Microwave toastie gadget dubbed the 'best sandwich maker' drops to £19 in Prime Day sale
Perfect alongside a warm bowl of soup or as a stand alone snack, a toastie is a go-to dish for many of us especially on a colder day. While there are many ways to make this indulgent snack, it's likely most households have an old toasty machine lurking in the back of one of their kitchen cupboards.
While these devices do make a decent cheese toastie, they can sometimes be more hassle than they are worth as you need to wait for the machine to reach the correct temperature and also deal with the clean up afterwards.
For those looking for something more quick and easy to clean, we have found a nifty gadget in Amazon's Prime Day sale that can be put into the microwave and will cost a fraction of the price of a toastie machine.
The usually retails for £34.99, but shoppers can now grab it for only £18.99 as part of the Prime Day sale. At nearly 50 per cent off, this is the lowest price the handy gadget has been all year, reports Chronicle Live.
For those who want a crispy toastie, this gadget doesn't take being a head chef to work out. Simply create your preferred toastie and place it into the toastie maker. Once the lid is secured shut, the device can be popped into the microwave for a few minutes and voila - the perfect toastie.
Capable of making delicious paninis, bagels, toasties and more in under three minutes, many shoppers have praised this nifty gadget for the minimal amount of clean up it requires afterwards. With the added bonus of being dishwasher safe, it's ideal for students, days in the office or small kitchens.
Alternatively, Amazon has also dropped the price of the George Foreman Small Electric Fit Grill. Normally retailing for £29.99, bargain hunters can now grab it for £17.99 in the Prime Day sale. Said to boast a speedy heat-up time, shoppers will have their favourite foods in under six minutes after switching on the device.
Over on Lakeland, the retailer is selling the CRIMPiT Toastie Maker for £14.99. Said to make mess-free toasties in minutes, the machines will crimp the edges of your chosen bread together to seal the filling inside.
Back to the Morphy Richards Toastie Gadget, the device currently has a 4.5 star rating from over 4,500 Amazon shoppers. Many shoppers have praised the gadget for how well it makes a toastie, as well as being easy to clean.
One happy shopper said: "I used it straight away to check it out after reading some negative reviews. I have only made two cheese toasties each with grated cheese and a slice of raw tomato on top and it worked a treat both times. Eat your heart out George Foreman."
With another five-star reviewer adding: "I thought this was going to be another 'Instagram gadget fail' when I bought it, but it's an amazing find!
"It makes excellent toasted sarnies, really crisp outsides and piping hot insides. You might need to go through a couple of trial-and-error sandwiches to get the correct level of browning, but use the guide for the 900w microwaves and add 10-20secs or so for 800w like mine and you should be good to go."
However, a few shoppers weren't fully impressed by the device. One person wrote: "Much too small for toasty bread having to cut the bread to size. I found it annoying. Another item for the cupboard!"
With another adding on: "It works, but it's too messy for me. It's easier for me to clean a pan than clean this."
Despite this, one delighted customer claimed: "Best sandwich maker so easy to use makes them exactly like the ones you get in Costa etc."
With a sixth shopper adding: "I'm so pleased with this gadget. It's so quick to make delicious toasties and very easy to clean and takes up very little space in my small kitchen cupboards. The toasties look great & taste great, no sogginess or cold spots."

Rare penny coin listed for £5million – but you need to get one thing straight
If you've seen rare coins worth in the million region, then you're sitting on an absolute fortune. But one collector revealed a common mistake about this penny piece Whether you're an avid collector or not, rare coins can make you rich. Recently people went wild for the rarest 50p coin with 200,000 in circulation as it's worth more than face value. Now the @CoinCollectingWizard who boasts 30,100 followers on Instagram revealed a 1971 penny which people believe is worth a staggering £5million, but that's where you're wrong. In a detailed post, he claimed many collectors might be seeing information on how this penny holds an eye-watering value which could be life-changing. He said: "1971 penny worth £5million! "You've probably seen the viral posts claiming that a 1971 1p coin is worth £5 million... but let's get one thing straight: "It's NOT true. It's NOT rare. It's NOT valuable." According to the coin collector, about a million of these coins were minted because it was the first year of decimalisation in the UK. He continued: "These coins are incredibly common and are worth exactly what it says on the tin: 1p." Urging followers to be careful, the coin collector concluded: "There are scammers and fake posts circulating online, especially on social media and dodgy websites, trying to convince people they've got a fortune in their pocket. "These are designed to trick you, either into handing over money, personal info, or just chasing fake dreams. "Always double-check with reliable sources. If it sounds too good to be true... it probably is." The Royal Mint reports a total of 1.5million of these coins were issued that year to replace the old 'pre-decimal' coinage which was being withdrawn. According to Britannia Coin Company, this is by far the highest annual mintage for 1p coins since decimalisation. Before this point, all early decimal pennies feature the words 'NEW PENNY' on the reverse, including 1971-dated coins. Meanwhile, this was changed to 'ONE PENNY' from 1982 onwards. While it is still possible to find portcullis pennies in your change, they are becoming less common. The reason for this is because The Royal Mint withdraws old, worn coinage in favour of newly struck pieces. So in other words, you'll be very lucky to find a 1971 dated penny coin.

Rare coin collector issues stark warning to people over 'penny worth £5million'
You might have seen some valuable rare coins online, but according to a collector you should be vigilant as it's not what it seems. Now have you got this penny? Checking your loose change for rare coins is crucial in this day of age. Recently one avid collector informed people how to spot a 50p coin which was listed for £15,000 online. Known as the @CoinCollectingWizard on social media, the user boasts a whopping 30,100 followers on Instagram where he shares important information on your coin collection. And while he usually delights fans with good news, his latest post on social media is a warning as many people are falling victim to scams. He discussed a 1971 penny which collectors believe is worth an eye-watering £5million, but it's not the case. He said: "1971 penny worth £5million!

The Only Factory White Ferrari 250 GTO Is Headed to the Auction Block
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. Rivian posted a $1.1 billion net loss in Q2 but reaffirmed its 2025 delivery target of up to 46,000 vehicles, betting big on the R2 SUV and brand updates. View post: Amazon Is Now Selling New And Used Cars — And Not Just Hyundais The Silverado EV more than doubled its EPA range with zero hardware changes. If you thought all cool Ferraris were red, think again. If there is one machine amongst the many prancing horses to leave the stables at Maranello, none comes within centimeters close to the legendary machine known to you and me as the 250 GTO. Built between 1962 and 1964, just 36 units of this special model were produced as hardcore racing machines to meet the homologation requirements for Group 3 GT racing. After their careers on the racetrack, these cars have gained a reputation as a car with holy grail status among Ferrari owners and the most discerning car collectors, as they have fetched some of the highest transaction prices in both private and auction settings. However, one special example is being offered for sale by Mecum Auctions in January 2026. A special car: chassis number 3729 GT, nicknamed 'Bianco Speciale,' is unlike the other 250 GTOs that graced the world with their presence. As hinted by the English translation of its Italian nickname (meaning 'White Special'), the provenance of the 3729 GT begins with the fact that it was the only GTO to be sold new in white; a decision that Mecum says required pulling internal strings at Ferrari. By providing your email address, you agree that it may be used pursuant to Arena Group's Privacy Policy. Per Mecum, the idea of a white 250 GTO was 'a huge deviation from Ferrari's strict color conventions—one that required quiet internal approval.' In the case of the late legendary British race team and dealership owner John Coombs, his connection to Alfredo Reali, 'Ferrari's discreet liaison for bespoke and sensitive client requests,' was a factor in securing the ultra-special request. However, unlike many of the Ferraris built under the modern-day Atelier and Tailor Made personalization programs, the 250 GTO was designed as a race car for actual competition, which it achieved with some of the era's most competitive drivers. Throughout its racing history, the Bianco GTO gained notoriety, piloted by well-known figures in the 1960s motorsport scene. It made its debut at Brands Hatch during the Peco Trophy on August 6, 1962, where Roy Salvadori drove it to a second-place finish. Just two weeks later, Graham Hill used it to finish second at the Goodwood RAC Tourist Trophy, which helped Ferrari secure the 1962 GT Manufacturers' Championship.

In 1963, Mike MacDowel won the Whitsun Trophy and the British Grand Prix GT race, while Jack Sears achieved the car's first GT class victory in August. Despite being driven by racing legends, this GTO left its mark without securing a single class win. Source: Mecum Auctions Jaguar benchmarked this GTO for its hardcore racing machine However, another essential key piece of provenance that Mecum notes was that this car was used as a benchmark by one of Ferrari's motorsport rivals of the period: Jaguar. Though Coombs himself denies this, Mecum notes that it is 'well documented that he did, in fact, lend his Bianco Speciale to the engineers at Jaguar for study,' as he was supposedly 'determined to give the lagging brand a chance at matching or exceeding Ferrari's racing success with its seemingly unbeatable 250 GTO.' With this car in question, the boffins at Jaguar were supposedly able to reverse-engineer the 250 GTO and use the technical knowledge to build their very own competitor on the racetrack: the Lightweight E-Type. After Coombs' time with the GTO, the Bianco Speciale changed hands through four different owners before it landed in the hands of one of its former pilots, Jack Sears, who would keep it for 30 years. In 1999, it was sold to Jon Shirley, a former Microsoft president and COO, and a notable art and car collector who made his fortune during the tech giant's formative years. In 2008, it earned its Ferrari Classiche Red Book, an ultimate certificate of authenticity, as it maintained many of its original parts and equipment over the years. Final Thoughts Mecum is set to display the Bianco Speciale at its Monterey auction this month during Monterey Car Week before it hits the auction block as the headliner lot at its event in Kissimmee, Florida, in January 2026. Mecum has not listed a reserve or a price estimate on this car, but granted that the last 250 GTO to go to auction had a hammer price of $51 million in November 2023, it will take a pretty penny to be a part of 'the most exclusive car club in all of the world,' per Mecum. In my purview, this car, in fact, any 250 GTO, would have a special spot in my theoretical 'unlimited money' garage. However, granted its special provenance and the fact that it's the only one to be painted in white, seals its place. I'd buy the ESPN+ subscription just to see this machine hit the block live. I hope we will not see the bid go on. About the Author James Ochoa View Profile
