Panini Hints for Best Results
• Turn the temperature control dial to HIGH to preheat the Panini Grill
before each use.
• Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.
• A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, rye, fruit
breads, tortillas, atbreads, even pitas.
• With the Panini Grill’s non-stick grill plates, it is not necessary to butter
or oil the outside of the bread. However, spreading a small amount of
butter or olive oil is recommended
to encourage even browning of the bread.
• NOTE: The Panini Grill is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not use
non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the grill plates.
Use olive oil instead.
• WARNING: Do not use non-fat spreads. They may burn and damage the
non-stick grill plates.
• When using soft or liquid llings, use thicker-sliced breads. Try
removing the insides of soft rolls to create a cup in which lling
can be added.
• Most fresh fruits release juice when heated. If the recipe calls for canned
fruit, drain and pat fruit dry with a clean paper towel.
• Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under
high temperatures.
• A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled panini
crispier and adds avor when using sweet llings.
• Whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than white breads and
should be grilled at lower temperatures.
• After you have removed nished panini, close the top grill plate to retain
heat while assembling more sandwiches.
• Use the Panini Grill to keep food warm. Place grilled sandwiches onto
the grill, lower the top grill plate. The oating hinge will automatically
adjust to the thickness of the sandwiches. Press the handle down rmly,
then turn the grill plate lock clockwise to secure. Turn the temperature
control dial to LOW or to a lower setting before serving.
• To avoid food contamination, wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent
paper towel to wipe the grill plates clean after each use.
