Kmart Microwave Toastie Maker

There is no better comfort food than a toastie, and thanks to Kmart’s new microwave toastie maker, cross contamination is a thing of the past!

I recently saw these online, and grabbed one to try, as cleaning the electric toastie machine between uses is a pain when we’re all having them!

For $15, this little gadget is a must for any gluten free kitchen, it’s small to store, easy to clean, comes in 4 different colours, and makes a super crunchy toastie in just 3 and a half minutes!

After a bit of experimentation, I found that cooking for two and a half minutes, then flipping it over and cooking for a further minute, creates a really crunchy toastie – even with gluten free bread, which can be quite sticky sometimes!

Look at that crust!

Here I used Tip Top White gluten free bread, buttered on the outside, with cheese and chopped bacon on the inside… delicious!

We now own two of these – a green one for gluten free, and a black one for the gluten eaters. We’ve even got rid of our big electric toastie machine – that’s one less thing in the cupboard! Winning!

Take it to work, on holiday, or just use it at home for a quick snack, and when you’re done – simply pop the metal plates out of the silicone cases, put them in the dishwasher or hand wash, and they’re done! So quick and easy!

Now tell me, what’s your favourite filling for a toastie? I’d love to try some new flavours!

Hi! I’m Jo. Wife to a kiwi, mum to teenagers.

When that diagnosis first comes, it can feel overwhelming and life changing. Suddenly, life as you know it has changed. Spontaneity is replaced by meticulous planning. Take away dinners are swapped for home cooked meals. Familiar brands are substituted with the unknown. 

But it doesn’t have to mean the end of joy. Good food, party invites, and family adventures can still be a big part of your life. It just takes a little extra planning, a little support, and a little inspiration!
