This is my third Sunvivi sandwich press. They are all similar but this slightly bigger than others I have been using, which is great. It’s also the most attractive of the three I own. We use them nearly everyday. They can take the most mundane of ingredients and turn them into something special, without using mayonnaise.
Today I was going to use some sliced sourdough bread which I buy expressly to press in these sandwich makers but discovered that the sourdough loaf had started to turn so used some fresh Bulkie rolls instead. As it happens that’s my wife’s preferred bread.
I first made myself a sandwich with three slices of turkey breast and two slices of mozzarella, which proved to be just a tiny bit too thick for this press, which surprised me. So I had to hold it closed (not locked) while it cooked. I have decided not to include the photos of that sandwich in this review although the results were pretty delicious. My point in mentioning this is that these Sunvivi presses are not super robust: they are a consumer product and not industrial strength. Our first such press broke because I tried to make sandwiches that were just too thick.
In the photos and video you can see my wife’s preferred lunch: two slices of salami with mozzarella in a Bulkie Roll.
The green light goes off and on. The directions aren’t really clear about what that means exactly but with some practice you’ll get the hang of it.
