Recipes
Your Tri-Grill uses the weight of the heated UPPER grill
plate to grill both sides at the same time. Use your
Tri-Grill to prepare authentic Italian Panini’s and Cuban
sandwiches, as well as to grill poultry, meat, fish,
sausages, and a variety of other foods.
Your Tri-Grill is designed to sear foods perfectly.
The special hinged top plate inherent on all Panini grills
allows the grill to be used on extra thick sandwiches
and food items.
The English translation of Panini means little breads,
or rolls and is equated with sandwiches. In the United
States, Panini has come to denote a grilled Italian
sandwich. The Panini sandwiches of today are generally
made using fresh, crusty Italian breads.
