Red panini press with locking lid

$37.46
Updated on 2026-11-05

This set features a panini press with a bold red finish and a locking lid mechanism. The 8 in by 10 in cooking grids are designed to accommodate sandwiches of various sizes, from simple grilled cheese to thick focaccia. The lid is designed to hover over the food, allowing for even browning without crushing the bread.

The device can also be opened to a 180-degree angle, transforming it into an open grill for flat cooking. This dual-functionality is useful for those who want to grill meats or vegetables alongside their sandwiches. The nonstick grids ensure that melted cheese or sauces do not become permanently stuck to the heating surfaces.

Storage is made more efficient by the locking lid, which allows the unit to be stored in an upright position in a kitchen cabinet. Power and preheat lights indicate when the press is ready for use. The handle is designed to stay cool, providing a safe grip when opening the lid or pressing down on a sandwich.
