Before you buy
- Check that the top plate floats or self-levels on its hinge, so it presses evenly on both thin and thick sandwiches.
- Compare plate materials, since cast iron holds heat through busy periods, aluminum heats up quickly, and coated plates clean easily but need non-scratch tools.
- Count how many sandwiches you press at once at peak, then compare cooking areas and consider a double unit with separate controls for each side.
- Look for a timer and an adjustable thermostat if different staff run the grill, so each sandwich comes out the same no matter who presses it.
Common questions
Should I choose grooved or smooth panini plates?
- Grooved plates give the striped grill marks customers expect on a panini and let fat drain away from meats. Smooth plates give an even, all-over toast and suit wraps, quesadillas, flatbreads and eggs. A mixed grill, grooved on top and smooth on the bottom, is a common compromise when one unit has to do both.
How do you clean a panini grill?
- Scrape the plates while they are still warm with the brush or scraper the manufacturer recommends, empty the grease tray, and wipe the outside once the grill has cooled. Cast iron plates are usually kept seasoned with a light coat of oil, while coated plates need non-abrasive tools. Never immerse the unit in water.
