PANINI HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
It is usual to prepare Panini (s) from a hearty loaf of bread. However, Panini
(s) made from the store, sliced breads or rolls can be delicious and simple to
make. Experiments with a variety of breads, tortillas, flatbreads, even pitas.
For health-conscious cooks, the non-stick coating of grill plates assures a
crisp and delicious toasting without the use of oil or butter. The raised ridges
and tilted bottom plate, allow grease and other liquids to drip off into the drip
tray and away from your food.
With the Panini Grill's non-stick grill plates, it is not necessary to use 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: 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.
Always preheat the Panini Grill before each use.
Have all the ingredients at hand before preparing the panini.
When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker slices of breads. Try removing
the inside of the bread to create a cup form in which filing can be added.
Most fresh fruits release juice when heated. If a recipe calls for canned fruit,
drain and dry the fruit with a clean paper towel.
Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to melt under high
temperatures.
