Cheap panini maker

[debbie in seattle]

My husband and I enjoy panini's and I was thinking on getting a panini maker. I'm not one to buy a lot of 'gadgets' though. Was at WallyWorld and found a 'grill' like thing (think George Foreman) for the whopping price of $9.93. It's great! Compact, melts what I want it to melt and puts lines in the bread. If it stops working, not out that much $$$. So far, I've mastered ham and cheese with ciabatta bread.

Sounds good Debbie, I bet yours is yummy! My husband's made us a couple of paninis in the past with so gadgets, didn't pay attention to how he made them but they were good, he put super thin slices of onion on them.

I have one of these grills, the medium size one, and I use it for grilling chicken breast, pork chops, etc. Works great, cooks them quickly and evenly. I use it all the time and have had this one for 3 years or so. I especially like it because it drains the fat out -- fat is a big problem for my digestion. I've also grilled zucchini and other veggies
and the come out very nicely.
