Cornell Hello Kitty Sandwich Toaster

Do you remember the Cornell Hello Kitty Sandwich Maker I shared before previously? This time, I am sharing the Hello Kitty Sandwich Pop Up Toaster from Cornell.


This is the kawaii toaster I'm referring to, which lets you make a Hello Kitty print on your toasted bread. I received it last Thursday and was eager to try it out the following day. The toaster comes with a cover lid that helps to keep dust out when the toaster is not in use. It also comes with a removable tray at the bottom that helps you to get rid of the bread crumbs.


The toaster is a breeze to use. It comes with an adjustable knob for you to adjust the heat settings. I suggest setting it to around 3 for your first try. After that, you can turn the heat level up or down, depending on how dark/light you want your Hello Kitty print to be.


I made a grilled chicken sandwich for our dinner. I omitted the onions for my boys' sandwiches as they don't like onions. I will be sharing the recipe at the end of this post.


The Hello Kitty Pop Up Toaster is available at all major electronics and departmental stores.


If you are staying in Singapore, you can now stand a chance to win a Hello Kitty Toaster or Sandwich Maker, I will share about it in tomorrow's post. I will also share another recipe for you to try with the Sanwich Maker tomorrow. :)
