Panini & Sandwich
Press to grill sandwiches, breads and
quesadillas.
The word “panini” is an Italian term for
grilled sandwiches. Panini can include a
combination of ingredients such as
vegetables, meat and cheese layered
between two pieces of freshly baked
bread. The sandwich is then pressed
between two grill plates to toast the
bread and warm the filling. Experiment
with a variety of savory or sweet
sandwiches for any meal. We recommend
using freshly baked bread to produce the
best-tasting panini. Popular breads for
panini are focaccia, michette, ciabatta,
and thick slices of Italian bread.
The Griddler
™
Panini & Sandwich Press
was designed with a unique handle and
hinge that allows the cover to adjust to
the thickness of the sandwich you are
preparing. This allows for even toasting
and heating. Light pressure can be
applied to the handle to press and heat
the sandwich to your liking.
When cooking two or more panini, it is
important that the thickness of all
sandwiches is the same so the cover
will close evenly on the panini.
