Abstract: A sandwich toasting apparatus having two mould halves which form at least one cavity between them when brought together to receive and compress the peripheral edges of a sandwich consisting of two slices of bread having a filling therebetween, and an electric heater associated with said mould halves to heat said sandwich and toast the exterior thereof. Each mould half has at least one transverse rib extending into the mould cavity with a flat face which is positioned so as to be adjacent the flat face of the rib in the other mould half when the mould halves are closed, whereby said ribs act as scissor blades to progressively sever the sandwich and seal the severed edges.
