About Your Wolfgang Puck
Panini Maker
The English translation of Panini means little breads, or rolls and is equated with sandwiches. In the United States, Panini has come to denote a grilled Italian sandwich.
The Panini sandwiches of today are generally made using fresh, crusty Italian breads. Your Wolfgang Panini Maker uses the weight of the heated upper grill plate to grill both sides at the same time. Use your Panini Maker to prepare authentic Italian Panini’s and Cuban sandwiches, as well as to grill poultry, meat, fish, sausages, and a variety of other foods. Your Panini Maker is designed to sear foods perfectly. The special hinged top plate inherent on all Panini grills allows the grill to be used on extra thick sandwiches and food items.
Using Your Panini Maker
Your Panini Maker is best used with thick, crusty breads, such as French, Italian, and focaccia. The top grill plate is weighted to compress and grill a Panini to perfection in about 3 minutes (depending on the bread, filling, and personal taste). Your Panini Maker can also be used to grill a variety of food items, such as meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables.
