what is a panni press?

Jorge "Steamed Heat" Panni was one of the greatest luchadores on the traveling circuit in the early 1920s. His trademarked move, "The Panni Press," never failed to fall an opponent. Panni would swiftly maneuver to gain position on his rivals. Once their backs were to him, he would line his body against theirs; clutching them very closely. Then, using his great strength, superior flexibility and overwhelming size, he would begin to bend his body; essentially folding his opponent in half at the waist, leaving them breathless, dazed, covered in sweat and embarrassed. Once they were incapacitated, Panni would "garnish" his rivals, finishing them off with a move he called "the pickle spear;" much to the delight of the crowd.

I have never used it for roti but I don't see why you couldn't. It is an extremely sturdy and well-made press.

Yes you can use for panini but the groves are deeper than a sandwich press so you don't want to press too hard.

Quesadilla makers are quite inexpensive in my experience. I've owned several in the past few decades. I'm not sure you're going to find a machine that does both paninis and quesadillas.

I suppose you could use it as a press, but it is designed to press-and-cook in one, simple step. Very nice machine. There's a little learning curve to get the right texture dough balls, but after that, it's a lovely result.

Not sure if its stainless steel. Pressing handle is not steady at all. The roti came out uneven and never puffed up. So I ended up returning it.Hope this helps!

It's all stainless, threaded metal on metal. No plastic. No glue. The clearance fit between the screen/plunger and cylinder is perfect, so no "stalls" as you press down, unlike some standard glass presses.

I agree with Julia's response. It is great for what it was intended to be used for- a panini.

This is a 5 station progressive press. I deprimed with the press and hand load the primers since I just haven't setup the primer feeder yet. I prefer to inspect my cases and hand prime while watching tv!

The Panini press can be used as a contact grill. The lid opens to a 90* angle so you only have the bottom surface to use for grilling. The lid does not lay flat, which would have given double the surface. The only caveat to grilling with the lid up is that the lid gets hot, so safety is a concern. I hope this helps.

one temperature setting, 120 watts, I love this panini press and have used it to grill steaks, chicken, sandwiches etc. It cleans up very easily. I highly recommend this Cuisinart!

This is a very heavy press, and since purchasing it, I have used it for making paninis AND as a bacon press. It's perfect for that use. Also, it's very easy to clean. Very satisfied with this purchase and recommend it. Hope this helps.

Stainless steel mesh just like my Bodum small press. I use this one when I want more than a single cup....it works great.

Good question. I used the George Forman grill ( which I have had for years) as a Panini Press . It works fine except that it doesn't have a floating hinge, so you can get angled sandwiches on thick bread. Some of the panini makers have adjustable hinges, some have floating ones, but all have some sort of hinge adjustment. The Forman Grill (at least the one I had) didn't. But you can pretty much use them interchangably. Watch for drip trays on some (particularly if you want to use them like a grill for chicken or things that might drip). But I like the convenience and clean-ability of the panini presses that I have now. So I'm going to stay with the press rather than the grill. Hope this helps. Good question.

I have no idea. The press I have is very much in tact and I have used it quite a bit. I would go back to the company who sold it through Amazon and depending on when you purchased it, maybe they would consider a replacement or repair. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
