How to Use a Panini Press With Great Results

1. Preheat the panini press.

- Preheating ensures even cooking and quick sealing.

2. Prepare the ingredients:

- Use quality sliced bread, cheese, and fillings.

- Spread butter or mayonnaise on the outside facing the press.

3. Layer ingredients:

- Start with one slice of bread, add toppings or fillings and finish with another bread slice.

4. Close the panini press:

- Lock the press so that the top plate touches the filling/toppings slightly.

- Don't overfill!

5. Cook:

- Cook time will depend on the fillings, usually 3-5 minutes.

6. Check progress:

- Open the press and slightly peek at the panini to ensure it's toasted to your liking.

7. Serve immediately:

- Enjoy the warm, crispy panini straight out of the press.
