I bought a panini press! Now what?

[lemniscate]

I'm one to talk, my panini press came from the MOMA store on clearance, clearance, clearance after an Italian themed installation.   The brand is Milantoast, which I had never seen here in the States.   It's a heavy beast.

Ah, it's offsite at the remote kitchen.  Don't cook there in the summer.

No fair @lemniscate. Here we are sitting with our tongues hanging out, waiting for your big Reveal, and then what –– peanuts?

Best I can do is a chef video of the press,  mine is not this clean.

Just a little reminder that quesadilla type things work well --if you don't mind cleaning up some cheese off the maker that is lol.  It gets the tortillas nice and crisp without having to use oil and especially without having to flip them over.

😎 I have texted my garage sale shopper friend to keep an eye out . . .

I just found a package of corn tortillas in the freezer. Does it work with corn tortillas as well as flour tortillas?

I've never tried corn but I don't see why it wouldn't!  I'd maybe brush a bit of oil on ....but you might not even need to do that.

Found this - Alton Brown - seems to have some interesting suggestions - the spatchcocked chicken would be brilliant I think. 

Great link ... that's the old Alton that I loved!

I missed that when Kerry first posted the link, so thanks for the quote! Gotta admit I thought the "pizza" they showed looked pretty puny, but there are some interesting ideas there. Hmm, I might even get adventuresome and try the omelette idea. When I don't have company, that is.
