One year when I was about to have my son's 10th birthday (he's almost 32 now) our gas stove broke. I was planning on making his cake that morning. I ended up mixing up the batter and I used my sandwich maker that was just like yours to bake it. I ended up with a bunch of little triangle cakes that I put on a platter then drizzled with the frosting that I warmed up a bit. The kids absolutely loved it!! We baked many cakes like that for several years. They loved it every time! 🎉😂😊❤

Toastie machine. Grew up with infomercials from K-Tel. Mom had a Breville or the Sunbeam toastie maker, think was 1981 or 82, by 85 I was allowed to use the hallowed toastie machine and make toasties, made a round of cheese and ham. Cheese and Pickles, cheese and tomato, if you felt decadent enough and rich enough to buy Heinz Toast topper, and served it with Heinz Tomato soup. I often wonder if was the margarine that we used on our bread and coated the hot plate that destroyed the entire non stick coating? We never bothered with breakfast sandwiches, except cheesy baked beans (Heinz). I admit that is a prime example of a Scottish child’s diet. Solid bean pizza pocket! My other staple was banana, peanut butter and chocolate spread. Uh Think was K-Tel and Ronco based infomercials, however after 1986 QVC became the main shopping channel I had the George Grill, and the exactly the same issue is the non stick, and the mess. Now Air fryer what a delectable Gadget.

Core memory unlocked! My dad and I were up in the middle of the night watching TV and that infomercial came on. I begged my dad for one and he caved. We used it for years! I need to dig through my parents garage and see if it's still around.

I remember whipping up a couple eggs with a bit of cream and pouring the mixture into the wells before adding various fillings like ham, mushroom, onion, cheese, spinach, etc., to make puffy omelets. They were definitely tasty and went very well with the French toast made in the same machine. Nice to see this shown again.

Just make the cake mix according to the recipe on the box and put it in the snack master. They LOVED it! I was talking to my son and he remembers those treats very fondly.

That snack master reminds me of the first video games like the Intel-a-vision (I think that's how it was spelled) Atari and others. Our kids will never know how it was to have infomercials or how it was to get up and change the channel, for that matter they can watch whatever they want on demand so no more waiting for a show to come on. Wow, I got old, and time really does fly. Yesterday I wanted to ride my BMX bike then get my drivers license and now I wish I could do the tricks I used to do, or just ride that bike as far as I used to. I'll be 50 next year, YIKES! This is why we all watch you Emmy, great video and trip down memory lane. The build quality on that thing was great, like the first George Forman grill I wish I still had, simple and works.

Thats the exact unit my mom had and used to make us breakfast in the 90's. It was amazing and mesmerizing to watch in action.

I was a Freshman in college in the mid '90's. My roommate had one of these, and there was sandwich truck that parked near our dorm what sold bologna and cheese sandwiches on white bread. We put hundreds of those bologna and cheeses through the Snakmaster. We generally used Pam cooking spray, too. This elevated the sandwich to the point that we felt like we were eating "real" food. On weekends, if we'd managed to get hold of some eggs, we'd do scrambled eggs, which worked great. One time we attempted to make "chili pockets" using sliced bread and canned chili. It was a mess and we never tried that again. We loved out Snakmaster.

Nostalgic for sure! We had one. That crunch on the pizza pocket! The crisp edges are the best! Kinda want one again :)

Ron and Kathy along with PBS cooking shows were my childhood. Not growing up with cable, I enjoyed watching them.

This video is hilarious. Vintage!? Here in Australia we can still buy these brand new. They are tremendously popular and many brands now come with different plates in the pack to make different types of toasted sandwiches including mini doughnuts. I have had mine for years and love it still. The originals were cast iron and you'd hold them in a fire or on the gas stove and I still have one of those. Great for camping. Love your vid's. Cheers

Omg trauma unlocked: my grandmother, whom I’m pretty sure hated, well, everyone, used to force feed me scalding hot peanut butter and banana pockets she made in this thing. They scalded my mouth and made me gag. If I didn’t eat it all, I was in trouble and couldn’t have anything else. After she would made me hand pick up leaves in the yard while she banged on the window that I missed some. Phew. Thanks for this free therapy moment 😂😮❤

My generation had the GT Express 101. Basically a more modern version of this and it was pretty nice. I remember making many an easy breakfast/dinner/snack in it growing up as a kid. Love little gadgets like this. :)

Oh the nostalgia! My grandmother had one of these and I always thought it was so cool. She would let me make sandwiches with it every time I would visit.

My friends makes pb&j’s with toasted bread, this would be so perfect to make like a toasted uncrustable! 😂

I remember Kathy and I don't even have to look her up - those add ins, I remember them and I remember her coaching us to use the appliance very similarly to your presentation! I had this machine and I used it a lot - we got tired of triangular food, faster than I expected. But if you can stay enticed by triangular food, you can make curry and noodle triangles, stuffed sandwiches, premade rolls, brownie batter, etc. Just remember, triangles!

Oh I loved this when my kids were little! Great omelets, pizza pockets & buscuits!,

We always butter the bread from the side its on the toaster. It sticks less and makes them holden brown.

I remember having so many sandwiches from one of these as a kid. The crunch of the crust where the bread seals off, love it! I was always amazed we could squish all the bread and fillings into the machine, haha.

Ahhh, the comfort of the infomercial! For me, they were more Saturday or Sunday afternoon than late night. But I definitely remember the snack maker and Cathy! I seem to remember her making stuff with biscuit mix and, as a Canadian, that just seemed so cool and American, and so many tasty things could be made so easily! Sad your cinnamon buns didn't work out... maybe you could come back some day and show how it worked with just one in each well. 😊

I would die to just have the whole RonCo line. His informercials were like heaven to me. Even the hair spray one lol.

Oh how I love this. I’m a 94 baby so my equivalent was her GT Express 101 infomercial. I wish I knew how many times I actually watched that late night or early morning. I just found it on KZread and I’m loving the nostalgia. Thank you for the reminder!! Loved this video

all hail the toasted peanut butter and cheese sandwich! I honestly thought I was the only one that knew this deliciousness!!

I remember many 90's infomercials. I watched Cathy quite a bit. I just watched her use the SnackMaster. Her cinnamon rolls were smaller and half as thin as the ones you used. So, yeah, just use 1 cinnamon roll per well.

I love finding things common in my own country for decades being a novelty in others, I honestly think we never had infomercials because they are so familiar. I would suggest buttering the outside of the bread when using it and fillings like creamed corn and cheese, or any leftovers are stunning.

The nostalgia this just brought me... My mother used to make me those pizza snacks. See them again put an instant smile on my face. Thank you!!

I’m a 90s kid and my family was obsessed with their toasty maker that we took it on holiday with us abroad… we took a toasty maker on a plain with us 😆 I think I’m going to go buy one this weekend. Thank you Emmy!!

I own that exact appliance. Was my grandmother's, and my mother gave it to me. Still works perfectly and is so fun to use. :)

OMG my family has one of these but I'd completely forgotten. I made grilled ham and chees sandwiches and French toast in it.

Thank you sooo much, I was trying to find a brace and this helped a lot!

MMy grandma had one of these. I loved to do Strawberry Cream Cheese with tinned Cherry Pie filling on white bread. The crimped crunchy edges where the filling oozed out was my favorite. So now I think I will go on a hunt at a thrift store for this! Also Infomercial gadgets are so fun and cool sometimes!

I had this growing up the grilled cheese made from these were divine. PS there is way less sticking with using butter or brushing on vegetable oil spraying it you have the risk of missing spots.

I remember having one of these and the sticking on the sides being an issue. Thanks for the nostalgia revisit to an older appliance.

Imagine 3M people following you because you look so adorable when you chew. 😊 congrats

And the woodgrain too! Yes!!

I've got a 1986 Breville called Neville which is quite similar (does have a fancy light and tempreture cut off switch though) and he came with a whole recipe book of wierd and wonderful suggestions. One thing I've noticed though is he can be real picky with bread, I tried a farmhouse loaf once and it's sugar content seemed to virtually cement itself to the plates, he just seems happiest with basic sliced white supermarket stuff that is cut and sealed perfectly nearly every time.

Always love it when you do these types of videos, especially the older food fads lol. It's like teleporting back in time. Vintage is nostalgia, and that is life haha! We had one of those, and us kids wore that thing out! Was a latchkey kids dream😂 I'm thankful that I have always been a person that could exercise restraint, because my garage would look absolutely ridiculous at this point 😂😂😂

I remember the infomercial for this product so clearly. When I was a kid, I wanted one of those so badly.

I remember that infomercial too! I bought a similar appliance on Amazon and had the same result you did with the cinnamon rolls.

I had one of these growing up! They were great!

I actually have one of these! It was a hand-me-down from someone when we got married in 2004. I need to pull it back out! It made some yummy breakfasts for the kiddos!

Fun fact: Those pizza pockets is basically what we call a toast in Greece: two slices of factory bread toasted on a small grill with any filling you would like in between, but most commonly a slice of gouda and turkey ham. It is a very beloved breakfast here especially for young children. You can even eat it uncooked if you are in a hurry and it still tastes delicious.

In Australia we call this a jaffle when bread used. Better when you butter the outside of the bread before you cook. Gives a lovely colour and helps not to stick 😊

I use to stuff my bread with bologna and cream cheese or Stouffer's Creamed Chipped Beef and toast them up with the Snackmaster. Nostalgic. How neat that you were sent one. Back when the Snackmaster was out, the cinnamon rolls were smaller.

These are common in Australia and still popular. I grew up in the 90s also and we call them Jaffles or Breville after the brand of sandwich maker most common here. Usually we put ham and cheese, cheese and tomato, or baked beans as a filling! I was taught to put two pieces of buttered bread together and ingredients on top of that. Then you lift the first layer into the machine with butter side facing down and ingredients facing up. Then you add the second slice on top, butter side facing up. You get a really nice caramelisation as it browns and makes it less sticking.

Lol! I grew up watching my Mom amd Dad smack the biscuit roll tube on the counter edge! So dramatic! Us kids used to love watching them do that and hear that pop!

My grandmother had one of these! I was a very picky eater as a kid and I always made myself a grilled cheese with this when we visited every Sunday

I had one and I loved it, I have been thinking of getting it off the shelf and use it again

I acquired a similar appliance and used it so often for many different "meals" so quick and easy and clean up was effortless ❤ definitely a great appliance to have especially if you have a small living space situation.

I got one as a wedding shower present in never used it, now I wish I had. 😄

Oh wow, my kids loved that "machine" I actually went through 3 of them over the yrs lol

Good memories. I had one in my dorm 1987 in England. 🎉

It looks like an old toasted sandwich makes, which is just a fancier way of cooking between two irons 😅

My grandma had a thing like this for grilled cheese. I loved it as a kid.

Such nostalgia for me too... My mom had one of these that we used a couple of times. I just remember burning my mouth eating the sandwich pockets she created because I wasn't patient enough.

These machines were called brevilles toasty maker and have been going strong in the UK since 1974. Nothing beats a cheese and ham breville with some tomato soup x

Fun video. I would use more baking spray. Love from NC

Yes!! My mother bought us one from the infomercial when I was a kid and it was awesome. I ate so, so many white bread pizza pockets.

I got one of these brand new at a Goodwill for a couple of bucks in the early 2000's, just made sandwiches with it never thought of eggs or anything. I liked and I used it until it quit working.

I used to make all kinds of things with that. My nieces and nephews loved the filled pancakes I made with fruit or jam.

In Europe this is still a very common thing that you can buy in many stores. I have an old one that I bought 30 years ago that I use nearly every day to make tosti's (croque monsieur) and a newer one with 3 different inlays 1. for waffles 2. for tosti's 3. for grilling stuff like burgers or hotdogs that I bought 10 years ago. As a child in the 70s/80s we had a non electric cast iron one that you heat on a campfire or gas stove.

I always saw the infomercial about the chopper with multiple attachments. I oh so want one now.

I always dreamt of doing this with the magic bullet! I have actually watched that infomercial again a few weeks ago because I just had fond memories of it. 😅

I STILL watch this Cathy Mitchell Snakmaster infomercial. It’s so old she still had dark hair! Maybe late 80’s-early 90’s? A gem of a vintage find this contraption is!
