  • - These baskets are like (beep) annoying.

  • Today we're testing the Grilled Cheese Toaster.

  • Why on earth would I need a toaster that's just for grilled cheese and that's bright yellow?

  • It's supposed to make you grilled cheese within minutes.

  • Obviously when you're making grilled cheese in a pan

  • you can control the heat a little.

  • You can see how crispy your bread is getting

  • and then you get that ooey gooey cheese.

  • Will this do that?

  • Probably not,

  • but will I get a really quick, simple grilled cheese?

  • I think so.

  • It seems like besides the basket,

  • I'm not sure what is like a huge difference between this and the regular toaster.

  • I'm always skeptical.

  • I wanna hate on everything.

  • I am super skeptical,

  • but I am very open in giving this a good fighting chance.

  • So when I look for a good grilled cheese,

  • I want perfect crust.

  • It's super important that it's super crispy

  • and evenly consistent.

  • And then you want the cheese to be ooey gooey melty

  • without being burnt or uneven.

  • That makes the perfect grilled cheese

  • and for only $20 maybe this thing will get me that.

  • So first test we're gonna go super simple.

  • Bread,

  • little butter,

  • American cheese.

  • We have to preheat this guy before we add our sandwiches in here.

  • So we're gonna press down,

  • press preheat and when it's ready it'll pop up.

  • And I think at this stage it's also preheating the basket.

  • Okay it popped.

  • It's preheated.

  • So we're gonna take the basket out

  • and simply put our sandwich,

  • right in here.

  • So we're just testing this one.

  • Alright, I'm gonna go for a little bit of a higher heat

  • because I like my grilled cheese very toasty

  • and I want it to be melted in the center.

  • So we're gonna play it safe.

  • I smell toasted bread.

  • Oh my god!

  • I thought it was gonna like pop in my face.

  • Now we're supposed to hold it for 30 seconds,

  • so that the cheese melts.

  • Okay it's been 30 seconds.

  • Ta-dah!

  • I see the cheese,

  • I mean you can still see the indent,

  • but it's still like pretty melted.

  • And look melty, melty.

  • Took me about a minute to build this

  • and that's being generous.

  • Three minutes to toast it in here.

  • So less than five minutes you have a grilled cheese.

  • This little gadget actually gives you semi grill marks.

  • Alright so let's take a bite.

  • Should we cut it open?

  • Alright.

  • So pretty melty.

  • It's melty in the inside,

  • crispy on the outside.

  • I would say that in less than five minutes,

  • this is what you're getting.

  • Did you hear that?

  • Look I did get a little bit of cheese on this thing.

  • It would be like a real pain in the ass to clean that.

  • So pretty great results with a regular grilled cheese,

  • but you know what I wanna push the limits to this guy

  • because I like pushing limits.

  • And we'll test it with a thicker sandwich,

  • which is not recommended.

  • Stuff it with the shredded cheese.

  • That's a good amount.

  • And we won't overstuff it,

  • but it's a little stuffed.

  • Just gonna preheat it again.

  • And this time we'll test back at six just to be even.

  • Alright so ready for this guy.

  • I'm pleasantly surprised though

  • that the cheese isn't dripping in one direction,

  • you know what I mean?

  • 'Cause that's what I thought it would do.

  • Okay going for it.

  • Ta-dah!

  • Oh it's okay it's a melty drip.

  • It has a little bit of the cheese

  • would kind of like pushed to the bottom.

  • And look drip, drip, drip.

  • Okay let's open her up

  • and...

  • Okay good news is that it melted.

  • Bad news is that it all kind of like you know,

  • I hope that it's even all throughout the sandwich.

  • Not just like heavier on one side and lighter on the top.

  • There is a little bit of a clean up,

  • so it's not just like a pop and go.

  • So that's something to consider.

  • But let's take a look at this.

  • Alright, yeah it's like super melty.

  • Slowly but surely.

  • Also it's not like something like mozzarella,

  • it is cheddar cheese so.

  • Mm I think the fact that the toaster

  • was slightly more preheated

  • 'cause we made a few,

  • made the toast actually you know a little bit crispier,

  • even at the same setting.

  • Which I actually love,

  • I like my grilled cheese like super crispy.

  • So obviously with the shredded cheese

  • there's a little bit of cheese action that's on your basket,

  • but all in all I think that how the timing works

  • it actually didn't make a crazy mess

  • and this is something that I can live with

  • and also I can just like do this and do that.

  • See that,

  • that's an easy cleanup.

  • Just eat it.

  • So do you need this Grilled Cheese Toaster machine?

  • Maybe you don't have a pan and a stove top.

  • Your kids wanna make grilled cheese on their own.

  • Maybe you're in college and in a dorm

  • and you just wanna buy bread and cheese

  • and make grilled cheese sandwiches all day.

  • Maybe you like only eat grilled cheese.

  • Maybe you wanna be on a grilled cheese diet.

  • I don't know.

  • Do I want people to see this

  • living on my kitchen counter top?

  • I don't know maybe. (beep)

  • SpongeBob SquarePants.

  • What I can take it home?

  • I can take this one home guys.

  • Yay!

  • For more fun and games,

  • check out our friends at Polygon right here.

  • It was so much adrenaline going through my head.

  • There was the crowd of I don't even know how many people,

  • like hundreds.

- These baskets are like (beep) annoying.
