Three Reasons Why You Should Own A Panini Maker

By Chef Ichibanda

Tired of same old soggy lunch meat sandwich? If you're like me, I'm sick of eating the same boring, square, barely passable meal. Then I found the Panini which is a delicious, crispy, healthy sandwich. There are so many reasons to get your own Panini maker and start making your own delicious creations.

Panini is actually Italian and is not a grilled sandwich in Italy. Everywhere else a Panini is grilled to delicious perfection. The word in its singular form is panino and Panini is plural. Well just continue to call it a Panini; I guess Ill just have to eat two.

A Panini press or maker is a electricity powered sandwich cooker. Its similar in design to a waffle iron in that it has two hot sides that grill the sandwich to delicious perfection. They come in several sizes too depending on your needs. If you serve many or just yourself there is a Panini maker that's just right for you.

Since you can add veggies to the sandwich, Panini makes for a great meal if youre watching the calories. Add onions, carrots, and zucchini for a nutritious treat. How does it taste so good? Well, the beauty of the panini maker or press is that by utilizing heat as well as compression it heats the sandwich through and through. The delicious juices from the meat and vegetables mix to form a succulent treat.

Great for people on the go. Since people are shorter on time now than ever before getting a great, nutritious meal in a short time is hard to come by. Panini makers can have a delicious sandwich ready in minutes. How you say? You plug in the panini press, pop in the veggies and meat into your favorite bread, brush the bread with olive oil or butter and close the press. You have your sandwich in minutes.

When you get your Panini maker home you can begin experimenting with different sandwiches. You can add interesting things like different meats, veggies, cheeses, and any filling you can think of. Also try different types of bread with sourdough and whole grains being great choices. If you like sweet things or want to make a dessert then the panini maker will do the trick. Just add fruit or other sweet filling and you'll create a crispy after dinner treat. - 30289
