After our Teflon-coated sandwich maker has given up the ghost, we decided to buy a ceramic-coated and were not disappointed. The device looks perfect and the plates can be cleaned easily. Perfect for a quick snack. Since we the ceramic-coated sandwich panels liked it so much, we will also set us the griddles. Since some users apparently had problems with out way past cheese, but should even read the operating manual and follow them well. Namely, when the cheese does not stick out over the toast, you get the sandwich without any problems from the Maker and the cheese does not run into the appliance.
