Pudgy pies. And that's a pudgy pie maker. We just call it a sandwich maker, but I love the term "pudgy pies"! I see the machines at thrift stores all the time - now I'm tempted to get one so I can work pudgy pie into my conversation!

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. We called these "Tonka Toasters." That's the name of the tool and what we called the sandwiches we made in them! We used them all the time when we went camping.

We called them pocket sandwiches. We also had that round one we used during camping. Yum those pizzas and dessert pies made in those were delicious. Bet I'd hate them now lol

Sandwich press. It makes pressed sandwiches, or, in my neighborhood, "cubanos."

I'm thinking Sandwich Maker also. I had one in college. I wouldn't say Panini, as this seals the edges, where the Panini press would not.

When I was a child (50 years ago) we called them quixies and a quixie iron. I guess Quixie was the brand name. These days they are just 'toasties' I guess.

Toasted sandwich and sandwich maker or sandwich press in NZ. Jaffle definitely sounds more exotic

KiwiJo nailed it....we used to always have Quixies for lunch...filled with ham, cheese, onions, spaghetti, mince etc. my brothers even used to put baked beans in them. Anything goes really.
The first pic is a toasted sandwich maker.

The one we have is a rectangular & makes 2 sandwiches at a time the original thing is just called a sandwich maker here

It's a Breville maker in our house and it makes Brevilles. We did call them jaffles as kids but now they are Brevilles. To me a sandwich maker is the sandwich press.

Sandwich press. It makes pressed sandwiches, or, in my neighborhood, "cubanos." These aren't pressed, though. They're not flattened-- the edge of the sandwich is sealed shut, and the filling is in a bubble in the middle.

Pudgy Pies, Tonka Toasters and Quixies...... love it! Sandwich press. It makes pressed sandwiches, or, in my neighborhood, "cubanos." These aren't pressed, though. They're not flattened-- the edge of the sandwich is sealed shut, and the filling is in a bubble in the middle. Exactly right. A sandwich press or panini press is different - it flattens the bread and doesn't seal the edges. I also have a sandwich press, I only use it to make focaccias. The jaffle maker is used more often. We usually have cheese and tinned spaghetti or cheese and tinned baked beans in them. The other night DSO and DS had left over mac & cheese in them.

These remind me of my late granny so much! She used to love those sandwiches. We used to load them with leftovers...yum! It's been a long day here and I can't recall what we called them though...probably toasted sandwiches.

I have an appliance that makes those. I just call it the sandwich maker. A sandwich from the sandwich maker. It doesn't look like a panini to me because the edges are sealed. I could be wrong. I don't love to cook.

When I was growing up we called them "jaffles". And we used a "jaffle iron" like this one: We use those for camping except they are square. We call them pie makers because we put pie filling in the middle and sprinkle with powdered sugar once they are cooked. I'm quite sure, there's a more common name. ETA: Forgot I've heard pie iron as well.

I don't know what if anything they would call that where I live, my guess would be that the people here would call it different things.
I would call that a sandwich grill and a grilled sandwich.

Grilled or pressed sandwich, and a sandwich grill or press... Grilled is usually only used when the sandwich gets the lines from using the grill plates on the maker instead of the flat plates, but six on one...

Ah, ok, I didn't notice the edges were sealed.
I got nuthin', then. I don't think I would eat one of those. LOL!

Panini would be the closest, I would say, although the triangular designs are new to me. I like them, though. ETA: I see now that they are sealed with a bubble in the center. I don't have a name for that.

We called these "Tonka Toasters." That's the name of the tool and what we called the sandwiches we made in them! We used them all the time when we went camping.
Same here! And I still have them from my family camping trips as a child. They must be 40 years old.
And the machine is called a SnackMaster - friends got one as a wedding gift. They threw a snackmaster party at their apartment. We made corndogs and all kinds of other things. My friend spent hours cleaning her kitchen from all the drips and spills.

We called this a sandwich maker. And the kids filled them with all manner of fillings. It sealed like a pizza pocket, so the messier the better. Most common were:
pizza sauce, mozzarella & pepperoni sliced cheese & ham peanut butter & bananas Marshmallows and nutella cream cheese & pie filling or jam a raw egg (I think they started this one open faced, and then sealed it when the egg was cooked?)
My oldest son saw one last spring at Canadian Tire and immediately bought it and brought it home like he had discovered a treasure. His wife looked at him like he was out of his mind. But he taught his kids to use it, and they love it too.

I only got rid of my toasted sandwich maker a little while ago. The head of the cow was hinged and when you pressed it down it moo-ed. The kids had left home when I got it - Little things amuse me.

Yep definitely a toastie short for toasted sandwich. Fairly common snack in independent cafes over here. I like mine with cheese and ham. Yum.

Oh, I think I have one of the machines in the cupboard under the sink with all other small appliances whose novelty wore off (popcorn maker, etc!) x
