THE GRIDDLER® FIVE DOES IT ALL The word panini is Italian for grilled sandwiches. Panini can include any combination of ingredients, such as vegetables, meat and cheese layered between two pieces of fresh-baked bread. The sandwich is then pressed between two grill or griddle plates to toast the bread and warm the sandwich. Experiment to make a variety of savory or sweet sandwiches for any meal. We recommend using fresh-baked bread to produce the best-tasting panini.
