Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy the delicious taste of grilled foods all year long with this easy-to-use countertop appliance. The versatile unit functions as a grill, griddle, and panini maker thanks to its three cooking positions--fixed, float, or open flat--and three removable plates, which consist of an upper grill plate, a lower grill plate, and a lower griddle plate. As an open griddle, the appliance can cook up eggs, pancakes, and hash browns; insert the grill plates for cooking bacon, hamburgers, or fresh summer vegetables. Its floating hinge system automatically adjusts to the thickness of food for perfectly grilled panini sandwiches or thick steaks. The grill plates come with a ribbed design that helps grease drain away from food for healthier results, and all the plates provide a nonstick coating to ensure effortless food release and quick cleanup by hand or in the dishwasher. Other highlights include adjustable heat up to 450 degrees F, a lockable upper plate for heat without touching the food, a 30-minute timer, a power-on indicator and ready light, a removable drip drawer, and a storage drawer for holding an unused grill plate. Instructions and a dual-sided cleaning scraper come included. With its attractive chrome-plated housing, the 1500-watt UL-listed grill and panini maker measures approximately 13-3/4 by 13-1/2 by 7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best for cooking and clean up!, September 28, 2009

If you have not tried one of these muti-purpose portable cookers (if you have you know the speed and ease of cooking any meal is unbelieveable) look no further than this fine unit. Right out of the box you see the quality and thought that went into this product. This is a replacement for my first (different brand panini grill). Differences are unbeliveable; unlike my previous grill this unit grills to perfection, the grease from cooking goes thru the open bottom grill plates, into a removeable tray. All grids are removeable, which is a huge difference (my old unit did not have removeable grids had to clean by hand). It cooks meat, chicken, panini etc perfectly and nearly grease free.P.S.Don't throw out the direction booklet! It has over 20 Wolfgang Puck recipes in it, to use with this grill!Can't say enough.

We searched until we found what looked like the prefect multi-function panini grill. It's a great concept and obviously someone thought of all the possibilities for cooking that it could do. And the storage for the extra plates is brilliant. However, when we took it out of the box, some screws and bolts fell out. Then we noticed that the anchors holding the heating element were loose and dangling. We couldn't put them in because the back, where the bolts went, was inaccessible. A little black rubber part fell out also, and we figured out that it was one of the rubber feet on the bottom, but the other one was missing.

We thought the metal which it was made of was rather thin and flimsy, and it was apparently carelessly assembled. Also, a lot of the parts rattled, making it sound not very sturdy. We are returning it without trying it and getting a refund. But after reading the 5-star review about how well it cooks, we are considering trying another one, just to see if this one was a lemon.
