drip from the meat and drain off the plates.

Rest the cover on top of the food until it has reached the desired cooked temperature.

The Griddler™ Jr. was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill anything from a thinly- sliced potato to a thick sirloin steak with even results.

When cooking more than one food item in the contact grill, it is important that the thickness of food items is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.

Panini Press

Use the Griddler™ Jr.

as a panini press to

grill sandwiches, breads and quesadil- las.

The word “panini” is Italian for grilled sand-

wiches. Panini can include any combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of fresh-baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill plates to toast the bread and warm the sandwich. Experiment to make a variety of savory or sweet sand- wiches for any meal. We recommend using fresh-baked bread to produce the best tast- ing panini. Popular breads used for panini are focaccia (a flat bread frequently baked with rosemary, salt and onion on top), michetta (a small round roll with a crisp crust), ciabatta (a rectangular bread with a slightly domed crust) and thick slices of classic Italian bread.

The Griddler™ Jr. functions as a panini press in the same manner that it functions as a contact grill. The Griddler™ Jr. was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the sandwich you are preparing, and to rest there evenly. Light pressure can be applied to the handle to press

and heat the sand- wich to your liking.

When cooking two or more panini, it is important that the thickness of the sand-

wiches is consistent so the cover will close evenly on the panini.

Open Grill

“Open Grill” refers to using the Griddler™ Jr. with the cover lying flat, creating a double, flat cooking surface. In this position, the foods you are

grilling will

have to be turned over for cooking.

Use the Griddler™ Jr. as an open grill to

cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not rec- ommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.

Cooking on the open grill is the most versa- tile method of using the Griddler™ Jr. In the open position, you have double the surface area (200 sq. inches) for grilling. You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separate plates without combining their flavors, or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The open position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking.

assembly instructions

Place Griddler™ Jr. on a clean flat surface where you intend to cook. The Griddler™ Jr. can be positioned in three ways:

Closed Position – Upper plate/cover rests flat on lower

plate/base. This

is your starting and heating position

when using the

contact grill or panini press functions.

Open Position – Upper plate/cover is open. Open the cover to this position before using the Griddler™ Jr. as a contact grill or panini press.

To adjust the Griddler™ Jr. to this position, simply lift the handle until you feel it come
