The ProPress Panini Maker has a nonstick surface that is easy to clean and an external cup for any fat to drain into, making for healthier meals!
A panini is a grilled Italian sandwich filled with vegetables, meats, and cheeses. We love how the panini maker grills both sides of the sandwich to perfection, melting the cheese and warming the meat. The juices of both combine to make the ultimate sandwich ... there''s no denying Italians really know what they''re doing when it comes to food!
One of our favorite things is creating new panini combinations;It''s so much fun to share these delicious sandwiches with friends and watch as they reach for more.

tropicalports: ReviewThis commercial-style panini grill is the only one that makes restaurant-quality pressed sandwiches and also grills meats for healthy, low-fat dinners. The Uno panini grill has a large 11-by-9-inch grilling surface that can press about four large panini sandwiches made on the traditional Italian foccacia or ciabatta bread, sear four boneless chicken breasts, or grill four servings of vegetables. The cooking surface heats up quickly and stays hot because of its cast aluminum construction and because the heating element is embedded directly beneath the grill top and bottom. For safety, a red light comes on when the appliance is plugged in and remains on for the duration of your cooking time. An adjustable control offers seven different cooking temperatures and a green light illuminates when the appliance has reached the desired heat.
The plastic handle stays cool during cooking and pushes straight down, as on a professional panini grill. The floating top adjusts to any thickness of sandwich so you can feel free to stuff your paninis full of meats, cheeses, and veggies. The ribbed grill plate imprints the typical marks onto meats or bread and, for healthier cooking, drains any fats from meats into the grooves and out of a side spout to a waiting grease tray. A high-quality nonstick coating on the cooking plates ensures that food lifts off easily and that the Uno panini grill is easy to clean.
While the high-polish aluminum exterior on this appliance is beautiful and durable, it also heats up to the same temperature as the grill’s interior. The plastic-coated handle offers some protection from the heat, but cooks still must exercise caution to prevent burns from the lid or sides of the handle. The Uno panini grill stands upright for storage but is still fairly large and heavy so cooks will want to ensure that they have adequate space for it.This product is covered by VillaWare under a fullone-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
Heavy and a challenge for storage GREAT Great baker - we love the Panini we get from it - but storage is a challenge. It is large which means we get several sandwiches at a time but takes significant space in cabinet. Sandwiches are just like we had in Italy - great to put together ahead of time for parties and then just bake as needed.
