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 Me encanta mi panini grill...   July 19, 2008
playadelsol (Seattle, WA)
First panini grill I've owned. My in-laws have one and use it regularly --- that's why I decided to get one (plus the fabulous sale price). So far, I love it. We use it for paninis, grilled veggies or grilled sausages and veggie burgers. I am aware that there are more expensive panini grills out there, but this is highly recommended for first-timers and those not seeking a high-end professional one.
This is also a very helpful gadget for those wanting to watch their calories.

This has been great. Super paninis and no problems at all. I like it so much I have already purhased another one for my daughter.

Great grill. Use for panini peppered turkey & grilled tortilla sandwiches. Sturdy machine. Like previous reviews, the lack of an on/off switch feature was inconvenient, but purchased a switch for the plug and it works well. I bake homemade flatbread, brush on a little butter to the crust, and you get a super sandwich. Trying these out at our little deli/restaurant and it is a hit. Endless recipes to try. Will purchase a second one.
