Amazon.com Review
Stuff two slices of of rustic Italian bread with mozzarella, prosciutto, fresh basil, roasted red peppers, and whatever else takes your fancy, brush with olive oil, then press between the hot plates of this grill for the best panini outside Italy. The nonstick plates are hinged to adjust to any thickness of sandwich, meat, fish, or vegetables, and the bottom plate slants slightly to allow grease and juices to drain off into the included plastic cup. Brunch guests will ooh and aah over the retro-look mirror-and-glitter finish of the grill with its wide sweep of a handle. A round polished knob lets you set and see just the right temperature in a small glass window. Measuring 14 by 12-1/2 by 5 inches, the grill includes a cord wrap and locks for upright storage. A comprehensive gift-quality recipe book featuring more than 60 recipes for panini, bruschetta, and spreads comes with the grill, which is covered by a limited 1-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

4 out of 5 stars Not just a Panini   June 10, 2008
J. A. Mcmahon (MENIFEE, CA USA)
Great way to make a hot sandwich, wrap it in foil and enjoy on a picnic.

But not just sandwiches for this machine, perfect grilled chicken in about 8 minutes!

Use to imagination to utilize this product.



5 out of 5 stars We dig it.   June 3, 2008

I bought this for my wife for Mothers Day. Okay, I know what you're thinking: she's my wife, not my mother. I always point this out to her in early May; "You're not my mother," I tell her. She is not amused by this.

But on behalf of the children, I bought her this DeLonghi panini grill, chosen on the basis of the great reviews here at Amazon. We've been making panini a couple times a week, and everybody loves the thing -- especially my wife, who gets to sit back and let everyone make their own dinner for a change.

A side benefit of this product is that each of us gets to refer to his or her individual sandwich as "my panino" -- how much glee we derive from using the singular of this delightful Italian word!

DADDY: "How is your panino?"
SON: "Best panino ever!"

I'm not sure if the "panino" thing works with other brands, but it's rocking with the DeLonghi. Buy it.
