NEW PANINI MAKER and it just ain't for rich folks...YAY!!!

1/1/2012

 
Happy New Year everybody!!!

Hope it was a good one!

I'm SO EXCITED!!!
I must tell you about my new

PANINI MAKER GRILL THING.

It's AWESOME!

Picture




It looks like a crab here,
making it's way across my kitchen counter,
but in actuality it is a stationery electrical appliance.

Picture


See, it won't hurt you.

But it will make you LOVE sandwiches better.

At least it did me.

Picture
Look, it's opening it's mouth and telling you to feed it.

"GIVE ME YOUR CRAPPY, BORING SANDWICH AND I WILL MAKE IT EXCITING"

is what it is saying.

Picture


Okay,
so I took the bait and ponied up two slices of boring Wonder 100% whole wheat bread.


*Yawn*

Picture


I slapped some deli sliced turkey on the bread.

*Sheez, can someone wake me up when this boring blog post is over?!?!?!*

Picture


OH MY GOSH, I CAN'T STAND IT...Pepper jack cheese????

NO!!!

Well, NOW things are really hoppin'!!

Picture


Throw the other slice of bread on top and you have...ahhh...hmmm....
well, uh, yeah, a boring old turkey and cheese sandwich.



*What? Is it like midnight or something, cuz I'm dying of boredom of my own words and pictures here.*

Picture
Wait!

Hold the presses!

What is this? Pam Olive Oil spray?

What do I do with this?

Why is this important to this blog post? Much less this sandwich?

Picture
Say what the what?!?!

You want me to spray both sides of the sandwich with Pam cooking spray?

Why?

Whatever good can become of spraying bread with olive oil? I'm confused! That's just WEIRD!!!

Well, after getting over my initial shock of spraying bread, I sprayed both sides and
placed the sandwich on the panini press.
And closed the lid.
Now if you haven't passed out or clicked away of boredom yet,
hang in there please.....
Picture
Cuz wait a couple minutes and then open up the fancy dancy panini press and

LOOK

WHAT

YOU

HAVE!

Picture


A non-boring, warm,
tasty,
oozy
turkey and pepper jack cheese  extraordinaire sandwich!

On a really messy, crumb-filled plate no less!

Picture


Dear Mr. Boring Turkey Sandwich,


You don't look boring at all now.


Love,
Angie


Picture


In fact, you look even better up close....my stomach is gurgling noises, saying feed me, feed me.

Oh, and the best part?


Picture

The panini press is easy to clean...

Triple YAY!!!

I know this is not clean yet, I took the picture immediately after taking the sandwich off the griddler, but all the crumbs wiped away very handily.

Okay, I lied. I haven't cleaned it yet but I can tell by the non-stick surface it's easy to clean.



So I learned a couple things today:
1. Panini makers aren't just for hoity, rich folk. Mine was a Christmas gift from my Mother-in-law. The press is a Cuisinart brand, I think original price around $100 on sale for $50.
2. Paninis elevate the taste of a sandwich and are verrrrry easy to make. Even a monkey could make a panini. As you witnessed above.
