We all love a good toasted sandwich. But sometimes we can't be bothered making them. Now Watties has solved that problem with their new range of pre-prepared Toasties. These are a true heat and eat snack. Simply take one out of the freezer, drop it in the toaster and you-re away laughing. Toasties come in a range of flavours including Baked Beans; Ham, Cheese & Onion; Cheese & Onion; Corn & Cheese; and Cheese Lovers.
Product reviews...
This one was pretty good actually. Not the greatest but nowhere near the worst of the range by any means. The corn was nice and the cheesy was creamy and carried at least some flavour but the whole thing had a slightly floury taste to it. Cooked as easily as the rest of them. Unlike the others this one was far better cooked in a pan instead of a toaster. It was also really nice when cooked and slapped on a plate with some sliced tomato on top and some pepper and salt eh. A pretty good option if you want a snack.
Even though this one scores a bit higher, because of the nutrition value of corn, It was a very close third place by my tastebuds. Just as easy to cook, from frozen or thawed as all the others in the range, and pretty much as tasty. Basically they are all so nice, it will come down to personal choice.
The bread is real bread, not some kind of processed pap... this is clearly proven by the occasional crust that didn't get trimmed off, but instead snuck inside the mould and was missed by the cutters. No bad points for that from me, I love toasted crust! But some might want to make sure there is another family member or friend handy to snarf that sandwich while you toast y'self a replacement... or two... or... ![]()
Overall, another great flavour, only JUST beaing beaten out of second place in my list by the delightful Ham, Cheese & Onion. Something I would love to see would be a toastie like this one, with come bacon added, or a bit of onion, or better yet, BOTH! -drool- Bacon, Corn, Cheese & Onion... -staggers off to locate the keyboard's raincoat... and stick another toastie in the toaster-
Oh yeah this is my favourite. I love corn. It goes good boiled, roasted or BBQ'd and it goes totally righteous in a toastie stuffed with dripping cheese, and cooking it on a bbq with some chili and avocado oil, on man, it just defies words.Now this is hardly peak bbq season so I figured I would hold a couple back and try them in a frypan since I got my samples home and most had thawed out. No chance to stick any in the freezer. Fired up the stove later that night after the whanau had gone home and had some for a naughty midnight snack. you dont need much oil or butter in the frypan because there is some kind of butter replacement already painted on the outside of the bread. I just used a small dribble of plain oil and flipped these around for about 4 minutes. Flip them out onto a plate and while the filling is hot stuff them down the gob. Nice. ![]()
