Ill give you a few reasons why owning a Panini maker will be a great investment not only for the great sandwiches it will produce but for your health too.

First lets talk about the origins of the name Panini. Panini is actually Italian and is not necessarily grilled in Italy. Everywhere else a Panini sandwich is grilled. In Italian the word Panino is the singular version and Panini is the plural from of the word. But I like Panini!

Panini maker or press is what you call the double sided heated grill that you smash the sandwich between to cook it. They come in all sizes and can cook from 2 to several Paninis at once. Take a look at a few of them and then decide the type and amount of money you're willing to spend on one. Here's a few reasons to make Panini at home:

If you're on a diet or just like to eat healthy than paninis make for a perfect meal. Use whole grain bread, turkey, onions, carrots, and yellow squash for a healthy meal. The great thing is the Panini press will heat up the sandwich and allow all the flavors to mix together. The succulent juices will combine to make a delicious treat.

Once you get your own Panini maker, you can make a delicious sandwich in minutes. So getting that delicious bistro taste it doesn't have to take long at all. So how can you get that bistro taste so quick? All you have to do is plug in your panini press to warm it up. Then stuff the bread with the fillings of your choice, brush on some butter and close the press. You'll have that delicious bistro taste in minutes, guaranteed.

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. - 30241
