Editorial Review
DeLonghi combines the cooking trends of today with the retro looks of another era with their retro panini maker. Gleaming stainless with softly rounded edges are handsomely paired with easy-to-clean, nonstick cooking plates that provide two-sided grilling of these delightfully crunchy sandwiches. The wattage is high so cooking time is fast; an adjustable thermostat lets you customize your cooking - a lower temperature so every bit of cheese melts and oozes or higher for a quick crisp of the bread. The hinged door adjusts in height to accommodate thin slices of sourdough or thick squares of focaccia. And for the health-conscious, little or no oils are absorbed thanks to the cooking plates that slant forward so any butter drains into the built-in channels. Other features include power-on and ready lights and a wrap-around cord. When not in use, the unit fastens shut and stands upright for convenient storage - though as delicious as these sandwiches are, this panini maker may very well end up a permanent fixture on your kitchen countertop, used morning, noon and for late night snacks.

Very nice panini press

2007-04-18
It works perfectly well. I have two minor complaints. One is that there is no real on/off switch. If you have it plugged in, and the heat dial at minimum, it still heats. That's important to be aware of. It's not your ordinary toaster, which doesn't do anything unless you push down the slider. Second problem is MUCH less important. The clip that's supposed to hold the top and bottom together in storage is totally worthless. Just don't depend on it.
That being said, it works very nicely as a panini press. The lid is flexible, and has a heat proof spot where you can tilt it to accomodate the thickness of your panini. The heat dial is generally accurate, so if you follow your instincts or the little cookbook, things turn out well. It's easy to clean up. I don't have enough room on the counter to let it out, but like most DeLonghi stuff, the style is very nice.
