Stouffer's Lean Cuisine Panini Reviews

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...

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 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.
