No, this 'toastie' is designed to go into a normal vertical toaster.
According to the illustration accompanying the article, the 2 slices
of bread are quite thin, and appear to be sealed together around the
periphery, making a sauce-tight joint.  By the time the outside of
this package is toasted, hopefully the inside will be neither frozen
nor at mouth-burning hotness, but "just right".

McDonalds have announced that in Australia their deep-frying oil has
had its 8% of trans fat reduced to less than 1%.  That will remove
425 tonnes of trans fat from Australia's food supply.


Following Christmas, a survey was made of the uselessness or otherwise
of gadgets given as presents.  The five most useless kitchen devices
were found to be, in order of decreasing uselessness:

Electric wine chiller
Electric ice shaver
Ice cream maker
Vertical grill
Hand-held milk frother

While the most useful gifts were,

Rice cooker
Electric pepper mill
Benchtop mixer
Electric wok
Electric frypan
