Tips for Grilling Perfect Panini
1. Use good quality bread, sliced somewhat thicker than you
might slice it for a cold sandwich.
2. Use any combination of ingredients for the filling but
don’t make the sandwich overly complex. Three to four
ingredients is ideal for letting individual flavors shine
through.
3. Try to select one ingredient that will help bind the
sandwich together. Cheese is a good choice because as it
melts, it gets sticky. Garlic mayonnaise, olive tapenade, or
even barbecue sauce can achieve a similar effect.
4. Do not overstuff the panini or the exterior will cook before
the interior has a chance to.
5. Once assembled, brush both sides of the sandwich lightly
with olive oil.
6. Preheat your Calphalon Panini Grill on "MEDIUM" until the
"Ready" light comes on.
7. When the grill is hot, brush it lightly with olive oil. Place
the sandwich in the Panini grill and close the cover. Grill
for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
