Panini Press (Closed Position)
Your 2 Burger Grill doubles as a Panini Press. Traditionally, Paninis are sandwiches made with a variety
of breads, stuffed with meats, cheeses, vegetables…then pressed and grilled until the crust is delightfully
crisp. This 2 Burger Grill is calibrated at the optimum temperature for perfect pressed sandwiches.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury or damage to property, make sure the removable drip tray is fully
inserted into the front of the unit.
1. Lightly oil both grill plates, if desired.
IMPORTANT: Do not use non-stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the grill plates.
Use vegetable or olive oil instead.
WARNING: Do not use non-fat spreads as they may burn and damage the non-stick grill plates.
2. Preheat the 2 Burger Grill. Plug the unit into a 120V AC electrical outlet. The red POWER light will
illuminate and remain lighted during use.
3. Prepare your sandwiches as the appliance heats. Paninis can be prepared ahead of time, sealed
with plastic wrap, and refrigerated; then grilled as needed.
4. Wearing oven mitts, carefully open the lid and center 1 or 2 sandwiches on the lower grill plate.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload the grill plate.
5. To use the oating hinge, open the lid to 90º. Grasp the handle to lift the upper grill plate and extend
the hinge (See Figure 2); then lower the upper grill plate on top of the food. Check to make sure
that the upper plate lies evenly on the top of the food and the food is centered on the lower plate. If
desired, press the handle down several times while cooking.
6. Check pressed sandwiches at 5 minutes or according to recipe time. Using an oven mitt or pot
holder, grasp the handle and carefully lift the upper grill plate to check doneness.
If desired, continue grilling until the food is cooked to your liking.
7. Wearing oven mitts, remove grilled food from the grill plate(s) using a non-metallic utensil spatula.
WARNING: Never use a sharp or metal object as it may damage the non-stick surface of
the grill plates.
8. If additional sandwiches are to be cooked, close the 2 Burger Grill to retain heat.
9. When sandwiches are nished cooking, remove the plug from the wall outlet.
WARNING! ALWAYS UNPLUG UNIT WHEN COOKING IS FINISHED. Otherwise, the 2 Burger Grill
will continue to heat until unit is unplugged.
10. Allow the 2 Burger Grill to cool completely before removing the drip tray or to clean the unit.
Panini Press: Hints for Best Results
• It is customary to prepare Panini using a hearty loaf of bread. However, Panini made from
store-bought sliced breads or rolls can be delicious and simple to prepare.
Have fun and experiment with a variety of breads, tortillas, atbreads, even pitas.
• For health-conscious cooks, the non-stick coating of the grill plates assures crisp and delicious
toasting without the use of oil or butter.
• While it is not necessary to butter or oil the outside of the bread, spreading a small amount of
butter or olive oil is recommended to encourage even browning of the bread.
• Use nut butters, garlic aioli, hummus, guacamole, olive tapenade, pesto, your favorite mustard,
grilled onion jam on your Paninis for added creaminess and avors.
• Have all ingredients at hand before preparing Panini.
• When using soft or liquid llings, use denser, thicker-sliced breads. Remove the insides
of soft rolls to create a cup in which lling can be added.
• Most fruits release juice when heated. Drain and pat fresh or canned 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 faster than white breads and should be grilled for less time.
• To avoid food contamination, wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel to wipe the grill
plates clean after each use.
