Hamilton Beach Panini Press Sandwich Maker & Electric Indoor Grill, 10" x 8" Nonstick Grill Plates, Chrome

Really easy! Started on grilled cheese on wheat bead as a novice. Worked up to ham, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, and horseradish sauce on Italian rolls. All came out great! This Panini Maker gets hot fast. Less than three minutes. The grilled cheese took three minutes to cook. The ham and cheese was thick like a Dagwood. That took nine minutes. Just peek and if the cheese is starting to melt onto the bottom grill, pull the plug. Clean up with a moist wash cloth is easy. Tip-if the recipe calls for butter on the outside of the bread/roll, don't do it. The teflon on the grills makes for no sticking. Though a plastic spatula help to get the Panini out. So, if you want, some extra virgin olive oil inside the bread/roll works fine. Small for storage also. All in all, buy one, you won't regret it. Ideal for two people as it makes two Panini's at a time. Plus, the price is right. P.S. Made a sliced steak, romaine lettuce, heirloom tomato and extra virgin olive oil on wheat bread Panini for my adult son to take to his apartment for lunch tomorrow. Three minutes to cook. He'll just microwave it and let me know how that works out.

using the panini press puts a new meaning of a sandwich. It is fast to make and easy clean up. After using this can't just eat a sandwich again without putting on the Panini press. This is like getting a restaurant specialty sandwich. I liked the one we got for Christmas so much that I went out and got my daughter one too. My husband is so happy now cause he gets his reuben sandwich all the time now.
