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
& 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
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 .
