Panini Grill

By Anthony Tripp

A panini grill is a must have kitchen appliance for everyone. Whether you live in a house or a small apt. Why even a college dorm room is a great place for a panini maker. Not only can you make fantastic panini sandwiches with a panini maker, you can also use it as an indoor grill.

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.

Using a panini maker as an indoor grill is also a common practice. Look at the George Foreman grills. Do you think that if they were called hamburger cookers that they'd be as popular as they are? No, they wouldn't. People love how you can cook most anything on a George Foreman grill and it's the same deal with a panini maker. Grill some vegetables or meats before you press them together in your panini sandwich. No reason to create dirty frying pans when the panini press can do it all.

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.

No matter what you decide to cook you'll be happy that you bought a panini maker. It will probably become your favorite kitchen appliance even if you're not a big sandwich fan. And nothing beats a hot panini sandwich fresh off of a brand new panini maker.
