In my humble opinion I believe that the Breville Snack 'n' Sandwich toaster is the greatest consumer product ever made.
The Australian design was first launched in 1974 and was an instant success throughout the nation prompting its release world wide.
This product revolutionised the world of toasted sandwiches.
Prior to Breville's ingenious development consumers were required to use a contraption known as a jaffle iron which was wholly dependant on a heat source such as a fire or stove top to work. Further more, whilst the jaffle was able to toast bread together it lacked the ability to fuse the bread effectively meaning the finished product was difficult to eat.
Here is where the Snack 'n' Sandwich filled a massive hole in the market for toasted goods. The plates of the small appliance were designed not only so that they first fused the two halves of bread together around the edge of the sandwich but also along the diagonal centreline creating two triangle halves for easy eating, later models even cut along the line for you.
From the 1970s to the present day the Breville Snack 'n' Sandwich has been a integral part of the family kitchen, not only in Australia but world wide. Breville's design is now utilised by a multitude of companies for their own sandwich presses proving its success. So successful in fact, that the term "Breville" is now synonymous with the toasted sandwich.
