Guide to Sandwich Grills

view recommended products

Kinds of Sandwich Grills include the following:

Stovetop sandwich grills

• Stovetop Sandwich Grills are heated using the burners on stovetop ranges.
• They consist of a cast iron skillet and a lid that presses down on the sandwich.
• They are available in 10- to 12-inch units, which can hold two sandwiches or one sandwich and a side dish.

• Fireside Sandwich Grills are designed for direct heating over hearths or campfires.
• They usually have long insulated handles to maintain a safe distance between the user and the fire.
• They offer limited temperature control and take longer to heat up.

• Electric Sandwich Grills are powered from the mains socket and use heating coils to heat the plates.
• They are usually compact and portable, but they only hold standard bread slices.
• Some models can seal the slices together to keep the contents from spilling.

• Electric Panini Grills look like electric sandwich grills, except for a larger floating lid for holding thicker breads like panini, ciabatta, and focaccia.
• They can also be used to grill meat, vegetables, and side dishes.
• They are generally more expensive than electric sandwich grills, but they are more versatile.

Grill surface: Choose a sandwich grill with a nonstick grilling surface for easier cleaning and maintenance. If you want to grill meat and fatty foods, look for a slanted tray so that the grease can drain off.

Controls: Choose a sandwich grill with preset times for light, medium, and dark toasts. Look for one with automatic timers to prevent burning.
