PANINI HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS
•
Turn the temperature control dial to MAX 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,
flatbreads, 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 fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Try removing the insides
of soft rolls to create a cup in which filling 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 flavor when using sweet fillings.
•
Whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than white breads and should be grilled
at lower temperatures.
•
After you have removed finished 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. Turn the temperature control dial to MIN 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.
