A panini grill is a must have kitchen appliance for everyone. Whether you live in a house or a small apt. Why even a college dorm room is a great place for a panini maker. Not only can you make fantastic panini sandwiches with a panini grill, you can also use it as an indoor electric grill.
Using a panini grill isn't limited to heating up the sandwich itself, you can also grill the ingredients before you assemble the sandwich. How about making something with grilled onions? Making sausage and pepper sandwiches? Both the sausage and the peppers can be cooked on a panini grill.
There's a few things to remember when you're using your panini press as an indoor electric grill. Number one is the grease. If you're cooking a fatty meat, it's going to create drippings. Make sure that you have something to catch the grease with. The George Foreman Grill which makes terrific panini sandwiches is slopped and comes with a dish to catch the drippings. Most well made panini grills will come with something similar.
Another important thing to remember is that you shouldn't cook raw meat with other ingredients. Say you're making a grilled chicken panini with peppers and onions. You should never have the raw chicken on the grill at the same time as the raw vegetables. Cook them separately to avoid salmonella issues. But this is a good tip not only for indoor electric grills but for anything that you're cooking on.
Some panini grills today even come with interchangeable grilling plates. If you have one like this then why not slap the flat grilling plates on there and cook up some breakfast. Eggs, bacon and pancakes can all be cooked on a flat grill. Sometimes a panini grill will even come with waffle grilling plates. Keep this in mind when choosing a panini maker.
If you're looking to save money by cutting back on expensive lunches, then you need to look into getting a panini grill. Not only does it make outstanding panini sandwiches with traditional sandwich ingredients, you can also use it as an indoor electric grill to turn your leftovers into works of art.
