Best Panini Grill Knowledge Base
Easy, quick way to clean panini grill ? i have an electric panini grill. after using it, i've found that the best way to get rid of any & all greasiness is to wipe every ridge & groove with a kitchen paper towel. however it is a pretty cumbersome procedure. any better, quicker & easier solutions to wipe off the grease? since i don't use it daily, i need to keep it clean otherwise it smells slightly even though i use the best vegetable oil. appreciate your answers

Funny Question about Oven Baked Sandwich/Panini? I'm at work and I have a Deli Chicken Breast and Cheddar Cheese Sandwich. However I want to warm it so that the bread is toasty and the cheese melted. I have an oven, a microwave and a toaster at work. What is the best way to do this since at home I usually use my george foreman grill to make paninis? If the oven is the best I need to know the temp to set it to and the time. Thanks. Ah my mom just called me I'm having lunch out with her. Thanks anyways will do for next time.

What cheese taste the best?? Any recipes?? Thanks!!

how does one clean a panini grill? I have a deli and after time, even with daily maintenence the grill is sooty and gunky. Should I use a product or just the brush or what?
Looking for a good panini press/grill/griddle...? I know "official" panini grills are ridiculously expensive and you can get the same affect with a griddle pan (plug in or stovetop). I prefer the plug in variety. Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy a decent one? Looking to spend around $50??
Can I use george foreman grill to make panini sandwich ? I just bought george foreman grill (clam type, for 3 burgers, model GR12, no temperature control). Can I use this grill to make panini sandwich ? I am not sure if both sides of the grill generate heat, but can I use this. Thanks a bunch.
Can you make a panini sandwich in a George Foreman Grill? Or will it burn the bread? Would only a panini press do the job? I have to many small appliances cluttering the kitchen as it is, so don't want to add another one. Thanks for the tip Tomato but I am a Muslim so I don't eat ham, which would be from a pig, which is forbidden, all other halal meats I can eat! and vegetables, a mexican vegitarian panini would be the best.
What is the temperature of a George Forman grill? I'd like to know how it compares to a panini grill. I often travel for work, weeks at a time, and I want to save money by cooking in my hotel room, rather than going out every night. Harsh comments- but funny. I'll defend the grill- it sat in my closet for years. After making chicken that was too dry, or greasy, I decided to try the old Foreman grill, and it came out perfect! Now all I have to do is put the chicken in there, throw some herbs on it set a timer, and in 7 minutes, it's perfect- every time! I'll make roasted garlic and olive oil, or low-fat sauces- I don't have to use any butter or oil, and it tastes just as good as cooking it on a stove. Other points- a foreman grill is great to use when you can't have a real grill, like in the city, and in the winter (both situations apply to me), and it uses less power than if I were to bake the chicken in an oven. And yes, it is juvenile, but the fact is that it works, and works pretty well! Also- "FancyChef" - nobody likes a snob.

Why am I so bloated? (Sodium related?)? I'm seriously bloated, I look pregnant and can't figure out what happened. For lunch, I had a grilled cheese sandwich, side salad, and fat-free vanilla ice cream on a 15-calorie wafer cone. Had a bit of Diet Dr. Pepper (a few sips). For dinner, it was a turkey panini (turkey, cheese, red & yellow pepper strips, salad dressing, on focaccia bread), a bag of Baked! Sour Cream & Cheddar Lays (230 cals, 410 mg of sodium), and diet Pepsi. For a late-night snack, I had a small orange and a can of Diet Pepsi. Why do I look pregnant?! I'm a virgin, pretty sure I'm not pregnant, unless a new way has been invented :) I had a bottle of water at the gym... 16.9 fl oz. (2 glasses) I think I need to lay off the crappy foods (grilled cheese, panini, high-sodium chips), too. Too bad I'm at college and the dining halls really don't have healthy options =/ (Can't eat salads at every meal!)
The Lunch question...? (choices)? I am going order take out from my favorite restaurant. what should i get? (descriptions right from the menu) Wood-Fired Vegetable Salad: Fire-roasted broccoli, mushrooms, summer squash, red & green peppers, basted with balsamic vinaigrette and served over mesclun greens. (and i add goat cheese) C.B.C. A grilled marinated breast of chicken with bacon, melted sharp cheddar, lettuce, and barbecue sauce on our freshly baked panini. Penne Pasta Diavolo Fresh Italian tomatoes, sautéed prosciutto (Italian ham), garlic, crushed red pepper, flambéed with vodka and tossed with penne pasta in a light tomato cream sauce. T.P.R. Chicken Barbecue thin-crust pizza Barbecued chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, bacon, grilled onions, wood-fired portabella mushrooms, and barbecue sauce. Topped with fresh scallions. whattya think? i can't decide! thanks : p
Is a George Foreman Grill good for making Paninis? Hi - thinking about asking for a Panini press for Christmas but wondered whether a George Foreman would be any good for Paninis then I get two gadgets in one. Any recommendations for models or Panini presses or GF grills gratefully received. Many thanks Jonathan
Flattened chicken breast...? I live in Miami and most of the latin restaurants serve this flattened breast cooked on a griddle/grill with black beans and rice. I have been using a meat tenderizing hammer to flatten my chicken breast but I'm curious. Is there a cooking tool, sort of like the press used to make cuban sandwiches or panini sandwiches, sold in stores that can be used to flatten & grill the breast instead of beating the heck out of it? If not, what are other alternatives to flattening the chicken. Beating it is such a mess!

Is a George Foreman Grill really that great of an investment? I am on a diet, strict one at that, complete with a personal trainer 5 days a week. I would really like an easier way to make food that I actually like (short of cereal, protein bars, and salads) and I have heard lots of people claim the GF is spectacular, but I was on the receiving end of some food cooked on one many years ago, and it was beyond inedible. I'm thinking grilled zucchini, chicken, sandwich/panini, etc. Also, and good, easy recipe sites would be awesome.
Why do people eat junk food as it is disgusting? I could walk into any coffee shop and get a good sandwich with cheese and vegetables on grilled panini, sushi, miso soup, etc. from a Japanese restaurant or a low-fat sub or wrap from Subway...as well as fresh fruit, salad and raw vegetable juices from grocery stores...why do people go and eat food high in sugar, fat, starch and chemicals?
panini recipes? I got a george foreman grill to make panini and grilled sandwiches. Anyone have any recipes for me to try? I have all kinds of bread, cheese and ingredients.
How healthy is my diet? Going to start working out again, and I know nutrition is an important part of getting in shape. I am 6' tall and weigh 180 lbs. I have 2 cups of Special K, with a banana, and 1% milk for breakfast. I have 2 8oz Red Bulls every morning as well. Lunch is either a salad(romaine lettuce, grilled chix, apples, corn, carrots, and egg whites with low fat raspberry vinagrette), or a turkey and american cheese panini, or burrito with grilled chicken, cheese, spanish rice. Most days it is the salad though. Dinner changes a lot, but typically a chicken based meal with one veggie and a side (potato, pasta, etc). I drink beer on the weekends.

Anyone know how to make chicken in Krups panini maker? I have a Krups PG7000 Panini maker. It came with a recipe booklet that had instructions on grilling chicken breast using the machine. I can't find my recipe book and don't know what temp setting or how long to cook. I tried to wing it the other day and I overcooked the chicken.... but not sure if too hot or too long. I think it will make nice chicken for sandwiches and salads if I can figure it out.

any foodies out there? looking for some creative solutions to difficult food service problem.? I work at a hotel, and we need to add food service for late-night arrivals. The problem is, we don't have true cooking facilities. We have a microwave, a panini grill, and could get something else if it made sense, as long as it didn't require actual pots, pans , etc. The front desk staff would be the ones responsible for preparing and plating the food, so it would have to be something "idiot " proof, since they are not food service people. We would be looking to provide about 4-5 items, some hot, some cold, and a vegetarian option. Does anyone have any good ideas? Also, it woudl be great if the food had a little shelf or freezer life, since we would not go through a huge amount of orders a night. Maybe 3-5 requests a night, sometimes more, sometimes less. I really need help with this one!
Please explain the difference....? if any, between a "panini" and a grilled cheese sandwich. They look pretty much the same to me....also, can I make one of these on my George Foreman grills?

panini question? i received a panini maker for christmas and i just made the first sandwiches...yum! however i am unclear about whether the bread is to be buttered or not. the instructions said to lightly spray the grill with oil which i did. no butter then? also, where can i find good recipes for paninis? i did buy some good spreads...pesto, olive,some good cheeses and some roasted red peppers. what other ingredients do you suggest?
Foody throwdown: How much can you talk up a PB&J sandwich? I thought we could have some fun with the market trend of using 'cuisine-speak' to fancy up basic recipes (e.g., its not a grilled cheese sandwich, its a 'Vermont Cheddar Panini') by applying it to the traditional peanut-butter and jelly sandwich. Here's a basic off-the-shelf recipe: 2 slices classic Wonder Bread 1 tbsp Skippy peanut butter 1 tbsp Welch's grape jelly Spread ingredients on one slice of bread, cover with the other slice. You can substitute your preferred ingredient for just one of the above, but try to stick to commonly available products (e.g. no 'peanut butter from the tomb of Queen Nefertiti'). So, its not a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, its a . . .?

Panini Maker Ideas?? I won a panini maker at my offices christmas party and I have NO idea what to do with it. My 2 year old HATES sandwiches and won't eat PB &J, grilled cheese or ham and cheese--which is the extent of my hot sandwich knowledge (that and blt's and balt's). Anyone have any ideas on any other sandwichs to make with it? I want to get some use out of it for the rest of the family but for my limited sandwich knowledge my griddle works just as well....
I would like to know if this is a good sandwich? (please try this sandwich before answering it) 2 pieces of good peasent bread or any other good bread 1 thick slice of tomato 5-6 Leaves of fresh or dried basil if u don't have fresh 1 Slice fresh or packaged mozzarella Then grill like a panini or with a panini grill (if u own one) or u could just put a slightly heavy pan on top of the sandwich (but not to heavy or everything will come off the sandwich). Then enjoy and tell me what u think!
