With the Hamilton Beach® Panini Press & Indoor Grill, you will easily make a variety of hot pressed sandwiches, from grilled cheese and classic Reuben sandwiches to paninis and Mexican tortas. The cafe-style floating hinged lid evenly presses food of various thicknesses. The sandwich maker doubles as a grill for cooking steaks, burgers, chicken, vegetables, and fruits to perfection. It's great for keto or paleo diets. With a total of 95 square inches of nonstick cooking surface on top and bottom grill plates, most meals will cook in 10 minutes or less because both sides cook at the same time. Perfect for quick lunches, snacks, or grilling foods for dinner. You'll enjoy restaurant-quality foods at home using your own fresh ingredients at a fraction of the cost of eating out. The durable, PFAS-free ceramic nonstick ceramic plates are simple to wipe clean or use the included spatula/scraper. The slide-out drip tray catches grease and keeps mess off the countertop. It goes in the dishwasher for easy cleanup. A lid latch keeps the sandwich maker shut between uses and makes it easy to store either flat or upright. It is simple to use with power and preheat lights to eliminate guesswork.
