I almost bought one that cost twice as much & am so glad I didn't because I can't imagine it being better than this. It is super easy to clean and nice & heavy. This grill is a big hit with my family and my kids have turned 'panini' into a verb, so when they ask for a sandwich they always say "panini it please".
For someone who opts not to have a food processor because of limited space, I asked for this item for christmas in 2008. Let me clarify, in deference to other reviewers, that it is a "SPECIALTY ITEM". It's purpose is making paninis, and when used per instructions it does a tremendous job with minimal clean up and great results. I use it weekly with any leftover meats, cheeses and vegetables, even stale breads.
Not only is this grill a great panini sandwich maker, it also can be used like the George Foreman grill....to do chicken and other meats. In fact the George Forman Grill is tiny compared to this so we put it in the yard sale stuff.
I LOVE to cook! ... and the Delonghi Retro Panini Grill is a wonderful new addition to my kitchen! It is very well made, cleans with relative ease, looks great with my stainless appliances, but most importantly works so well to make Panini that are deliziosa!
I couldn't be happier with my panini grill. It makes excellent sandwiches and clean-up is easy.
You should unplug your toaster as well. For the woman who said her insurance adjuster told her it's bad to unplug/plug, sorry but you should file a complaint with your insurance company about that adjuster so people aren't in harms way from their bad advice. This is a great panini press. It works perfectly.
I purchased the Retro Panini Grill as a Christmas gift for my husband. This is a sturdy, well made grill for a great price.
Unlike just toasting a sandwich, the panini grill heats the entire sandwich, straight through to the middle. The juices from the meat (if you use meat in your sandwich) are pressed into the bread and flavor the entire sandwich.
Panini Maker is excellent in looks as well as proformance, the only thing is it don't have a on-off switch. You have to un plug unit to turn off.
absolutely love the panini grill, use it a lot, easy to use, easy to clean and much fun to experiment with!
