Tefal XA801012 Pancake Plates Set, Non-Stick, Snack Time, Accessory, Snack Collection, Black, XA8010

We recently got the excellent Tefal sandwich- and snack-maker through a loyalty point scheme. The main attraction being to get rid of our range of cheap low-quality kitchen devices such as a toaster, pancake maker, waffle maker ect. The other argument being that those devices that we used most frequently got very greasy and were hard to clean - since electrical devices don't do well in a dishwasher. These plates obviously can be cleaned easily and are of sturdy high quality. And we're now trying out a number of other grill and baking options with the new Tefal machine - so far with very satisfying result. The only few issues to point to is first of all, that as a space-saver the machine it self is fairly large and then each set of plates comes in a VHS-cassette type plastic box, so given that we got 5 of them now, it fills up the cupboard quickly. Albeit in a more efficient and less messy manner than with the myriad of other devices before. Secondly, at a 15 GBP price point we each of these sets of plates has a comparable price to some low-end kitchen device that allows you to make the some thing. Update - I got very excited by somebody asking about using this Tefal device as a George Foreman grill for steaks. So I got a high quality sirloin steak, put some salt and pepper on it and placed it between the grill plates for 3 minutes (maybe add 1 minute depending on the steak thickness and your cooked-prefference) - and OH BOY!!! the result was a delicious medium-rare steak !! see added picture. The family LOVED this steak sandwich lunch option. The plates got a bit more messy/greasy and required a good washing afterward. But well worth it.

It's easy to use and to clean. The pancakes turn out perfect. I also use it to make small omelettes for my kid's lunch box.

Love making bagels and doughnuts With this plate I love that the plates are interchangeable makes it versatile

These work perfectly in my griller for making tasty toasted sandwiches. I wish they were a bit larger, and the cost of the griller plus a few accessories makes it one of the more expensive options around.

We use these to make small pancakes most weekends. It works well and is easy to clean. Not necessarily faster than making them on a large hob pan, but great for consistency or if you otherwise only have smaller skillets/pans

So much easier than making in a frying pan, cooks both sides at the same time. Like the Tefal frying pans, the plates are so easy to clean. As some other reviewer mentioned, the collection and unit saves money and space.

Mouldings too small, not worth buying for size of results, only good thing is tried to make cake bite and it was ready in less than 2 min

Love these plates for panini and great for toasted sandwiches as well as the bread I use tends to be too big for sandwich plates. Great buy.

Geweldig en netjes ingepakt.

Parfaitement parfait!

Este fin de semana lo utilicé por primera vez, hice bagels de cereales y ha sido increíble el resultado y la rapidez. Totalmente maravillada con este accesorio. Muy recomendado si te apetece hacer tus propios bagels rápidos y a tu gusto. Pronto intentaré hacer donuts. El tamaño es perfecto.

Parfait

Perfekt Ergänzung zum Tefal Snack Collection Gerät.
