can it be used as a panini

CZ: Absolutely... the one thing not really mentioned here is this; IF you plan to use with any food that has a dry rub or aggressive seasoning, THEN you will want to clean this grill as soon as you're done OR according to the directions supplied!

There's a bottom grill and a upper grill of substantial weight.Place your sandwich in between and wait. Voila, panini! It's an excellent product but doesn't have removable grills for cleaning. Don't be lazy, it's worth the effort.

No. We are using it as a built in over the oven, but it can be used as a counter top also.

yes-cooks more evenly this way. I have a deli, and will never have any other type of panini again!

No reason that you can't...however, why flip it...just build it in the cast iron skillet and take advantage of your already built-up seasoning. The negative is size. Most skillets are much smaller than the pizza pan.

Yes you can. It is very versatile and easy to do everything in one pan. I have used it to saute vegetables for soup and brown pot roast before cooking it.

I haven't tried it, but I think it would work well. Being seasoned, it's naturally non stick and it's heavy.

It has a round nonstick pan. I guess you could use it as a pizza pan. It also comes with a nonstick grill pan and I am confident you could cook pizza dough on that one as well.

I dont think so. I have not tried it and I dont think there would be enough room in pan to attempt it. I wish I could be more help.

It's kinda non-stick and easy to clean so I imagine that you could make a lasagna in it. It would be really big/deep lasagna to warn you but I'm thinking that actually sounds like a pretty good idea that I might have to try out now!

Quesadilla makers are quite inexpensive in my experience. I've owned several in the past few decades. I'm not sure you're going to find a machine that does both paninis and quesadillas.

It has flat plates to make old fashioned grilled cheese. On the reverse there are waffle plates. So if you mean by panini that you want your bread grilled with diagonal stripes, no. But you could get them grilled without stripes if you use the flat plates, and with a checkerboard pattern if you use the waffle side.

I believe it can. However you would use a regular skillet, you can use this for as well. Mine has held up nicely, no sign of the finish wearing off. My pancakes slide right off. I use it 3x per week. I make protein power pancakes for my hustand to take to work, he eats them cold with fruit jelly.

I considered the exact same thing, I came to the conclusion that I did not want to purchase or store a big panini appliance - that for the most part does one thing, depending on which one you buy. I use mine for paninis, I am not sure if Panini "Purests" would agree, but we use this George Foreman for so many other things too - like vegetables and fish, all made at the same time, in a healthy way.

Yes! I've used the pan to make brownies, cake and muffins. Just follow the directions on the box and they'll come out delicious!

Yes I believe you could use as a stir-fry pan. Maybe not quite as deep as a wok. Nice pan!

The Panini press can be used as a contact grill. The lid opens to a 90* angle so you only have the bottom surface to use for grilling. The lid does not lay flat, which would have given double the surface. The only caveat to grilling with the lid up is that the lid gets hot, so safety is a concern. I hope this helps.

I don't see why not. I will probably try it later in the growing season when I make tomato sauce. i have a much larger pan that I use for that but it is very heavy so I will try this one when making a smaller batch, Lord willing and the harvest is good this year.
