Price and overview
$109.99 (list price $119.99)
The Chefman 5-in-1 Digital Panini Press is a countertop grill that works as a panini maker, sandwich toaster, and flat griddle. It opens 180 degrees and comes with reversible plates so you can switch between a smooth surface and a grill pattern depending on what you're cooking.
What it does
- Panini and sandwich pressing. The hinged lid closes to toast sandwiches, with an adjustable hinge that accommodates thick or oversized sandwiches.
- Flat griddle mode. Opens completely flat for cooking pancakes, eggs, or other foods that don't need pressing.
- Reversible cooking plates. Flip the plates between a smooth non-stick surface and a textured grill surface for burgers and other grilled items.
- Temperature control. Adjustable heat settings let you choose how crispy or well-done you want your food.
- Built-in timer. An LCD display shows the timer so you can keep track of cooking time.
- Dishwasher-safe cleanup. The grilling plates and drip tray remove and can go in the dishwasher to reduce hand-washing.
Power and warranty
The unit runs on 120V AC power and draws 1500W. Chefman provides a 1-year warranty and the appliance has UL approval.
Good to know before you buy
- Space required. This is marketed as compact, but it still needs counter space both when in use and for storage.
- No cooking surface dimensions listed. The listing does not specify the cooking plate size, so check dimensions if you have space constraints.
- Cord and outlet needed. It requires a standard AC outlet nearby and is not cordless or battery-operated.
Who it suits
This grill works well for people who want a single appliance that handles multiple cooking tasks without taking up a lot of room. It's practical for cooking paninis, grilled cheese, burgers, or pancakes at home. It's less suitable for anyone who needs high-volume cooking, professional kitchen use, or who primarily cooks one type of food and doesn't need the versatility.
