Cooking Modes
Contact Grill
This convenient tabletop grill can be used as a Contract Grill for grilling boneless pieces of meat, thin cuts of meat, vegetables, burgers, steaks (and moist turkey steaks), and sandwiches. The Contact Grill function works best when you want to cook something in a short amount of time or when you are looking for a healthy method of grilling. When cooked on the Contact Grill, food will cook quickly because you are grilling both sides of the food at the same time. The ribs on the grill plates combined with the grease spout at the rear of the plates allow the grease to drip from the meat and drain off the plates. Rest the stainless steel cover on top of the food until it has reached the desired cooking temperature. The Griddler was designed with a unique handle and hinge that allow the cover to adjust to the thickness of the food. You can easily grill anything with even results, from a thinly-sliced potato to a sirloin steak. When cooking more than one food item in the Contact Grill, it is important that the thickness of food items be consistent so the cover will close evenly on the food.
Panini Press
The Griddler can be used as a Panini Press to grill sandwiches, bread, and quesadillas. To use the Griddler as a Panini Press, first, make sure that the grill plates are clean and dry. Preheat the Griddler for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat. Place the sandwich ingredients between two pieces of fresh-baked bread. The sandwich should be no more than 1 inch thick. Close the lid of the Griddler and press down lightly on the handle to press and heat the sandwich to your liking. When cooking two or more paninis, it is important that the thickness of the sandwiches be consistent so that the cover will close evenly on them. This mode obviously makes pressing panini and other sandwiches easy.
Full Grill
The Griddler can also be used as a Full Grill. In this position, the stainless steel cover is lying flat and creates a double, flat cooking surface. This allows you to grill juicy burgers, steaks, and sandwiches. You have the option of cooking different types of foods on separate plates without combining their flavors or cooking large amounts of the same type of food. The Full Grill position also accommodates different cuts of meat with varying thicknesses, allowing you to cook each piece to your liking while adding nice grill marks.
