Use the Griddler
®
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
®
is used as a Contact
Grill, the grill side of the plates is
recommended. Rest the cover evenly on
top of the food until it has reached the
desired cooked temperature.
The Griddler
®
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 food
items is consistent so
the cover will close
evenly on the food.
Panini Press
Use the Griddler
®
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), michetta (a small
round roll with a crisp crust), ciabatta (a
rectangular bread with a slightly domed
crust) and thick slices of classic Italian
bread.
When the Griddler
®
is used as a Panini
Press, the grill side of the 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
®
functions as a panini press
in the same manner that it functions as a
Contact Grill. The Griddler
®
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
®
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
®
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
®
is used as
a Full Grill, the
grill side of the
plates should be
used.
Cooking on the
Full Grill is the
most versatile
method of using the Griddler
®
.
With the Full Grill, you have double the
surface area (200 sq. inches) for grilling.
