Brilliant: you’ll want to get these Lidl toastie bags as soon as possible

Craving a toastie for lunch but only have a toaster at home? Pay attention, because with this handy tip, you’ll never need a toastie maker again.

I previously shared this hack for making a toastie in a toaster, where you simply turn the appliance on its side and slide your cheese-topped slices right in. Easy does it, and it works like a charm. But these toastie bags really do change everything.

Crispy without the mess

The bags are specially designed for use in a toaster. Fill your toastie as you normally would (and don’t forget to spread butter or mayo on the outside too!), put it in a bag and then place it in the toaster. Within 3 minutes, you’ll have a crispy(!) toastie without your entire toaster being covered in melted cheese, because it stays neatly between the two slices.

Reusable toastie bags

What’s more, you can reuse the bags around 50 times on average (!). After use, you can rinse them with warm water or put them in the dishwasher. They also have handy holes at the top, so you won’t burn your fingers when taking them out of the toaster. Brilliant. The bags cost €5.95 for 6 and you can order them online here. Be quick, because they’re selling fast.
