About Your 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 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.
