Review: As there are a lot of reviews where the bread sizing has been a problem, I thought I'd try to address the issue if it's any help to others. I've uploaded 8 photos to illustrate the steps I took. I had uploaded these in chronological order; Amazon have messed up the order when processing my review but you get the idea. Despite some worrying reviews, I bought this as for £20 it seemed a bargain; looks good and I like both the 'Tower' brand embossing and the design of the plates which cleverly echoes the overall 'clam shell' shape of sandwich makers in general. Another helpful reviewer suggested rolling out bread to make the slice bigger, and you can see the before-and-after when I went at it with a wine bottle, not having a rolling pin in the house. There is a slight improvement in size. The bread I've used is best option for this, it needs to be thick bread to begin with because you're essentially compressing it to make it bigger in area, so medium sliced is not suitable. Make sure that you butter the wrong side all the way to the edge to stop it catching. Some reviews note that the underside apparently is more well done than the top and suggest that this is a defect- more likely that the underside is in contact with the plates for longer whilst you arrange the fillings- not a problem with the product at all. Although the box says 'deep fill' it's best to try and ignore this as it's too tempting to overfill. It's really just common sense, anything of a viscous nature like baked beans are obviously going to leak out especially if too much is used. I experimented with both a portrait and landscape layout of bread to see if either offers more success. I used corned beef and cheese; the cheese as far away from the edges as possible. Anything between 3 and 6 minutes is suggested in the instructions. On this first attempt I went for 5 minutes. If anything is going to spill out when you close the lid, it's going to happen straight away, so don't walk away and leave it. As the product doesn't ping when it's ready, you have to monitor it anyway for safety's sake. A quick wipe at the edge with a paper towel is all that's needed if there is any slight leakage when you close the lid and if you follow my guidance you shouldn't have to go to any further lengths. My final image shows that as the bread is still not quite big enough to reach the border which is cut off, the sandwich is still sealed sufficiently. As long as you follow the set-up instructions in the booklet provided and maintain the product well, you should get good results just like I have.
