Household / Small Appliances / Perfect Panini's in minutes!

I love Panini's, so the thought of creating my own for my family was exciting!  I read reviews online and decided that I would get the Hamilton Beach model that Target had on sale. It was well rated.

I like the fact that I can store it upright on it's side. This saves space in my cabinets. It also can make 4 sandwiches at once, one for each of us! 

I bought some fresh Italian bread from the deli, some deli meat, cheese, and bacon and a spray bottle of Olive oil.  I preheated the press as instructed and assembled the sandwiches, spraying the outside of each slice with the Olive Oil.  After closing the lid, it only took 2-3 minutes to have perfect, crisp, warm Panini's!  We all loved them.  I continued to try different sandwich combinations, even veggie sandwiches.  Sometimes I sprinkle bread dipping seasonings on the olive oil side of the sandwich. I have also used tortilla's and flat breads in the machine.  I get perfect pressed Panini's each time. 

The instruction booklet only contains a few simple recipes, but my mind has created so many more. My children think I could open a shop with my creations!  I have premade Panini's and sent them to school with the children and work with my husband, and they have enjoyed them cold too.  This purchase was well worth the $30.
