Haier HPG1400BSS Professional Panini Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this grill at our local grocery store on special.I've wanted a panini maker for a long time and researched the one's out there.Either I rejected them because of the reviews or they didn't have all the features I wanted and the price was high.

The Haier 1400BSS doesn't have all the bells and whistles I wanted (removeable plates, interchangeable plates, temp control on both sides, etc.), but it does grill evenly on both sides and makes wonderful sandwiches.For the price, this is an excellent grill.I'll use it until it dies and keep saving for a professional model.

This unit does have the floating head (top), floating hinge lock, temperature dial, power and ready to cook lights, a drip tray that attaches (great), and a cleaning tool.It DID NOT come with any recipes.

The panini grill has a slight grill incline so the fats and juices run off.It can be used for cooking meats and veggies too.It's real easy to clean.Make sure you use cooking spray before making a sandwich and clean between uses.

I find that cleaning the unit just after making a sandwich, when the grill is still hot, is the easiest.Just use a damp sponge and run it up and down the grill on both sides.Then take a wet paper towel and go over it.BE CAREFUL the plates are real hot.

I've had mine for a week now and have used it 6 out of 7 days.Some days I've used it twice.LOVE IT. Takes a bit to get use to where the temp knob needs to be but with a little practice, you'll find the right spot.I put mine 3/4 of the way and it works like a charm.Haven't tried meat or veggies yet so those might differ.

The only non-positive things I can say about the grill is I think the floating head could be hinged more centered. The instruction book could give tips and suggestions too plus some RECIPES.

Hope you get one.I'm picking some up for Christmas presents.Happy Grilling.

Miallegro 2030 Multipan Sandwich Maker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A great product. I use it every day for my grilled ham & cheese sandwich at lunchtime. I've been searching for a replacement for my old grill. One of the few with flat griddle plates (most have ridges) that I prefer. This one heats up faster and grills more quickly than my old one. A great grill at a good price.

Hamilton Beach 25450 Gourmet Panini Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can't give this machine a bad rating. This Hamilton Beach Panini Press does one thing and one thing only, but it does it very well. If you enjoy pressed/grilled sandwhiches you will love this machine. As I write this I'm eating a feta/olive/artichoke/roasted peppers on pita sandwhich hot off the panini press, and it's scrumptious. I actually bought this as a christmas gift for my mother, but I probably use it more than she does.

The machine looks good on the counter, and has a large, non stick service. It's not on a hinge so it's designed to accept even the thickest sandwhiches without squeezing all the filling out. You can even "lock" the lid down to apply constant pressure, or lock it up to maintain minimal pressure or to not make contact with the top at all. It's great for quesidillas as well. Ignore the user that says it takes too long to heat up, it takes only a couple of minutes, about the time a waffle maker would take to heat. Even cooking on the stove you need to take a few mins to heat the pan! Also ignore the comment that this machine burns the bread before heating the filling, I've never had such problems, although I do wish there was a temperature control for further versatillity. But my bread never burns... I find 2-6 min will brown the bread perfectly, from lightly browned to nice and crispy (depending on how you like it) without burning it at all. I've never burned anything on this machine. I even once used it to grill some chicken, and it did the job nicely, though it's not really designed for that.

The only down sides are that there are no frills. I've seen other models that come with nice recipe books, this one has just a few hastily thrown together recipe ideas in the instruction booklet. There's no temp control either, which is fine, but it would be nice to have some kind of control (it would be more convenient if you wanted to use it for alternative purposes. The machine gets very hot, but that's to be expected. There's no alternate "plates" or cooking surfaces for say a flat "griddle" style surface, so you'll have to settle for the striated grate style surface, which in all honestly is not a big deal at all.

This is a great machine, at a decent price. It could be better with a temp control, some extra features, and a better recipe book, but all-in-all, you can't complain. It does its job, and does it very well.
