Before Using:
Cooking Features:
Remove all packaging materials and any
promotional labels or stickers from your grill.
Be sure all parts (listed under Features) of your new
appliance have been included before discarding
any packaging materials. you may want to keep the
box and packing materials for use at a later date.
Before using your VillaWare® Panini Grill for the
first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping
the base, cover and controls with a damp cloth.
Thoroughly clean cooking plates, and drip tray.
Contact Grill
Use the VillaWare Panini Grill as a contact grill to
cook burgers, boneless pieces of meat and thin cuts
of meat and vegetables.
The Contact Grill function works best when you want
to cook something in a short amount of time or
when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling.
When cooking on the contact grill, food will cook
quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food
item at the same time.

Rest the cover evenly on top of the food until it
has reached the desired cooked temperature. The
Panini Grill was designed with a unique handle and
hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the
thickness of the food – easily grill anything from a
thinly-sliced potato to a thick sirloin steak with
even results. The ribs on the grill plates combined
with the grease spout at the center of the plate
allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain
off the plates.
Note:
When cooking more than one food item at a
time, it is important that the thickness of food items is
consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.
Panini Press:
Use the VillaWare® Panini Grill as a Panini Press
to grill sandwiches, breads and quesadillas.
The word “Panini” is an Italian term for grilled
sandwich. Panini can include any combination of
ingredients such as vegetables, meat and cheese
layered between two pieces of fresh baked bread.
The sandwich is then pressed between two grill or
griddle plates to toast the bread and warm the
sandwich. We recommend using fresh baked bread
to produce the best tasting Panini.
The Panini Grill was designed with a unique handle
and hinge that allows the cover to adjust to the
thickness of the sandwich you are preparing, and
to rest there evenly. Light pressure can be applied
to the handle to press and heat the sandwich to
your liking.
Note:
When cooking more than one Panini, it
is important that the thickness of each sandwich
is consistent so the cover will close evenly on
the Panini.
open Grill:
Use the VillaWare® Panini Grill as an Open Grill to
cook burgers, steak, poultry (we do not recommend
cooking bone-in chicken, since it does not cook
evenly on an open grill), fish and vegetables.
“Open Grill” refers to using the Panini Grill with the
cover laying flat, creating a double, flat cooking
surface. In this position, the foods you are grilling will
have to be turned over for cooking.
