Waring: How to Season and Maintain a Panini Grill

Get the most out of your panini grill by regularly cleaning and reseasoning the cast iron plates! Not only does this keep the plates naturally non-stick for smooth release, it also helps prolong the grill's service life and optimize your investment.

Panini grill seasoning, cleaning, and maintenance instructions. First, place the grill in a well-ventilated area, and discard the protective film. Then, clean the surface of the grill with soap and hot water. Wipe clean with a wet cloth. Plug in the grill to an electrical outlet, and turn the grill to the maximum setting. Switch the unit on. Smoke will appear as factory sediments burn off. Wait approximately 45 minutes. Once that's done, turn off the grill and let it cool. For the initial seasoning, pour shortening or vegetable oil on a brush or towel. Apply that oil to the grill plates and outer edges. Then allow the oil to set and dry. The plates will season automatically upon use, making the surface naturally non-stick. When cleaning the cast iron plates on a daily basis, use the included brush / scraper to scrape residue into the drip tray. Cover the entire plate at medium heat with a clean, damp rag, and close the grill on the rag. Let it sit for 1 minute. Then, with tongs or a spatula, remove the rag from the plates. Use caution, as the rag will be very hot. Wipe off any residual moisture, and let the grill cool. Reseason the grill weekly to prevent rusting. To do so, simply repeat the initial seasoning steps. This will help ensure that your panini grill is ready for years of use.

Grooved Top and Smooth Bottom Plates

My initial panini press was a used model, which prompted me to purchase a new one of higher quality. A neighboring sandwich shop highly recommended this specific model that they loved. I believed that a flat-bottom grill would be easier to clean. Consequently, I chose to buy this particular model. Upon opening it and attempting to make several paninis, I was disappointed to find that each one browned unevenly. The top plate descended at a steep angle, heating only the back portion of the panini. As a result, the back burned while the front remained nearly untouched. When I contacted the webstaurant to request a return, they suggested some tweaks that did not work and I was informed that they do not accept returns on used items, which I find completely unreasonable. To my dismay, the customer service representative suggested that I sell the panini press myself and then purchase a new Read More

Don’t hesitate on purchasing this press. In the past we have used versions not as nice. Which leads to having to have the press worked on or replaced. Make the investment. Loved the grooved top and flat bottom!

This is a workhorse panini grill. We have been very happy with it. It's not a cheap grill - it's a solid, commercial grill that's heavy and well made. It takes about 30 minutes for it to warm up to around 350 degrees. If the cast iron is kept clean and seasoned, it should last for a very long time. This is our second grill to purchase so we can have two grills running at once. It takes quite a bit of current to run this machine, so consulting with your electrician about your kitchen's electrical capabilities would be wise since it needs a designated circuit.

We swapped out a grooved top and bottom for this grooved top and smooth bottom grill. it still allows us to press paninis, but now allows for more frying surface for our burgers, veggies, etc that don't do well on a grooved bottom. Couldn't be happier!

This is worth every penny. This panini press will hold four large sandwiches and cook them to perfection. There is no need to use the timer function as this will perform beyond expected. An absolute must for any sandwich shop.

This grill is great for our small deli. It takes about 20-30 minutes to preheat but once it's heated it makes wonderful paninis. We needed to get a separate outlet wired for it because when we ran the microwave and the panini grill was on it would trip the breaker. Clean up is a snap.
