HINTS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Always preheat the Panini Maker before each use.
• Have all ingredients at hand before preparing panini.
• A wide variety of breads may be used, such as whole wheat, fruit breads, and
white bread.
• With the Panini Maker’s Non-Stick Grilling Plates, it is not necessary to
butter the outside of the bread. However, to encourage even browning of the
bread, spreading a small amount of butter or margarine is recommended.
NOTE: The Panini Maker is coated with a non-stick surface. Do not use non-
stick sprays as they can cause build-up on the Cooking Plates. Use cooking
oil instead.
• When using soft or liquid fillings, use thicker-sliced breads. Bread can be
slightly toasted before filling is added.
• Most fresh fruits release juice when heated. It is preferable to used canned
fruit; drain and pat fruit dry with a clean paper towel.
• Avoid using processed cheeses, as they tend to “run” under high temperatures.
• A teaspoon of sugar sprinkled on the buttered side makes grilled panini
crispier and adds flavor when using sweet fillings. Prepare delicious panini
desserts with custard or cream.
• Remember that whole grain and sweet breads will grill quicker than
white breads.
• After you have removed finished panini, close the Lid to retain heat while
assembling more sandwiches.
• Wearing oven mitts, use a soft, absorbent paper towel to wipe the Grilling
Plates clean after each use to avoid food contamination.
