Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Naturally this makes splendid panini, toasting the bread and melting the cheese inside to perfection. But consider the other possibilities, burgers, swordfish steaks, bratwurst, veggies and chicken, to name a few! Unwanted fat and liquids drain into an external cup while your food gets cooked evenly, both sides simultaneously, for quick and tasty results. You'll love the sturdy feel of the restaurant-style handle, and the ease of clean up afforded by the non-stick surface.

Amazon.com Review:
This commercial-style panini grill is the only one that makes restaurant-quality pressed sandwiches and also grills meats for healthy, low-fat dinners. The Uno panini grill has a large 11-by-9-inch grilling surface that can press about four large panini sandwiches made on the traditional Italian foccacia or ciabatta bread, sear four boneless chicken breasts, or grill four servings of vegetables. The cooking surface heats up quickly and stays hot because of its cast aluminum construction and because the heating element is embedded directly beneath the grill top and bottom. For safety, a red light comes on when the appliance is plugged in and remains on for the duration of your cooking time. An adjustable control offers seven different cooking temperatures and a green light illuminates when the appliance has reached the desired heat.

The plastic handle stays cool during cooking and pushes straight down, as on a professional panini grill. The floating top adjusts to any thickness of sandwich so you can feel free to stuff your paninis full of meats, cheeses, and veggies. The ribbed grill plate imprints the typical marks onto meats or bread and, for healthier cooking, drains any fats from meats into the grooves and out of a side spout to a waiting grease tray. A high-quality nonstick coating on the cooking plates ensures that food lifts off easily and that the Uno panini grill is easy to clean.

While the high-polish aluminum exterior on this appliance is beautiful and durable, it also heats up to the same temperature as the grill’s interior. The plastic-coated handle offers some protection from the heat, but cooks still must exercise caution to prevent burns from the lid or sides of the handle. The Uno panini grill stands upright for storage but is still fairly large and heavy so cooks will want to ensure that they have adequate space for it.This product is covered by VillaWare under a full one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Avoid this Villaware panini grill
Had this for a year or two and it stopped working completely. There is NO customer support from the manufacturer. Worked great til it died, but should not have died so soon. Would not buy again.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - panni grill
after doing some research on the available grills, I settled for this.And after having used it for a while It is an amazing peice of instrument, easy to work with, hardy, easy to clean and panni's on a daily basis. could not ask for more!!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Heavy and a challenge for storage GREAT
Great baker - we love the Panini we get from it - but storage is a challenge. It is large which means we get several sandwiches at a time but takes significant space in cabinet. Sandwiches are just like we had in Italy - great to put together ahead of time for parties and then just bake as needed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very professional, perfect everytime.
I love to turn all ordinary sandwiches into panini sandwiches. The pros to this one are: 1. Compact enough that I can store in pull out cabinetry below countertops, and lightweight enough to pull out every time I want to use it. 2. The grill tops are easy to clean by wiping down with damp sponge; I never use to cook raw meats (use a grill or George Foreman press for that). 3. The double hinge means my sandwiches are evenly pressed from front to back and they never split from being pressed down ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Quick Cooking
Order this panini press and then find a good deli or specialty grocery and stock up on asiago, parmasean, fontina cheeses; mortadella, proscuitto, salami meats; some pesto, olive tapinade, a little fresh baby arugala and a loaf of sliced artisan bread and when the grill arrives you can have great food on the table in less than 15 minutes. We like to make three or four combinations and then cut them in half to share the multiple flavors. Finish with some Nutella spread on crust trimmed bread and you ... Read More
