I'm a trained chef and recently moved into a place with a panini press. Oh my god how I love this thing. It's the ultimate tool for people who can't cook. You don't even need to do anything chef-like, just put ingredients between bread and press for four minutes. Done. It makes rivals to some of my favorite crazy-ass chef'd up meals.
Goat cheese, chicken, tomato spinach and pesto.
Just cheeses, whatever cheeses
Apple, watercress and brie, to impress.
Meatballs, sauce and mozza.
Grill a PB + J, it's a whole new level.
Hell, you can even make french toast with it.
