The Breville 3-in-1 Snack Maker, a versatile appliance for making toasties, waffles and grills, is currently available for under £40. This model features removable non-stick plates for easy cleaning and a vertical storage option to save counter space. It includes deep-fill plates designed to seal sandwiches neatly, and a cool-touch locking handle for safe operation.
In testing, the Breville delivered an even cook, producing perfectly toasted sandwiches without burnt edges. The removable plates were particularly appreciated for simplifying cleanup, especially when dealing with messy fillings like melted cheese and tuna. However, the deep-fill capacity was only just sufficient for the test sandwich, making it difficult to lock the handle.
Unlike some other Breville models, this snack maker does not offer additional interchangeable plates, which some users may find limiting. Nevertheless, at its current price point, it represents good value for those seeking a basic, reliable toastie maker.
The machine heats up in around four minutes and takes about nine minutes to cook a sandwich. Its handle stays cool to the touch, while the exterior reaches a moderate temperature during use.
