Versatile appliance. We made paninis for dinner and then, pancakes for breakfast the next day. The fact that the cooking surfaces are detachable is a big plus.
Instead of the left knob control the bottom surface and the right control both. Both control both surfaces simultaneously. Other than that I can do what I want.
This was a Christmas gift for myself and it was the best thing I have ever gotten! So many paninis and perfect toasted sandwiches, it even looks great in the kitchen!
