Home cooks claim Kmart's $15 toastie maker is the best buy yet - but they aren't using it for sandwiches

An Aussie mum has revealed how she makes perfect fried eggs using Kmart's popular $15 microwave toastie maker.

And it takes less than four minutes.

The mum was excited to share her cooking tip online and started by spraying both sides of the toastie maker with oil.

She then cracked an egg on the middle of one of the plates,sealed it and popped it in the microwave to cook. 

'It worked,' the delighted mum said as she opened the toastie maker to reveal the cooked egg.

The mum recommended cooking the egg for a little less than four minutes,as the yolk was a bit drier than she usually likes.

People were thrilled with the cooking tip. 

'Maybe add a rasher of bacon as well and you have breakfast sorted,' one woman suggested. 

Fans of the 'amazing' bargain buy are already using the Microwave Toastie Maker to make 'the crispiest' melted cheese toasties and party pies

The popular gadget has sent fans into a frenzy since it was quietly launched last month,and is already being called 'game changing'.

One impressed mum even purchased three of the toastie makers for her adult children.

The gadget comes in pink,green,blue or black. 

It has silicone casing and a non-stick aluminium interior for easy cleaning.

Fans are already using it to make 'the crispiest' melted cheese toasties and party pies. 

Many have recommend the versatile gadget for reheating leftover pizza.

One person even mentioned that the Microwave Toastie Maker is a smart option for coeliacs.

'My mum is gluten intolerant and swears by these. She keeps one at work so she can make toasties without worrying about being gluten-ed by the communal sandwich press,' she said.  

One video on TikTok showing the gadget making a perfectly browned toastie has already been liked 5.2 million times in the last week.
