Cuisinart GR-11 3-in-1 Grill and Panini Press, Silver

Look no further than the Cuisinart Griddler Grill and Panini Press for succulent steaks, juicy burgers, and crispy grilled sandwiches. With upper and lower nonstick, removable grill plates, this unit provides even grilling and toasting. The integrated drip tray makes it easy to drain grease away from food for healthier cooking. Designed like professional units, its floating hinge adjusts to accommodate any thickness for perfectly grilled thin or thick panini and sandwiches. The preset temperature takes the guesswork out of cooking to ensure crisp, golden-brown results. With 'Power On' and 'Ready to Cook' indicator lights, operation is simple.

The GR-11 takes up minimal space and provides just enough surface area to cook for a couple of friends or family members. "Panini" is an Italian term for grilled sandwiches, which can include a combination of ingredients such as vegetables, meat, and cheese layered between two pieces of freshly baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill plates to toast the bread and warm the filling.

Use your Griddler Grill & Panini Press to grill sandwiches, breads, and quesadillas with your favorite ingredients. Experiment with a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. Popular breads for panini are focaccia, michette, ciabatta, and thick slices of Italian bread.

The unique handle and hinge of the Griddler Grill & Panini Press allows the cover to adjust to the thickness of the sandwich you are preparing. This allows for even toasting and heating. When cooking two or more panini, it is important to keep the thickness of all sandwiches the same so the cover will close evenly.

In addition to making panini, the Griddler Grill & Panini Press can be used as a contact grill to cook burgers, boneless meat, thin cuts of meat and vegetables. The floating hinge adjusts the cover to grill meats on both sides at once, and it can also be opened flat to grill steaks, veggies, and more. 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. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the rear of the plates allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates. The unit's brushed stainless steel housing and dishwasher-safe plates make clean-up a breeze.
