Breadman Panini Maker TR456

Date Published: 6/19/08

Attractively styled with a charcoal gray lid, black handle, and die-cast aluminum trim, the Breadman Panini Maker serves up thick or thin toasted Panini sandwiches in minutes. This unit has a 10x12-inch nonstick cooking surface with 1/4-inch ridges that sear the bread as it cooks your sandwiches. The heavy weighted lid has a floating hinge to accommodate hearty overstuffed sandwiches as well as thinner grilled cheese.

Green and red indicator lights signal that the unit is operating and when the correct preheated temperature has been reached. There is only one temperature so there's no dial or probe to worry about. Just plug it in and it starts heating. For best results, you should brush the outside slices of bread with a little oil or butter. Cooking sprays are not recommended. The top lid will adjust automatically to the proper height, depending on the thickness of your sandwich.

The sturdy single-lever metal arm raises and lowers the plate easily and will remain in the upright position if fully opened. Other features include sturdy rubber feet for slip-free use, cool-touch handle grip, cord storage, and a securing latch that keeps the grill closed for storage.
