Great toasties October 21, 2008 Love these - I bought two and the toasties were so good I never got the first round. Have ended up ordering two more! Seems to be plenty of room for fillings if you use medium sliced bread and my sandwiches have never got stuck.
Consider alternatives before investing October 16, 2008 I bought four of these as I thought it made good sense to make four toasted sandwiches in one go. I found the product rather disappointing and have ended up with four bulky cages in the kitchen drawer that have not been used now for a few years.
The cage itself holds the sandwich very securely, but that is about the only positive comment I can make about it. The toaster slots are not really wide enough to allow you to make a decent toasted sandwich, even if you use the thinnest sliced bread on the market and are really mean with the amount of filling you put in. I found that all but one of the sandwiches I made snagged as the cage was either inserted into the toaster or as they came out, so sandwich presentation was not great (and I did put the butter on the outside of the bread, as recommended). The snagging also meant that ingredients ended up getting stuck inside the toaster and were difficult to remove.
If you do decide to give the cage a go, I would suggest you buy just one rather than make the same mistake as me.
I subsequently bought the "Diablo" Toasted Snack Maker and have found this is much better (more room for fillings), although it does waste a lot of bread. But I would personally recommend this as a much better alternative to the Dualit cage.

Although none of my sandwiches have ever escaped i decided to give this product a chance, and i was pleasantly surprised by how effective it is. If you already have a half decent way of making a toasted sandwiches then its not really necessary- but if you have a dualit toaster and want to get maximum use out of it then this is a nice addition.
i would have two slight gripes- one, its a bit pricey, although in fairness it looks quite sturdy. secondly, unless you have a single slice cooking option you are basically going to need two of these things as the toaster should not be used with an empty slot. Another good reason for needing two of them is that one toastie is never enough, and it is a torturous wait for that second sandwich if you only have one cage.
