Panini Grill

By Anthony Tripp

Everyone should own a panini maker. No matter where you live, there should be one of your kitchen countertop and it should get a lot of use. Even if you don't like panini sandwiches you can still use a panini maker as an indoor grill. There's tons of great food that you can make with a panini maker.

Whether you call if a panini press or a panini grill or a panini maker, it's still an appliance that you should start using. The act of heating up food and pressing it together between thick slices of hearty bread make for some great sandwiches. You'll be amazed at how even the most different ingredients blend together to create new and interesting flavors.

I have no problem eating a panini sandwich everyday. But if I only used my panini grill for making sandwiches, I probably wouldn't be getting my money's worth. You can also use a panini maker as an indoor grill. If the panini maker has flat grilling plates, then go ahead and make a nich batch of pancakes for you family on a Sunday morning. You can grill vegetables, make burgers or even fry up some shrimp. It's a must have appliance for someone in an apartment without a BBQ.

When buying a panini maker theres a couple of important features to keep in mind. First, removable dishwasher safe grill plates are a must have. Theyll make clean up a breeze. Second, if you plan on making greasy foods like hamburgers youre going to want a drip spout on the grill plates. Even better if the panini maker comes with a little cup to be used for catching grease from the drip spout. Third, a cool to the touch handle makes panini cooking much easier. Dont forget, youre goal is to press the sandwich together. And thats a little harder to do with a big pot holder on your hand. The cool touch handles make getting a little leverage and squashing your panini a lot easier.

So whether you plan on making pressed gourmet sandwiches or if youre going to making quick and easy grilled cheese, youre going to want a panini maker in your kitchen. Give it a prime location on your countertop because youre going to be using it a lot.
