Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker with Egg Cooker Rings & Timer

Hamilton Beach is one of those brands with a lot of question marks, at least for me. I decided to write this review because this sandwich maker really outperforms my overall expectations. The videos in the ad are informative and accurate. I have used this to make about twenty breakfast sandwiches thus far and the only time things didn't work out were due to my errors. The total time from initial preheat, (3 minutes) to tasty breakfast is 8-12 minutes depending on your ingredients and tolerance for heated food. The egg can spill over some but the cleaning has been minimal. I have not had a sticking issue but I use a spray to make sure. I find a pair of silicone coated tongs work well to remove my sandwiches rather than a spatula. If you put meat in, the level may tilt and the egg may not spread evenly. It will cook but may leak through to the bottom. Again, not difficult to clean up. I have not used bacon, oooh, bacon!?! but I would not be surprised to see a greasy mess. I would probably use leftover bacon rather than fresh bacon. On that note, you MUST use cooked meats in this appliance. Most bacon is cured but will release a lot of grease. If I were to make an improvement, it would be to include an auto shut off. You need to be attentive to prevent an issue, but since I am usually hungry as a bear in the morning, I am drooling as I wait to hear that beep-beep saying it's breakfast time!! This is an inexpensive alternative to a drive-thru and will require as much time out of your day as waiting in line. Plus, you can make your coffee, or whatever you do, while you wait. unlike sitting in your car listening to traffic reports. LOL. Bottom line, if you are here, you want a way to make an easy breakfast. This is it, if you want an egg based sandwich. Dead short technology has been around way too long for there to be issues related to electrical reliability. I believe user care and the design which eliminates the potential to contaminate the circuitry from normal use is far more important than brand name on such a basic appliance. I wrote this review because I would buy it again for the same price, even if it fails within a few years. Why? Because it would most likely be my fault if it fails. For the small price compared to the drive -thru alternative, my break even is less than 10 trips to the clown show. UPDATE 11/2025 I have been enjoying this sandwich maker for a long time now, and I still find it to be as good today as the first day I used it. I mentioned above, that this brand leaves some questions, but at this point, it is a slam dunk. I have never had a problem with it, it has performed flawlessly, it is a great value and I just love it. Initially, I figured there were enough videos out there to explain all the features and functions, but after some time, I have learned a few things to share with all of you. Mainly, the incorporation of a wi-fi enabled outlet as shown in my video is a great way to ad a timer/switch to my/your routine. I set the outlet for 8-10 minutes, depending on what is in my sandwich, and initiate that process 10 minutes or so from the time I want to eat my breakfast. I prepare all of it the night before, usually with a frozen sausage patty to keep things cool overnight. I get up and go through my routine, and by the time it's all said and done, I am showered, have my coffee in hand, and my breakfast ready to go. This is such a time saver, and very reliable, that I have put a lot of effort into this review for your convenience and understanding, so you too, may enjoy such a wonderful appliance. I hope my pics and video helped you to undderstand in real life, what you are shopping for😀 I am very happy with this product and highly recommend it 😎 I sure hope you found this a help. Thanks👍🏼

This machine has been a total game changer at breakfast time! It’s so easy to use and makes delicious breakfast sandwiches with perfectly cooked eggs in no time. I love being able to make two at once, and cleanup is simple too. Breakfast is quicker, easier, and much more enjoyable. Definitely recommend! 🍳🥚❤️

Watched a few YouTube videos before I decided to purchase this. Was going to buy it as a Family Christmas gift but it never made it under the tree! We used it a couple days after we got it on the weekend. We bought a bunch of different things to try and our first run at it was very successful. We actually went on a shopping trip to buy a variety of things that could be used in it like precooked bacon, precooked sausage, chicken patties and ham, etc. We bought small burger buns which fit nicely in there as well as small frozen pancakes an English muffins. We tried out the chicken patties and cook those up first in the air fryer and then made the sandwich with the small hamburger buns, egg and American cheese. We added mayonnaise and pickles afterwards and that was really delicious. We also made some sausage muffins with egg and cheese as well. You can really creative variety of things. Some easier than others depending on how much time you want to put in. The meat needs to be precooked so I suggest buying things that are already precooked. If you're buying frozen items and have a air fryer that makes it a lot faster but it's definitely worth it! I think This would be also useful for brunch and lunch. Everything we made came out beautifully. I would suggest getting a spray variety of oil and use either a paper towel or brush to get all the areas. We had no problem at all with sticking. The only time we had an issue was when the ring plate for the egg was not all the way pushed to the side. If it's not completely push together the egg will just slip right out the crack, so make sure you have that in position correctly. The 5 minute timer was a little bit much so three minutes seem to actually do really well for us. It might take some trial and error but we only had one set that didn't come out perfectly which was when the timer was set for 5 minutes and when the egg slipped out the tiny crack that wasn't pushed all the way to line up with the ring. After that every other one came out absolutely perfect! The size of this is really nice. It looks a lot bigger in the pictures, but it is a nice compact size so it won't take up much room on a shelf or in a pantry. Super easy to clean up.

My wife loves this thing. It’s easy to use and easy to clean which is most important. She makes egg sandwiches a lot. At least 4 times a week. This appliance makes 2 sandwiches in like 2 minutes. It’s amazing according to my wife. She would highly recommend!

There is something about an egg sandwich that is fantastic and easy in the mornings. If you prefer a fresh egg sandwich made with organic ingredients, this is the way to go because everything is uniform and relatively easy. Unfortunately, this is not going to be incredibly easy/foolproof, as in, set it and forget it. It takes some getting used to and if you want really good sandwiches, you cannot put all the ingredients in and expect a picture perfect sandwich to come out. At least in my experience. The first thing I do is crack the egg into the top and try and put broken turkey sausage, cooked bacon or cheese into the egg mix. You can also put in spinach, chopped veggies, etc. Or just plain egg. One egg is fine but if you want a thicker sandwich, you can break 1 full egg and 2 egg whites into the tray. I wait until the egg mix cooks through a bit and then place two slightly toasted English Muffins into the section designed for those. If you put the muffins in before the egg cooks, they will likely not be crisp. I find that they get kind of soggy on one side, crisp on the other when cooked with the egg. They really should be lightly toasted and added at the end. Also, your sausage/bacon must be dethawed and not raw. This won't cook raw sausage ... and it won't cook frozen sausage. However, this thing is easy to clean ... you just wipe it down ... everything is non-stick. It has some nooks and crannies that are hard to get into on the actual machine but the egg trays slide out, making it easy. It's much easier than using a pan on the stove with spatulas, etc. It doesn't take up too much shelf space and I am so happy that they came out with a 2 sandwich version of this because when I had the single, one person would have to wait while the other's sandwich cooked. All in all, the cooking time varies based on the number of ingredients. But for the most part, it was a 5-8 minute process ... not bad for a fresh egg and cheese sandwich. The one thing this doesn't have is an auto-shutoff timer. I feel that the unit should have a timer. There are sometimes where I am getting ready for work while cooking my breakfast sandwich and it would be easier if I could set it and let it cook for the time I know it needs ... and then have the machine shut off. Often, I have to run in from brushing my teeth or taking a shower to shut the unit off. Or ... worse yet, sometimes I forget if I turned the machine off or not while I am on the highway to work. Ugh. Sure, stopping at a drive through and buying an egg sandwich is easier. But, over the long haul this not only saves money but also allows you to customize and add healthier ingredients. It's much better than those horrible microwavable sandwiches that are sold in grocery stores. With a little practice and trial and error, you'll be making breakfast sandwiches everyone would be jealous of.

Love this machine! My son and I love a good sausage, egg and cheese on an English muffin. We were buying them too much from our favorite food place so I decided to purchase this. Best money spent. In five minutes the meat and eggs are cooked thoroughly, cheese is melted and the English muffins are toasted. Of course you can put whatever you desire on your bread. Initially I purchased a single by the same brand and quickly realized I needed the double since we eat these sandwiches a lot 😆. I would buy it again for sure.

This little machine is a time saver. It preheats quickly, and only takes 4-5 minutes to cook the sandwich. It's super easy to use and leaves little to no mess after it's done. You plug it in, let it preheat, when the green light turns on that means it's preheated. You add the bottom of the English muffin, place your cheese/meats/veggies on top, you pull down the top cylinder, slide in the egg tray, add the egg and then place the top half of the english muffin on top of the egg, close it and set the timer on the device and it beeps when the timer hits zero to let you know it's finished. Then you unplug it to stop it from heating (it does not automatically turn off when timer hits zero), then you slide out the egg tray and lift the two cylinders up and viola! You now have a perfectly cooked breakfast sandwich! Side note, in case you are curious, you need to add precooked meats to it, not raw meats. Bacon, ham and sausage all have precooked variants at the grocery store which will expedite the cooking process for you because you don't need to preheat it or cook the meat prior to cooking which will save time and reduce the cleanup afterwards. Egg leakage was minimal, and I'm pretty confident they little that came out it was from me feeling the need to adjust the tray while it was cooking. The only leakage I noticed was from using oil spray on it. The oil dripped when I lifted the top cylinder. It said to use the oil lightly if you did choose to use it, I definitely didn't use it lightly so that's more of a me issue. It's the perfect size machine, not too big and it's lighter than expected, so it's pretty easy to store away etc. The instruction manual is self explanatory, super easy to understand and gives you some trouble shooting advice incase you mess up somehow and it doesn't turn out how you anticipated. The only way I could see it not properly cooking the food is if you didn't let the machine preheat and you didn't set a timer. And again. I want to emphasize it's super easy to clean, the metal cylinders are also dishwasher safe. I would absolutely recommend this product for those who want a quick hot breakfast with very little cleanup required. And two recommended sauces, Cajun majo or salsa goes great with the egg sandwich and the best cheese to use with this is finely shredded mild cheddar! That's just my personal opinion though. Some people said it smells... I think that's probably because they didn't clean it before first use. I cleaned mine prior to using it and i don't smell anything. It functions well for what it is. And side note, if you have marble counters like I do, you may want to skip the spray oil or make sure it's a very small amount, because oil will destroy marble counters if you don't clean it instantly. The device is all non stick material so you really don't even need to use a non stick spray. Hope this helps!!! :) **Review update on 10/6/24, I've been using this daily. Still no leaks or issues and I've experimented with different English muffins and different meats etc and its made the sandwich perfectly each time. I do recommended toasting the English muffins first before putting them in this machine. But it will make it regardless it's just a matter of preference on how toasted you want the muffin. ***

Don't think I will ever eat a frozen breakfast sandwich again. For years I would buy frozen breakfast sandwiches and bowls and rotated them for breakfast but that was getting boring. I came across the Hamilton Beach Dual Breakfast Sandwich Maker while looking for an omelet maker and decided to give it a try. The sandwich maker is well made and the price is good. It is very easy to use and easy to clean. We have had it for six weeks now and use it every other day. I have made sandwiches for my wife and I using English muffins, biscuits or pancakes. I use either Canadian bacon or sausage patties with Colby Jack, Swiss or American cheese. TIPS: Although the finish is non-stick apply a light coat of cooking spray to the upper and lower plates as well as the rings an the egg tray then gently wide the cooking oil with a dry paper towel to spread it around more evenly. Only use silicone utensils like a spatula with this product so that you don't accidently scratch the surface. Never use anything metal. Make sure the green light is on before you start making the sandwich. When making the sandwiches cut the cheese to fit the lower bun and place the meat on the cheese before putting the lower part of the sandwich in the bottom ring. Lower the upper ring and make sure the egg trays are completely slid in place before putting an egg in each ring. Make sure the upper heat plate for the egg is level or the egg will tend to run to one side. Use a toothpick to break the yokes so that that are runny. Set the timer for 3 minutes then salt and pepper before lowering the lid. Use a little Cajun southern seasoning if you want to kick start the morning. When the timer goes off lift the lid and place the top bun on the egg. Close the lid and set the timer for two minutes. Unplug the sandwich maker and remove the sandwich as soon as the second timer goes off. The unit does not turn off by it's self. Let the unit cool then use a barely damp dish cloth to wipe the inside of the unit clean. Then use a barely damp paper towel to rinse all the parts. We haven't had issues with things sticking to the surface. I recently bought a second one so that we can keep on at our beach condo. Frozen sandwiches now taste like cardboard compared to the sandwiches I can make with this sandwich maker and it only takes two more minutes to make the sandwich as compared to heating up a frozen sandwich in the microwave.

Voltaj TR’ye uygun değil.

Excelente producto, en la primera oportunidad lo probamos y salieron perfectos los sandwiches con el muffin ingles :D..!!!!

We love our new dual breakfast sandwich maker! We had a single one which was wearing out. When we saw this one, we knew it was going to be perfect and would make two breakfast sandwiches at once. It is easy to use -- just plug it in and wait for the "green light" to go on. Make sure you have everything ready to make your sandwich. Don't hesitate to purchase this. It is easy to clean.

Muy práctico y bien fabricado equipo para hacer sandwiches con bisquets o baggels. Versatil y bien pensado. Funciona muy bien y sólo mejoraría el control de intensidad, que se siente algo suelto. Pero opera muy bien.

Our 13yr old daughter wanted this so bad, as her friend has one! She used some of her own money and has no regrets! Her and her sister(14 yr old) use it every school day!! It takes exactly 4 1/2 mins to cook! Just enough time for them to get dressed!! They both LOVE it! I personally love that it is small, does not take up a lot of counter space, super easy to clean!! I gotta admit this is a LOVED product in our house!!
