The Copper Kettle, a small seaside tea room in Penzance, was struggling with a bottleneck at lunchtime. Their panini press was slow to heat up and even slower to clean between different fillings, causing delays for customers wanting a simple cheese toastie.
"We needed something faster for our basic toasties. These little bags were the perfect find. We can now use our regular toasters, which are always on anyway. The queue moves quicker, the staff are happier, and the washing up is a doddle. A brilliantly simple solution."
David Chen – Owner
The tea room can now serve simple toasted sandwiches 30% faster during the peak lunch hour, increasing turnover and customer satisfaction.
Ever wondered what makes these bags so good at releasing your sandwich perfectly every time? It's all down to the non-stick coating. Think of it like the surface of a high-quality frying pan that you can fold up and put in your pocket. The material is coated with PTFE, a substance famous for being incredibly slippery at a microscopic level. This means that even the gooiest, most melted cheese or stickiest sauce has nothing to cling to. Instead of cementing itself to your toaster's heating elements or the bag's interior, it just slides right off. For you, this means no soaking, no scraping, and a perfectly intact sandwich every single time, turning a potentially messy job into a clean, two-second task.
Q: Can I use these in a contact grill or panini press?
A: Yes, they work brilliantly in contact grills and flat presses too, helping to keep the grill plates clean.
Q: How hot can the bags get?
A: They are designed to withstand the heat of a conventional toaster or grill, typically up to 260°C (500°F).
Q: Will my sandwich still get crispy and brown?
A: Absolutely! The material is thin enough to allow heat to transfer effectively, giving you a golden-brown, crispy finish.
Q: Can I put things other than sandwiches in them?
A: Yes, they're great for reheating slices of pizza, pastries, chicken nuggets, or hash browns without making a mess.
Q: How do I prevent cross-contamination for allergies?
A: We recommend using colour-coded bags or labelling them for specific allergens (e.g., 'gluten-free only') to maintain a safe kitchen.
Q: What are they made of?
A: They are made from a woven fibreglass fabric coated with non-stick PTFE, which is food-safe and durable.
Q: Will they fit my extra-thick bread?
A: They are best suited for standard-sliced bread. Very thick or artisan loaves may be too large to fit comfortably.
Q: How do I know when the bag is worn out?
A: You should replace the bag if you notice any flaking of the non-stick coating or any tears or holes in the fabric.
