11 kitchen tools for building better sandwiches, plus tips from a pro

For National Sandwich Day, Brown Bag Sandwich Co. owner Gilli Rozynek shares ways to make better sandwiches at home and recommends tools for preparing them. Her advice focuses on making each bite balanced and easy to eat, with ingredients distributed throughout rather than layered unevenly.

Rozynek suggests chopping ingredients together, balancing rich fillings with acidic flavours, and choosing bread sturdy enough to hold fillings without being too tough. The article lists kitchen items including utility and bread knives, a pizza wheel, spreader, toaster, sandwich maker, cast-iron skillet and cutter; listed prices range from $8 to $45, with discounts shown on some products.
