Panini Press

Everyone should own a panini maker. No matter where you live, there should be one of your kitchen countertop and it should get a lot of use. Even if you don’t like panini sandwiches you can still use a panini maker as an indoor grill. There’s tons of great food that you can make with a panini maker.

Whether you call if a panini press or a panini grill or a panini maker, it’s still an appliance that you should start using. The act of heating up food and pressing it together between thick slices of hearty bread make for some great sandwiches. You’ll be amazed at how even the most different ingredients blend together to create new and interesting flavors.

I have no problem eating a panini sandwich everyday. But if I only used my panini grill for making sandwiches, I probably wouldn’t be getting my money’s worth. You can also use a panini maker as an indoor grill. If the panini maker has flat grilling plates, then go ahead and make a nich batch of pancakes for you family on a Sunday morning. You can grill vegetables, make burgers or even fry up some shrimp. It’s a must have appliance for someone in an apartment without a BBQ.

There are several must have features that you’re going to want in a panini maker. The first one is easy clean up. Make sure your panini grill has removable grilling plates that you can put in the dishwasher. Next you’ll need a large cooking area. Don’t buy a tiny panini maker that will only fit a white bread grilled cheese sandwich. When you’re cooking panini you’re going to want to go big and pile on the ingredients. And that brings me to the next important feature, a floating hinged top. No matter how thick you go, the top will adjust to give your sandwich the best possible press it can.

So whether you plan on making pressed gourmet sandwiches or if youre going to making quick and easy grilled cheese, youre going to want a panini maker in your kitchen. Give it a prime location on your countertop because youre going to be using it a lot.
