So I bought one, actually a pair, of these toastie pockets yokes in Aldi a few weeks back. You know the thing, they’ve been around for ages, little baggies that you pop your cheese sandwich into which you then place into the toaster and hey-presto a toasted sandwich! As a family who have had possibly the slowest electric grill on earth bestowed on them by Zanussi the toastie pocket proved a pretty quick way to make a toasted sandwich. The drawback to the toastie pocket is that you have to use regulation size bread and have to set the toaster pretty high if you want to achieve meltability on the inside. This of course achieves burnation on the outside. It is also worth nothing that meltability is inversly proportional to sandwich thickness i.e. more filling = less meltability which will ultimately result in high burnation. However it does have its uses, I heated a slice of left-over pizza in it last night and it did the job very well. On the downside do not use it to make crushed ice for your Mojitos, NASA technology or not it will refuse to take a hammering with a rolling pin when full with ice, and that is where the story ends….at least until Aldi get them back.
