Breville Original '74 BSG1974 Questions & Answers

Depending on the type of bread you use, it can. Sometimes it doesn't cut right through but it's pretty close.

Thankyou so much for your answer. Cutting it through "pretty close" is good enough. Thanks again :) Christmas present for mum sorted :)

Standard wonder white bread worked fine when we use it mostly. Helgas slightly thicker bread turns out even better but both seal well around the edges. Spreading fresh parmesan on the outside of the bread after buttering it also creates an even better texture!

Thank you for your response. I am on a mission today to buy bread to fit, will try the Wonder white/Helgas and see how I go.

I have used all different types and size of bread. wonder white is one of the better ones, but you still get some leakage. I think it comes down to how much filling and positioning of the bread.

I bought Tip top 9 grain, it fits and I did a half jaffle for breakfast and it sealed very well. Happy with my purchase now.

I have had no issues and I have used it a lot.

Non-stick coating has not peeled off. However, I am careful and I use a silicon spatula to remove the sandwich, i.e. I never use a metal knife, because it is teflon.

Hi no issues with mine just clean it after every use with paper towel and use it daily in winter and had it around a year. It still looks new inside and out cheers Peter

Mine lasted 4.5 years, then the coating started to come away

I use large slices too. Yes they fit.

Standard sized slices fit best as it is the same size as the original. Hi-top loaf slices would hang out the sides.
