Once again, I have decided it was time to go on a diet or in better terms, watch what I eat.  I have been tracking my calories and fat and have been trying to make better choices when it comes to my eating habits.  I am usually on the go and don't always have time to make myself nutrional foods. ...

If I have to, while on the run, I'll pick up Lean Cuisine's Panini if I'll be anywhere I'll have access to a microwave. Much better, nutritionally, than any fast food item going.

It surprised me that the bread was actually grilled type crunchy, and because I am a crunchmeister, I'm pleased by that....

Lean Cusine Panni's are awesome.  They taste awesome.  Hot and gooey.  Salty and Tasty.  They are cheap and quick.  They are sooo easy to cook.  OH, and get this they don't add 50 million pounds to your hips.  Thats what I'm talking about.

I eat Lean Cuisine frozen meals almost everyday for lunch.  And while they're good, they do get old quick.  So I was excited to see them coming out with something a little different.  The Panini sounded pretty good.  But runchy bread in a microwave?  I was a little skeptical.  But it honestly was pretty crunchy.  However, I wasn't crazy about it.  I tried two or three different kinds and none of them were really that great.  Also the size was pretty small, so small that I don't know if it would fill most people up.  All in all....I wouldn't buy it again.

I love quick and easy foods and absolutely LOVE Panini, but going to Panera every day for my favorite was slowly putting me into the poorhouse, so when I saw Lean Cuisines on sale 5 for 10$ one day, I decided to buy a few different ones to try and see if they were just as good.

The answer was no, not just as good, but they are very good, and ALOT healthier than going out for lunch every day. They come with a little crisping round, which has cut outs on it so it looks like the breads really gone thru a panini grill, but they don't really show up when you cook them.. doesn't matter really because...

As a teacher, I need quick and yummy meals to eat in 30 minutes, and still have time to chat with other teachers as I eat.  I tried the Lean Cuisine Paninis because I love the thought of having crunchy, crispy sandwiches for lunch.  I was not disappointed!  It heats nicely, and does have a nice crunch.  The varieties they've chosen, from Philly Cheesesteak to California Club, are different enough to have something new to choose from.  I also like to eat them more like an open-faces sandwich because together, they are a littlel difficult to eat.

My only complaints would be that you can really...

I followed the directions on the box for the Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Panini & it turned out very soggy with part of the crust too hard to even cut with a knife. I was very disappointed because I had high hopes for this sandwich. I did eat the whole sandwich except the too hard crust & it tasted ok. I should know better than to think you can make a panini sandwich in the microwave & have it actually turn out like you made it in a panini press! Lesson learned! The sodium was very high at 830 mg....way too much for me! It wasn't something I would eat again. I will just go back to making my own home...

I had seen everybody eating these paninis back at the break table.  They looked so good and smelled great.  Everybody raved about how good they were and told me I should try one, so I did.  I fell in love.  I tried everyone of them in fact.  They are great for lunch or even a quick dinner with a salad for my daughter and I.  Yes, even my picky sixteen year old likes them too.  Stouffer's has yet again made another great meal. Thanks!

My family loves paninis, but what's up with the popularity of high carb sandwiches? I know there are bread stores on every street corner, but I am somewhat disappointed that Lean Cuisine has jumped on the band wagon and offering a sandwish with mega bread and little filling. Of course, the filling the sandwiches do have is tasty. So, I recommend the product but am disappointed that it just doesn't seem to fit in with the Lean Cuisine line of low calorie, low carb foods.

Stoffer's Lean Cuisine Panini sandwiches are just "ok" not showstopping.  I have yet to find a good frozen panini sandwich and this does not fill the bill either. The thing I like most about any panini sandwich is the crunchy toasted bread.  How do you get that when using a microwave? I bought three of these and ate two.  The third one remains in the freezer but may soon hit the trash.......

I eat Lean Cuisine Panini for several reasons, they are quick and easy, they are low calorie, and I feel like I am getting a healthy portion while getting something really good tasting. There are several varieties to choose from and I think I have had them all, and loved them.  My personal favorite is the steak sandwich though.  I would recommend these to anyone for lunch or dinner.

        I was so excited when I went down the frozen food isle and found something different.  And there it was Stouffers panini.   I bought both the steak and cheese and ham and cheese.  Had steak and cheese as soon as I got home. I found it to be very good.  And yes I would buy it again.

I don't eat much frozen food, but these are a real treat. Usually frozen meals are stingy with ingredients and never turn out as good as the photo on the box, but this is an exception.

The process for grilling / crisping the sandwich really does a good job. Particularly tasty are the Chicken Club and Southwest-style Chicken varieties.

I was not impressed with this product.  I'm one of those people who will just throw it away instead of eating something that isn't good.  I didn't finish this.  It had a strange flavor that really turned me off to it.  I gave it 2 stars because it wasn't horrible.

I'm trying to lose a few lbs so I have been eating Lean Cusine for lunch and usually enjoy them.  I was disappointed in the Lean Cusine Panini though.   I feel that there is not enough filling in the panini, it's realy not that tasty and I think it's over priced.
