Breville Panini Duo Simplicity
The simplicity of the Breville Panini Duo is staggering. If you are one of the many people who enjoys eating hot toasted sandwiches then you may be interested in trying to make your own. This has the advantage of being much cheaper than eating out. But if money is not a concern, the other advantage is that you can make a panini in this sandwich press using any kind of bread and fillings that you want. You become the master of your own panini domain.
What I like about the Breville BSG520XL is that cooking a meal or a snack is really easy. It does not take very long either. I often combine a moderately healthy panini sandwich with a home made fruit and vegetable drink. This turns into quite a healthy meal. It is interesting that this particular sandwich press is cheaper than the lowest cost Breville BJE200XL juicer. This is something that I like about this particular brand. They produce a number of top quality kitchen appliances. Their design has a similar feel to it so everything looks good together.
Anyway, let us now concentrate on just how easy it is to make foods with the Breville Panini Duo. As far as options are concerned, the only ones that you have relate to the way that the top hot plate closes onto the lower one. The standard way to use the machine is just to let gravity take control. While your panini is cooking, which takes round about 5 minutes, the heavy top section will slowly push down onto the filling and lower part of the sandwich to make you a nice flat panini. This is how it should turn out.
It can also be used at a fixed height. Therefore making open sandwiches in this machine is easy too. Having the top hot plate sitting just above your food means that it can radiate heat down. This is great if you are making some sort of cheese melt.
