HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

•Always preheat the Panini Maker before each use.

•Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.

•A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, fruit breads, and white bread.

•With the Panini Maker’s Non-Stick Grilling Plates, it is not necessary to butter the outside of the bread. However, to encourage even browning of the bread, spreading a small amount of butter or margarine is recommended.

NOTE: The Panini Maker is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not use non- stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the Cooking Plates. Use cooking oil instead.

•When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Bread can be slightly toasted before filling is added.

•Most fresh fruits release juice when heated. It is preferable to used canned fruit; drain and pat fruit dry with a clean paper towel.

•Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.

•A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled panini crispier and adds flavor when using sweet fillings. Prepare delicious panini desserts with custard or cream.

•Remember that whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than white breads.

•After you have removed finished panini, close the Lid to retain heat while assembling more sandwiches.

•Wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel to wipe the Grilling Plates clean after each use to avoid food contamination.
