This little, low-tech sandwich griller makes excellent panini and "toasted" sandwiches of all kinds, plus grills vegetables.Just put in the food, some butter or oil, close the two sides together and cook right over the burner on your stove.
This worked great on my stove's gas burner.The instructions say that it will work with electric burners too, and also over charcoal and gas outdoor grills. I found it very easy to clean because it has a non-stick surface and its modest size makes it easy to store.The price is very good, especially when compared to cumbersome, electric sandwich makers.
There is one functional problem that keeps me from awarding this product five stars, and that is the hinge mechanism that connects the two sides of the grill.In order to make it easy to clean, the sides slip apart easily.The dark side of this convenience is that the sides tend to slide apart too easily.They frequently came apart during cooking, when I turned the closed press over to grill the opposite side of my food.This was a minor hassle, but not enough of a problem to prevent me from recommending this very handy kitchen gadget.

i kept them even though it was quite big enough so i inserted them into my old ones and they work this way.a great price as well.
I love the other reviewer's idea of using these to pull pork, but I bought the bear paws so that I could finally pick up and move large, roasted objects securely, from off of the flames, or just out of the roasting pan--and they do a fantastic job for both. Folks, this is a very simple item that will make a very simple cooking task MUCH friendlier to perform. There's not a lot to say about a pair of claws you use to pick up hot stuff, except: Where have they been all my life?
I received this oven in December and since then I've cooked a 13-lb. stuffed turkey, salmon fillets, a 4-lb. chicken, a casserole of stuffing, a lemon pie, peanut butter cookies, fajita vegetables, sliced sweet potatoes, and a frozen pizza.It took some trial and error but I think this will work well for me.What I like most about it is its pristine appearance and how easily it cleans up after use and then stores away out of sight.I like the fact that the timer alerts me when it's through cooking and I can watch the progress myself through the clear plastic container.I like that it requires no preheating and doesn't heat up the kitchen.I like that I can pause and interrupt the cooking to adjust the dish or add sauce or seasoning and then reset it to a new cooking time or temperature. I'm even becoming competent at using it to reheat coffee or my cold dinner. It's important to keep the food the correct distance from the heat source, or utilize aluminum foil to slow down the browning process or to allow food to steam through.I think this is a keeper for me as I continue to experiment with it.
I wish I could have actually gotten the item I paid for.I never did.
we bought this griddle to replace another one we have just used up.The old one kept burning our food, so it was time to replace it.So far, this one is working greatly, cooking everything evenly and quickly.We are very careful not to use metal utensils on it to ensure not scratching the surface.Hopefully we will get a lot of use out of this one, and the Tilt n Drain feature is cool, except the hole that the oil drains into could be a bit larger.
Recently I had brought home a pork loin.I had done an elaborate rub and had hoped to grill it outside on the grill.However, my sister in law forgot to bring the grill and I was left in the lurch.What to do?I plugged my panini grill in and hammered the porkloin to the size of the grill.Five minutes later I was eating the most delicious pork loin I had ever had.It helped to have a digital thermometer to take the meat off at just the right moment.Now I am cooking all kinds of meat in this bad boy.Tonight it was chicken breasts.A little olive oil, salt and pepper, minutes later unbelievably delicious.
