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.

A panini maker is sometimes called a panini grill or a panini press but no matter what its called, itll make a great sandwich. Theres some sort of magic that takes place when you heat and press several ingredients together on thick slices of crusty bread. Its like of of those whole is greater than the sum of its parts type of situations.

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.

Just about anything that you decide to make on a panini maker is going to come out pretty good. And with a great panini grill you'll always have the option to make what you want. Whether it's a peanut butter and banana sandwich or a filet mignon cheesesteak or some new sandwich invention you'll be set. And that's why every kitchen should come with a panini maker.
