Yep another UK-er. A toastie in our house. We have a panini press as well. But my kids prefer a toastie. Cheese, onion, mushroom and chilli are popular with us.

I'm another one who calls it a toastie and sandwich toaster. I've not eaten one for years but I'm really craving one now!

Toasted Sanger.
Love them with leftovers such as bolognaise, savoury mince, curried chicken, the list is endless! Also love salmon & cheese. Ham, cheese & tomato.
We have a jaffle iron for camping, but use the toasted sandwich maker at home.

I've not seen an appliance like the first pic. It's definitely not a panini maker, although I see the similarities. Panini makers have grill marks, as someonementioned, and they don't seal off the edges like that does.
The second thing you showed, we have several of those in our garage. We love them for camping. We call them pie irons and the things the make are just pies--meat pies, pizza pies, fruit pies.

Toasties are very popular in this house, and quite different from panini. You butter the outside of the bread and put only the filling on the inside. This makes ordinary white bread golden and crispy, but different from ordinary toast. DS loves cheese and ham as a filling, but my favourite is mashed banana with a dusting of cinnamon. Yum! I remember people referring to the appliances as Brevilles when they were first marketed, but now that Breville makes other gadgets, and other companies make toasted sandwich makers, you don't really hear this anymore.

Sandwich maker and campfire sandwich maker. We have a couple of campfire ones around. When I was a kid (and even as an adult, though we don't use them as much) we would make pies around the campfire. White bread, buttered, with canned pie filling inside.

I had that machine in the 90s! It was a SnackMaster. I don't remember what I called the sandwiches I made with it. I remember my Mom got it for me the first summer I was staying home alone while they were at work, Inwas 11 or 12. She was ok with me using it and the microwave by myself. No oven or stove! Lol. I made some crazy concoctions in the SnackMaster! That's it! I couldn't remember the name. I do remember that we got one as a wedding present in 1992. I don't think we ever used it though and it's long gone. Too bad as dd would have fun making up crazy stuff like you did I imagine! She's now plenty old enough to use the stove etc though.

The only time I have seen them is when I went camping with a friend as a kid. I don't remember what they were called but they were sooooo yummy!

I remember an infomercial for those sandwich makers years ago but I haven't seen one in a long time. Not the same as a panini maker, which I have. I guess we'd call them "sandwich makers".

I haven't seen a sandwich maker in years! I don't actually know what the sandwiches made from it would be called though!

I had one of the sandwich makers when my oldest was small - can't remember what it was called or if we called the results anything specific
the campfire items are pie irons - we have some in our camping supplies - I can't remember the name of the results

I think as PolarGreen12 said, it was a Snackmaster. My MIL gave us one sometime in the 90's and we tried it a few times. My kids didn't like it, my husband didn't like it and it sat on a shelf taking up valuable space for too long. I finally donated some years back, never regretting it once lol. It really wasn't like a panini because paninis are open and pressed flat more or less where this contraption made stuffed sandwiches that were sealed and puffy.

When I was growing up we called them "jaffles". And we used a "jaffle iron" like this one: My brother still has the jaffle iron that we used as kids, it would be at least 45 years old if not more. Some people call them a Breville, which is the brand name of the sandwich maker - a bit like when people in the UK say they are doing the "Hoovering" instead of vacuuming, or when people say they need a Kleenex instead of a tissue. Pudgy pies. And that's a pudgy pie maker. I first made them in girl scouts, but we had a wood stove to heat our house, so there were a lot of pudgy pies made in my living room in the winter. And pizza pudgy pies are the best. I think the tool you posted in your first post is marketed here as a sandwich maker, but I would call it an electric pudgy pie maker. Commonly called pudgy pies around here too. Some people call the maker thing a pie iron though and the sandwiches are then also called pie irons. One time when we were camping we experimented with making these...filled them with just about anything we could find to try...pizza, ham and cheese, chili and cheese....we even made a s'mores one. It was good but very rich.

Yes. Used to have one and my favorite was "portable Thanksgiving" pocket sanwiches. Turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Neat to eat on the run. The machine is long gone now I thinking of tracking one down. Enablers.

They are on Amazon. Searched pocket sandwich makers and there they were.

We had one when I was a kid in the 70s. We loved it and used it daily, but I guess my mom hated it. It ended up in the basement with all the other kitchen gadgets my dad had brought home (and there were quite a few). There were 7 of us in the house, and the kitchen wasn't big enough for one more thing! Even a sandwich press.

The device is a pie iron. The food is whatever you're cooking - beef pie, tuna melt, pizza, French toast. . .

The maker is called a snack master, we still have one. The sandwiches are called pudgy pies. Yum!

I would call it a grilled or pocket sandwich and a sandwich maker. I had one of those about 20 years ago, I won it at work . Sandwich makers like that were replaced with panini presses. I have 1 of those, too, and use it all the time.

I'm on the some-kind-of-sandwich-maker American bandwagon. And they look yummy. They'd look even yummier if I hadn't just eaten half a freakin' pizza. All by myself. I don't have an electric sandwich maker like this but we do have similar gadgets that you use over campfire. If we make them with dessert like items (pie filling) we call them pies. If we make them with something hearty we call them sandwiches. Buuuut, if we make them with pizza ingredients we call them pizzas. That doesn't really help, does it? I guess if someone wanted to have them tonight, we would say, "Get out the pie makers for the fire."

I've never had one but I think I would call those Warm Pockets of Deliciousness. I think I may need one of those things. I'm a sucker for enclosed foods...burritos, egg rolls, lumpia OMG, etc.

I took one to college in the early 90's. Became quite the cook on it. Pancakes, brownies, pies, eggs, refrigerated biscuits, in addition to sandwiches!

A grilled sandwich and a sandwich maker? Same here ... I'm confused by thinking it should be something more complicated
