The fresh, robust flavors of Italian grilled sandwiches

A panini is an Italian-inspired pressed sandwich enjoyed throughout Italy and, increasingly, in North American cafés, restaurants and kitchens. Italians regard panini as fast food thanks to its easy preparation, which also accounts for its success in North America. Sales of panini makers have skyrocketed, with small appliance manufacturers releasing new models each year.

• Salami, prosciutto, mozzarella panini with roasted red peppers; Philly cheesesteak panini
• Bacon, spinach and hard-boiled egg panini; smoked salmon, red onion, cream cheese and caper panini
• Sweet Italian sausage, provolone and tomato sauce panini; hummus, red onion and Swiss cheese panini
• Pulled pork panini; Tuscan tuna and white bean panini; shrimp club panini
• Cuban panini; smores panini; sliced beef, caramelized onions and gorgonzola panini
• Smoked turkey, brie and Granny Smith apple panini; south of the border turkey panini with perfect guacamole.

This Italian tradition can now be experienced at home and enjoyed by the whole family.

Among the many innovative recipes and techniques, you'll learn to cook meatloaf and potatoes simultaneously in 10 minutes, and meatballs, pasta, and sauce at the same time in only 5 minutes. Many recipes also suggest Cook-Along ideas for preparing vegetables and grains along with the entrée.
