THE GRIDDLER
®
FIVE
DOES IT ALL
The Griddler
®
Five is the ultimate kitchen
appliance, offering you five separate cooking
options. Simply flip the reversible cooking plates
and adjust the hinge to use as a contact grill,
panini press, full grill, full griddle, or half grill/half
griddle. See Assembly Instructions and
Operating Instructions.
Contact Grill
Use the Griddler
®
Five as a Contact Grill to cook
burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts
of meat and vegetables.
The Contact Grill function works best when you
want to cook something in a short amount of
time or when you are looking for a healthy
method of grilling. When cooked on the Contact
Grill, food will cook quickly because you are
grilling both sides of the food at the same time.
The ribs on the grill side of the plates, combined
with the grease spout at the rear of the plate,
allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain
off the plates.
When the Griddler
®
Five is used as a Contact
Grill, the grill side of both plates is
recommended. Rest the cover evenly on top of
the food until it has reached the desired, cooked
temperature.
The Griddler
®
Five was designed with a unique
handle and hinge that allow the cover to adjust
to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill
anything from a thinly sliced potato to a thick
sirloin steak with even results.
When cooking more
than one food item in
the Contact Grill, it is
important that the
thickness of each food
item is consistent so the
cover will close evenly
on the food.
Panini Press
Use the Griddler
®
Five as a Panini Press to grill
sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.
The word panini is Italian for grilled sandwiches.
Panini can include any combination of
ingredients, such as vegetables, meat and
cheese layered between two pieces of fresh-
baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed
between two grill or griddle plates to toast the
bread and warm the sandwich. Experiment to
make 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), ciabatta
(a rectangular bread with a slightly domed crust)
and thick slices of classic Italian bread. But any
type of sliced bread or roll can be used to make
a great panini!
When the Griddler
®
Five is used as a Panini
Press, the grill side of both plates is
recommended. We recommend the grill side of
the plates because traditional-style panini
sandwiches have grill marks on the bread.
However, depending upon the type of sandwich
you are preparing, you may wish to use the
griddle side of the plates or any combination of
the two. The Griddler
®
Five functions as a Panini
Press in the same manner that it functions as a
Contact Grill. The Griddler
®
Five 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 is
consistent, so the
cover will close evenly on the panini.
Full Grill
Use the Griddler
®
Five as a Full Grill to
cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not
recommend cooking bone-in chicken, since it
does not cook evenly on a Full Grill), fish and
vegetables.
Full Grill refers to using the Griddler
®
Five 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. When the
Griddler
®
Five is used
as a Full Grill, the grill
side of both plates
should be used.
