The sandwich is then pressed between two grill plates to toast the bread and warm the sandwich.. Experiment making a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal.. We recommend using fresh-baked bread to produce the best-tasting 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® Grill & Panini Press functions as a Panini Press in the same manner that it functions as a Contact Grill.. The Griddler® Grill & Panini Press was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allow 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 sandwich to your liking..

When cooking two or more panini, it is important that the thickness of the sandwiches be consistent so the cover will close evenly on the panini..

Full Grill

Use the Griddler® Grill

&Panini Press as a Full Grill to cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend cooking

bone-in chicken, since it does not cook evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables..

“Full Grill” refers to using the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press 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..

Cooking on the Full Grill is a versatile method of using the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press.. With the Full Grill, you have double the surface area 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 Full Grill position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking..

assembly instructions

Place Griddler® Grill & Panini Press on a clean, flat surface where you intend to cook.. The Griddler® Grill & Panini Press can be positioned in three ways:

Closed Position – Upper plate/cover rests flat on lower plate/base.. This is your starting and heating position and when using the

Contact Grill or Panini Press functions..

Open Position – Upper plate/cover is open and in the 100° position.. Open the cover to this position before using the Griddler® Grill &

Panini Press as a Contact Grill or Panini Press..

To adjust the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press to this position, simply lift the handle until you feel it come to a locking

position.. The unit will stay in this position until you close the cover or continue to open it to the flat position..

The cover will stay in the open position until you lower the handle for cooking.. When this is done, the hinge will release itself so that the upper plate lies flat on the top of the food you are preparing.. This allows you to cook your food evenly from both top and bottom.. When you lift

the handle to open the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press after cooking, the cover will remain in the flat

position, parallel to the lower plate.. In order to lock the cover back into the open position, you must close the Griddler® Grill & Panini Press, without any food in place, and open it again..
