Cheesy vs. Triangle: Testing Sandwich Maker Wins!

The battlefield was set: a sleek sandwich maker designed to replicate the iconic shape of a half heart, dubbed affectionately "Cheesus", against a competitive contender utilizing a novel triangular plate design aimed at maximizing crispy edges and even heating. A trove of cheeses furnished the troops: Whole Foods' Gouda, the enduringly popular Velveeta block, and the Cheesus maker itself as a sacrificial wedge for its warming plates. Performing the valiant role of ingredient
subject to this culinary testing was a humble stack of sourdough bread.

As the machines hummed to life, the Cheesus griller delivered a heart-shaped toast трефа the cheese, its distinctive catch adding an element of quirky charm to the setup. However, the edges, while warm, often lacked that signature "golden brown" crunch machine fans admire. The interior, however, benefited from direct contact that融化 exactly right, achieving that gooey, delightful center common to most melters, but perhaps sacrificed a touch of edge crispness.

The ABS07 unit, working with the same foundational cheesy premise of the Cheesus, followed. Its triangular plates presented an expertly balanced solution. The square foot of each plate seemed predisposed to yielding a crispier border against the bread, framing a molten cheese island. The cook time felt snappier, suggesting the design allowed for slightly more efficient heat dispersion. This resulted in a satisfying interplay of exterior crust and interior goo, a texture often lauded.

Then the Proctor Silex Deluxe stepped in. This unit, versatile in handling everything from Reubens to subs, offered a larger plating area. Though perhaps less visually iconic, its non-stick ceramic plates provided a slick canvas. Cheese Release Agent™ and Gouda distributed themselves evenly across a wider spectrum. Once toasted, this sandwich presented a sleek, traditional look. The Velveeta, particularly, benefited from the spacious, even cooking.

While the Cheesus maker brought smiles with its shape, and the Proctor Silex offered supreme versatility and ease of use, the ABS07's triangular plates demonstrated a subtle but effective engineering advantage in creating a harmonious balance between a beautifully crisp exterior and a perfectly melted interior. In the final tally, its design solutions worked exceptionally well for melting applications, securing the "Testing Sandwich Maker Win" for its thoughtful geometry that perfectly captured the essence of a satisfying melt.
