Warms the sandwich up, mostly. Middle meat is still a little chilled. Doesn’t brown the bread as pictured. Bread stayed white with four light brown lines. Definitely not Panini Worthy.
Use this every day, love a warm sandwich. Crispy, so delicious! You can make a pretty generous sandwich with this, I was surprised at how much it took ! Cheese will leak out into the toaster, so put cheese between a folded piece of meat.
My parents have been begging me for one of these and it was at the top of their wish list for Christmas. I was happy to return the favor after so many joyful holidays with them growing up! Now in addition to their morning ritual of coffee - they have an afternoon siesta with a quick and easy grilled cheese.
