Preparation
1. Prepare the lling you’re going to use in the panini. Fillings should be moist enough to
chew easily, by not wet enough to soak the bread.
2. Don’t use raw meat of any kind in the panini maker. All llings must be safe and t to eat
before they are used in the panini maker.
3. For bread, you can use ciabatta, focaccia, crepes, tortillas, pita, naan, baguette, or even
sliced bread.
4. Fill the bread - llings should be generous, but not over generous. If you use to much,
the lling will ooze out of the sides and ends of the panini as they cook.
5. Fetch your plastic or nylon tongs - ngers will burn, metal tongs will damage the non-
stick surfaces, nylon tongs are best.
Positioning
6. The big spring at the back of the panini maker contains the cable connecting the upper
and lower cooking plates.
7. You may be tempted to use this as a carry handle - don’t! You will eventually draw the
cable out, then the panini maker wont work.
8. Sit the panini maker on a rm level, heat resistant surface closest to a power socket.
9. Route the mains lead so it doesn’t overhang and can’t be caught accidently or tripped
over.
10. Don’t plug it in yet.
Cooking
11. Wipe the cooking plates with a piece of kitchen paper dipped in olive oil, then use
another piece to remove the excess oil. Leave just the merest suggestion of oil on the
cooking plates.
12. Don’t use low fat spreads. They may burn and damage the non-stick surface.
13. Close the lid - it’s pivoted, so it’s self levelling.
14. Plug the panini maker into the wall socket. Switch the socket on, if necessary.
15. The red‘power on’ light will come on, and will stay on as long as the panini maker is
connected to the electricity supply.
16. The green ‘ready’ light will come on when the panini maker reaches working temperature,
then cycle on and o as the thermostat maintains the temperature.
17. When the panini maker reaches operating temperature, and the green ‘ready’ light comes
on, use the handle to lift the lid.
18. Lay the panini on the lower cooking plate - use your nylon tongs.
19. Try not to touch the cooking plates. They are really hot!
20. Close the panini maker.
21. Cooking time will depending on the lling and the bread thickness. Generally, allow 2-4
minutes, or until the outside of the bread cooks golden brown.
22. Remove the cooked panini with the nylon tongs.

More?
23. To make more panini’s, wipe the cooking plates with a little oil - take care not to burn
your ngers.
24. Close the lid and wait until the green ‘ready’ light comes on.
Finished?
25. If you’ve nished, unplug the panini maker. Switch the socket o rst, if appropriate.
26. Let the panini maker cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
Variations
Bruschetta and Crostini are open sandwiches made by lightly cooking crusty bread on the
panini maker, removing the hot bread from the panini maker, then piling a savoury lling on
top of the bread.
Fillings
Use good quality Italian cheese, provolone, mozzarella, gorgonzola or fontina; try Danish
havarti and Swiss emmenthal.
Pop the cheese in the fridge to rm it up, then cut shavings from it with a potato peeler.
Layer the shavings with sun dried tomatoes, thinly sliced fresh plum or cherry tomatoes, red
onion, black and green olives, red and yellow peppers and mushrooms.
For something meatier, add paper thin slices of smoked pancetta, salami, prosciutto,
pepperoni, mortadella, coppa or carpaccio.
Alternatively, try cooked tuna or sardines with pesto or tapenade.
Care and Maintenance
Unplug the panini maker from the wall socket and let it cool down full before cleaning and
storing away. Wipe the panini maker, inside and out, with a clean damp cloth. Use a paper
towel moistened with a little cooking oil to remove stubborn stains.
Don’t put the panini maker in water or any other liquid.
Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Removing the glass panel.
You may need to remove the glass panel to clean underneath it.
Use your ngers to unscrew the screws at the corners of the glass. Do not use pliers or any
other tool. You’ll damage the nish on the screws and probably break the glass.
Remove the bre washers - don’t loose them!
Lift the glass panel, wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Replace the glass panel - try not to touch the inside. You’ll leave ngerprints.
Put the bre washers over the holes, replace the screws and tighten them nger-tight only -
do not use tools.
