Does it have a temperature control?

No. It runs at a fixed heat with a power indicator light, so you judge doneness by watching the sandwich.

Can I cook more than sandwiches in it?

The plates are fixed and meant for pressed sandwiches and similar flat items. It is not a convertible grill with swappable plates.

How do I clean the plates?

Let the unit cool, then wipe the non-stick plates with a damp cloth. They are not designed to be removed and washed in a sink.

Will it fit thick sandwiches?

It handles standard bread and modest fillings. Very thick or heavily loaded sandwiches can be hard to close and may spill at the edges.

Does the latch lock the lid shut for storage?

The latch holds the lid down while pressing and also keeps the unit closed when stored upright.

What power does it need?

It runs on 120V at 60Hz and draws 750 watts, so a standard US kitchen outlet is enough.

Our take on the MegaChef Electric Non-Stick Sandwich Maker

The MegaChef Electric Non-Stick Sandwich Maker is a compact 750-watt press with non-stick cooking plates, a power indicator light and a locking latch that holds the lid down while it presses. It is a small, simple countertop unit for grilled cheese, paninis and quick toasted snacks. Against larger panini presses and multi-plate grill makers, it offers fewer functions and no temperature dial, so it suits someone who wants a basic press rather than a versatile grill. Owners of small presses like this tend to value the easy-clean plates and quick heat-up, and often note that thin sandwiches brown unevenly and that there is no heat setting.
