The history of sandwich makers goes back to many centuries. They started in the form of the mechanical assembly over the fire by tired voyagers craving for hot nourishment. It was Thomas Edison who takes the credit for inventing the first proper sandwich grill. Later, the sandwich grill took the form of two concave cast iron pieces which could be clamped together and put on fire. Then came in the Electric sandwich toasters in the early twentieth century which did not get much recognition as well. Then in 1974 came in the revolutionary Snack n Sandwich Toaster by Frank O' Brien with the one of its kind Cut n Seal system. He invented it to cater to the need of busy working women for a quick and healthy meal. It became so popular that a sandwich in Australia is named Bevilles, after the name of the company.

Since then sandwich makers have greatly evolved and have come a long way. Today sandwich makers are found almost in every kitchen. They are used not just for making sandwiches, but they have become indoor grills giving space for a variety of dishes. Flip Sandwich Maker is one such sandwich maker which fits the bill well and efficiently serves its purpose.
