If you're heading off to college, the Meal Maker sandwich toaster is a great stand-in for a full stovetop. This sandwich toaster not only makes fancy panini-style grilled sandwiches in minutes, but also batter-based items, such as pancakes, omelets & French toast. An indicator light turns on when it's ready to cook, and another indicator lets you know when your meal is ready. When not in use, simply store the sandwich toaster either horizontally or vertically to fit your storage needs.
