The Deni Panini Maker is a specialty appliance designed for creating authentic grilled panini sandwiches. The Panini Maker can also be used as an indoor grill, great for cooking meats, chicken, fish or vegetables. Fat is drained away from your food while cooking, leaving your food moist and tender. The Deni Panini Maker & Health Grill features a floating hinge system that ensures even contact with the surface of the sandwich, so your panini is crispy on the outside, with gently cooked ingredients in between. And with heating elements on both sides of the grill, you never have to worry about flipping over your food. The Non-stick grill surface simplifies the clean-up portion of your meal, and the classic chrome exterior looks great in any kitchen.
