I had a hankering for a panini the other day. I'm not talking about a grilled sandwich but a pressed sandwich with golden-brown ripples of crunchy texture. Sweet or savory, a panini press takes an ordinary sandwich and turns it into a melty masterpiece.
The problem was, I didn't have a panini maker. And then a lightbulb went off. What if I could use my waffle maker to toast up my ordinary sandwich?
I powered up my waffle maker on the highest setting (an engagement gift from a lovely Belgian woman- get it?) and put my sandwich together. No butter required on a panini (another plus!), the non-stick surface doesn't need it.
I gave the sandwich a good squish and let it cook until the built in timer went off. After about three minutes, I had this golden-brown beauty waiting for me.
What kind of panini will you toast up? I see Nutella and strawberries in my future...

Mmmm looks great!
I love clever solutions to anything and especially making kitchen wares multitask! In addition to this solution "working" I bet for some the waffle pattern even makes the sandwich taste better!

When we go through the commercial waffler, it is completely amicable in providing the state-of-the art- services within the food industry. This incorporates all the basic elements of the ordinary maker along with the aspects of the modern technological one. Find more at this website.
