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 an Italian term for grilled
sandwich. 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 savoury 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 plates are recommended. We
recommend the grill plates because a traditional-
style Panini sandwich will have grill marks on
the bread. However, depending upon the type
of sandwich you are preparing, you may wish to
use the griddle plates. 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
allows 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 more
than one Panini, it is important that the thickness
of each sandwich
is consistent so the cover will close evenly
on the Panini.
Open Grill:
Use the Griddler as an Open Grill to cook
burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend
cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook
evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
Cooking on the Open Grill is the most versatile
method of using the Griddler. In the open
position, you have double the surface area
(500 sq. cm) for grilling. You have the option of
cooking different types of foods on separate
plates without combining their flavors, or cooking
large amounts of the same type of food. The
open position also accommodates different cuts
of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you
to cook each piece to your liking.
“Open Grill” refers to using the Griddler with the
cover
laying
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 an Open Grill,
the grill plates should be used.
Griddle:
Use the Griddler as a Griddle to cook
pancakes, eggs, French toast, hash browns
and breakfast meats.
Using the Griddle function is a wonderful way to
prepare
breakfast
for two or
for a
large
family.
The large
surface
area allows you to cook a variety of different
foods
at the same time, or large amounts of your
favorite food.
When you use the Griddler as a Griddle, open
the cover so it lays flat, creating a double, flat
cooking surface. In this position, the foods you
are preparing will have to be turned over for
cooking. When using this cooking function, the
griddle plates should be used.
