Hamilton Beach Panini Press and Sandwich Maker Review

When you plug in the unit, the red light illuminates. Close the cover and heat for 6 minutes. The green light illuminates when the grill is ready to use. The cover is hot so use an oven mitt. All you do is put your food on the bottom and close the cover. The surface measures 10 inches by 8 inches. You should be able to fit 2 or 3 sandwiches depending on the size of your bread.

This bread is the standard loaf bread in a bag. Butter one side of each piece. Put the buttered side down on a plate. I’m using three slices of cheddar. Thinly sliced tomato and red onion. Other slice of bread with the buttered side on top. Put the sandwich on the grill. Close the cover. It should be done in 2 to 3 minutes.

For the wrap, this is a large burrito wrap. Green bell peppers, red bell peppers, onions, black beans, cheese and cilantro. You can fold it over for a quesadilla or wrap it like this, tucking in the sides.

For the pizza, put the crust on the grill, close and cook for 2 minutes. Then top the crust with sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you want. Bring the cover down and lock the hinge so the cover is above the pizza, not touching it. Cook until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

After you’re finished using the unit, unplug and let it cool. To clean, wipe the surface with a paper towel. If there’s a lot of stuff stuck on, it’ll be easier to wipe down when the surface is a little warm. Use a damp sponge with soap to clean and again with a clean cloth. Since the surface is non-stick, don’t use any abrasive sponge or cleaner. The outside can be wiped down with a damp cloth.

I love how thorough your reviews are every time.

This video reminded me that I have been watching this channel for 10 years. The first video I saw Anita review a product was for the Cusinart Griddler. 10 years ago.

I bought it for my mom. She still uses it.

The only thing I dislike about this is all this food she makes and it's probably gone to waste sampling everything and she's probably going to be 400 lb I bought one of these add a thrift store and I make sandwiches all the time now with it I slice up ham you can buy the big ham that's like in Walmart in Canada it's like 17 bucks used to be 10:00 inflation and you throw some mayonnaise on it put some vegetable oil on each side outside part that goes against the grill on the top and the bottom put some cheese and stuff in it tomato lettuce mayonnaise Caesar salad dressing not too much press it down for about 2 to 3 minutes can you get amazing sandwich I do this daily I absolutely love the machine. Remember the top is boiling hot you can burn your skin so when they say use a oven mitt they're not kidding but a fantastic quick sandwich making unit my deep fryer and make the fries got myself a lunch or a late night snack or a light dinner . This unit pays for itself over and over basically it's the price of lunch and dinner at McDonald's in one day Canadian that is. So in the end you have something to show for it. As you can use it over and over and over again the great little machine.
