JoePai Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Am looking for a sandwich toaster – anyone recommend a make/model available here in Thailand please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
englishteacher556 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I just bought a local brand and it works perfect. We rely on UK Branded products like Phillips, Tefal etc., but look on the bow and it lays says, "Made in China" "Made in Taiwan" or indeed, "Made in Thailand". The brand name is only a badge. How much of a BMW Mini is a BMW? Just the badge. Ford make the panels, Peugeot the engine etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a cheap no name one once, shat itself reasonably quick, think the wires melted, sometimes plugs fall apart. We have had a Philips one for years. Well worth the extra little bit.

RabC Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have a Philips. My one piece of advice is get one with removable plates so they can be washed properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a manual coffee grinder that is cast iron, grinds coffee perfectly and it will outlast me and I've gone thru at least 6 electric ones before I went manual. Also have a counter top manual food processor that works better than a Cuisinart. Now looking for a stove top sandwich maker.......... I've gone thru at least 5 blenders in 10 yrs, the last one being a Phillips that lasted 2 yrs and gasket is unavailable because they have new models. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaideeguy Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah, that's the kind I was talking about, except a square shape would be more practical for most breads.....less waste. Anyone seen them here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

attrayant Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Non stick frying pan and a pat of butter, works every time. I second this. Use an existing pan instead of buying another single-use small appliance that will be hard to clean, take up space and eventually break. I grill all kinds of sandwiches open-faced on my cast iron griddle, but any large, flat-bottomed pan should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U235 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Bought a couple of years ago a panini press in the Mall/Bangkapi (I think it was a Verasu branch, not sure). Use it several times a week, yummi ;-) To my surprise, recently found out that nearby kitchen paradise is Phnom Phem, I saw in the stores there many models, and even impossible to find things here like Kenwood meat mincers, bread makers etc. Prices were European standard. Just a pity I could buy just a little due to airline restrictions on weight ;-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tominbkk Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I generally like Philips stuff too. Have never had a prob with my Philips stick blender, rice cooker, blender, or espresso machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ableguy Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 They sell them in Robinsons not expensive. if you are looking for a rolls royce type no idea. hell its just a kitchen appliance, the cheese will cost you more than the toaster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 using a frying pan doesnt give the same effect as a sandwich toaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikishrory Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 theres a big supplier festival on at impact exhibition centre in nonthaburi. i went and it was awesome. lots of free food and eye candy. there was a load of toasters and things like that. i even saw a panini grill for 28000 baht. i'm not sure but i think the 26th is the last day. otherwise check out makro or another equipment supplier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
