I've been sampling panini options in all my fave restaurants to cut down on bread consumptions, so I started looking around for an at home panini press. I checked the internet reviews, the 鶹 reviews and local prices and availability. This press was $25 less on 鶹 than in any local store. This size is perfect for tortilla fold over sammies and regular size slices. The heat is easily adjustable, but I go with a mid-range setting for consistent heat without getting the outside too dark. I see a variety of pressed snacks in our future.
