For most of us, weekday lunches have looked a little different during the coronavirus lockdown.

Instead of nipping out for our Pret salad or eating last night’s leftovers out of a plastic container at our desks, many of us now find ourselves catering for our entire households.

Whether you’ve got several children to feed or just need to find a way to sustain yourself with the little available in your fridge, a sandwich is always a straight-forward way to go.

It keeps most family members happy, it can be easily tailored to suit everyone’s tastes and it can be packed with vegetables if you’re keen to keep things as nutritious as possible.

In fact, the only express meal we can think of that is better than a sandwich is a toasted sandwich.

That’s right, you can now create deli-style sandwiches at home, in just moments.

The Breville VST026 Family Sized Sandwich Press is easy to clean and can make up to four sandwiches at a time.

You can use different types of bread; from panini, ciabatta and focaccia bread or you can warm naan, tortillas, cook crumpets and toast teacakes.

In short, we can’t think of why we would ever need to use any other kitchen gadget from here on out.

Plus, the fuss-free design is non-stick which means you won’t have to spend hours scrubbing off the remnants of cheese or crumbs once lunch is long gone.

And it seems that households all over the UK are tapping into it’s sandwich-making abilities, as a slew of five-star reviews have recently been added to the site.

“Plenty of power, heats up really quick and does a great job. This has been used a lot over the last 2 weeks by everyone in the house and we all love it,” one shopper wrote.

Another simply added: “Excellent, to do toasties on, bagels, panini. Easy to clean, locks to store away.”

Alternatively, if you are catering for a smaller number of people or just want a slightly cheaper option, this Cookworks 2 Portion Sandwich Toaster costs just £12.99 and offers a similar experience.

We can’t think of a cheaper, quicker way to feel like you’ve treated yourself to an indulgent meal.
