This is by far one of my favorite products ever. Not only do I use it for sandwiches etc, but for bacon? The easiest, cleanest and nicely shaped bacon pieces. I toss what i need on there, get the eggs going and everything is ready and perfect when I plate up breakfast. Love it. I probably use this at least once a day.

so easy to use ! totally addicted to paninis !

I love this product. The things you can make with this is great. I love the grill plate. Heats up fast and cleans up easy. Wonderful for grilled cheese and pizza sandwiches. It's the best!

I am an old fashion..cook on the stove type of person. I actually received a panini press as a gift. My first notion is what am I going to do with this thing and just another appliance taking up space. Then one Sunday I decided to start playing around in it. I discovered that I could make grilled cheese in a matter of seconds and no dirty pans. I made quesadillas like pronto! I love it. Definitely dont be affraid to try something to make your life alittle simpler.

I love my Panini Press. This does an awesome job on everything from grilled cheese, to patty melts, to panini's. It cooks very quickly so I can have my sandwiches ready in no time. Clean up is a breeze. I highly recommend this to anyone considering it.

I don't have a Panini Press yet but my daughter and I are both dying to have one! She eats Paninis every day at high school and dreams of the day that we can get one! I can only imagine the amazing creations we'd put together with one of these!

I love this panini press. I can turn sandwiches into "fancy sandwiches" that my kids won't complain about eating for supper. It is also great for doing quesadillas, pressed burritos, and grilled chicken breast is amazing on here! The plates are super easy to clean and take on and off the machine. It doesn't take up much room either which is great. Lots of times kitchen gadgets look cool but storing them is such a hassle that you don't want to mess with it. My kids love grilled cheese on here. My favorite is provolone, tomato slices and fresh basil---yum!

I bought the Cuisinart GR-1 Panini & sandwich Press because our household loves paninis, but lots of buttery bread and melted cheese can only be consumed so often, so I began experimenting with the press and it turns out that you really can use it for endless combinations of food items! I enjoy that it is very user-friendly, has enough space to make 2 sandwiches at a time, is extremely easy to clean; the non-stick surface is wonderful! This press gets hot quick and cooks very evenly. To store this appliance, you can lock the lid (another great feature when cooking!) and stand it upright. I shopped around for this item and it is a bit on the pricey side, but if you're in the market for a panini press, then this is top-quality!

I have to agree that this panini press is fantastic. It's got to be one of my favorite kitchen appliances for sure. I use it a minimum of 4 times a week, most often more. It heats up really fast, takes only three to four minutes to toast evenly, and is super easy to clean up. The trays are reversable, so you can gril on one side and have flat griddles on the other side. They pop right off and can be tossed in the dishwasher for cleaning. You can lay the trays open flat and use the griddle side to make bacon and eggs, pancakes, etc. Flip the trays over and cook hamburgers, steaks, etc. Close the top and you have a press. It's expensive, but I highly recommend it!!!

This is one of the most used appliances in my kitchen. My kids love for me to make hot ham and cheese sandwiches.

I love the panini press. I am a lover of sandwiches. It evenly toast and does not take that long to cook just a few minutes. I love to take Tyson Grilled chicken strips with some cheese and toast it. This one of my daiughters favorite sandwhiches. I turned my parents onto the sandwhich maker. My mom is often alone while my dad works n she loves to make things on the press. I would reccomend this product to any one plus Cuisinart is quality.

You may call it a Panini Press, but I bought it as the Griddler. As a family eating a heart healthy diet, buttered bread is not something we frequently consume; however, grilled chicken is! My favorite feature is the dishwasher-safe, removable grill plates; you couldn't ask for easier cleanup. And the non-stick surface seems very durable...no chipping or flaking. I've enjoyed reading these reviews for more creative ideas on ways to use this amazing kitchen appliance.

I bought this after someone at my school made lunch for everyone on one. Love the taste and ease of making a panini. I take this with me to out cabin and even have used it on our boat. As long as I can find a plug, I'm good to go. The non-stick finish is easy to clean and on hot summer day's I'm not heating up the kitchen when I'm making dinner.

This is a literal lifesaver! Not only does it help you fix a quick dinner when you come home exhausted from a day at work, but it's good for your health. I rarely fry things in oil, which is heart healthy and making a vegetable panini with fresh ingredients is both good for you and heart healthy as well. From sweet breakfast paninis such as fresh ricotta cheese with berries in it, to dinner with vegetables & chicken, and even a fish panini with spinach in it, I couldn't do without it. It also makes a great pizza panini with any fillings you might like in addition to the sauce & cheese.It keeps you from having lots of pans to clean up which is a definite benefit. The greatest!

I love this, so many different sandwiches we can do. Have a family of four wish it was a little bigger, it just does two sandwiches, so someone has to wait, but I love it. It's quick, easy to use and cleans up easy.
