GE Panini Maker Reviews

It was a great Gift!

Rated 4 out of 5

I recieved the GE Panini Maker as a gift from a friend. Although I could do the same thing in my favorite frying pan, I really do enoy the panini maker. I just plug the device in, let is warmup, and then select my favorite cheeses and meets to put on my bread while it is warming up. Just pop it on the machiene, and presto! I have a delicious panini without having to go to a fancy Italian bakery. There are a few drawbacks to using the machiene. It does require more cleaning time than would my favorite skillet. The cheese chan run on and burn on the hot plates, which makes cleanup tricky at times. The machiene does however deliver that excellent bakery taste that many of us long for, but don't have the time nor energy to go drive and buy it. If you want a way to make delicious paninis in your own home, then the GE Panini Maker would deffinitly be worth the money it costs to go buy the machiene.

Nothing a Frying Pan Can't Do

I don't hate my General Electric Panini Maker, I just think that it's a gimmicky kind of thing that sounds great and you like the idea of it, but in reality is not worth time and effort it takes.  The Panini Maker in my opinion does not do anything a Frying Pan doesn't do just as well.

I received the GE Panini Maker last Christmas from my coworkers (who I'm hoping will not read this), and it was a lovely and thoughtful gift since they know I enjoy cooking.  But after trying it the first time, I thought, "this is a heck of a long way around to make a stupid grilled cheese sandwich!"  It does make a pretty sandwich.  I'll give it that.  It has those nice grill marks o...

Excellent value and the best grilled sandwiches ever!!!

The GE Panini Maker has been one of the best purchases I have made recently.  First of all, it is very affordable at just $29.88.  The GE Panini Maker is so easy to use...you plug it in, let it heat up, and you are ready to go.  It adjusts to the size of whatever you are cooking...you can make paninis, grilled cheese sandwiches, grilled chicken, and many other things on this versatile appliance.  The grill is a nonstick surface and makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had.  You can fit 4 slices of bread on the GE Panini Grill, so it is not short on cooking space.  It is easy to store due to its design, because you can set it upright and slide it into tighter storage areas. It has a detachable, slide-out drip tray to catch the greases released during cooking.  The grill plates are removable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.  I would definitely recommend this appliance to anybody and everybody!
