lid. Peel the cloves, add olive oil, and cook for an hour or more on very low heat.

My conclusion is, if you want to roast garlic or make perfectly shaped eggs for breakfast sandwiches, get this skillet, and be sure to also purchase the lid for even top/bottom heating! Otherwise, get the 6 inch round, or 5 inch square wonder skillet, which actually has more cooking area and you CAN cook a grilled cheese sandwich. I wish Lodge made a lid for those!

I found another use for this skillet today. There was a recipe that called for a 1/2 egg. So what to do with the other half? Cook it in this skillet and give it to the dog as a treat. Similarly, what do you do when your package of steak includes a very tiny strip, too small for the grill? Cook it in this skillet for the dog.

Customer Reviews

Really really tiny! - J. Lee - USA
This cast iron is great like most lodge products but it was so much smaller than I had envisioned.

Heck it can barely fit an egg.

So what can I use it for?

Well there are times I might need to cook a sauce or something and then bake it, the I can use this as a serving container and it gives it a great rustic presentation on the table. Other than that I can't really find a good general purpose use for this.



Perfect for Pizookies! - CJ Mac -
I specifically purchased these skillets for the purpose of making the half-baked cookie desserts, pizookies (if you have never heard of that, you are missing out!

Seriously, pizookies are absolutely the best dessert ever and these skillets cook them perfectly! I plan to purchase more so that I can entertain larger parties as guests love experiencing these desserts home-made. The best way to do that is to just make plain cookie dough, set out chips and nuts for people to build their own, bake them at 475 degrees for about 6-8 minutes, and then serve with a scoop of ice cream on top (also, you'll want to serve the actual skillet on a plate with a pot holder for obvious reasons).

These skillets really are a perfect size for the dessert and I've used them about dozen times now with no signs of degrading whatsoever (although, I'm careful to follow the cleaning instructions).

How to Cook Tender Moist Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled eggs are a busy cook's best friend. They can be thrown together for a quick nutritious dinner or lingered over at a leisurely brunch. Because eggs are so affordable they are a great asset to families on a budget.

The great thing about scrambled eggs is they can be dressed up by adding sliced shallots or fresh vegetables. You can even top scrambled eggs with a hollandaise sauce and have an elegant Scrambled Eggs Benedict.

When shopping for eggs look for the freshest eggs available. If you do not live near a farm, shop in farmers markets or specialty stores. You can also look for organic eggs. Organic eggs will often times have brown shells but they make excellent scrambled eggs.

When it comes time to cook your scrambled eggs temperature does not mater. Eggs can be cold from the refrigerator or at room temperature. Follow the 7 simple steps below and your scrambled eggs will come out moist and tender.

1. Crack eggs in a large bowl, add a spoon full of fat such as butter, olive oil or sour cream

2. Whisk to blend, whisk the eggs until they are completely blended and yolks are well incorporated

3. Melt butter in a skillet over low heat

4. When the butter is melted pour eggs in and stir immediately. Continue to stir the entire time the eggs are cooking this will keep the eggs forming only small curds.

5. As the scrambled eggs begin to thicken slowly they will begin to look like cottage cheese curds.

6. Once the scrambled eggs form curds and are glossy remove from the eggs from the heat.

7. Continue to stir the scrambled eggs for one more minute while they finish cooking.

Avoid overheating the scrambled eggs this will cause the proteins to bind and cause large dry chewy curds.

Delicious Sweet And Sour Chicken Recipe

I put this on to cook for the family on a day when I knew I wouldn't be home for dinner. They ate it all, so I didn't get a chance to taste it! They said it was really good and they want me to make it again. I definitely will, but I'll be around to eat it with them this time!

This also really works great for those that have a busy schedule and sometimes don't have time to make dinner.

You'll be pleased to know, however, that making sweet and sour chicken does not have to be difficult. Some simple tips can make the whole experience easy and fun. Go ahead to cook it and enjoy!

Ingredients of the sweet and sour chicken recipe:

12 oz (375 g) boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce

4 tsp (20 ml) cornstarch

1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper

4 green onions

2 carrots

1 sweet red or yellow pepper

3/4 cup (175 ml) chicken stock

2 tbsp (25 ml) rice or cider vinegar

2 tbsp (25 ml) ketchup

4 tsp (20 ml) granulated sugar

1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt

4 cups (1 l) bean sprouts

2 tbsp (25 ml) vegetable oil

1/3 cup (75 ml) blanched almonds

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp (2 ml) sesame oil

Directions of the sweet and sour chicken recipe:

Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. In bowl, mix together chicken, 1 tsp (5 ml) of the soy sauce, 2 tsp (10 ml) of the cornstarch and pepper until chicken is coated. Set aside.


Cut onions into 1-inch (2.5 cm) lengths. Thinly slice carrots. Seed, core and cut red pepper into 1-inch (2.5 cm) chunks. Set aside.


In small bowl, dissolve remaining cornstarch in remaining soy sauce; stir in stock, vinegar, ketchup, sugar and salt until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.


In microwaveable bowl, cover and microwave bean sprouts and 1 tbsp (15 ml) water on high for 3 minutes; drain and transfer to serving plate.


In wok or skillet, heat oil over high heat; stir-fry chicken and almonds, in 2 batches, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per batch. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.


Add garlic, green onions, carrots and red pepper to pan; stir-fry just until pepper and carrots are tender, about 3 minutes. Add chicken mixture; stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add stock mixture and bring to boil; cook until thickened and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 2 minutes. Stir in sesame oil. Pour over bean sprouts.
