Can I adjust the temperature?

No. The press has no temperature dial or setting; it runs at its single 1600 W heat and you control browning by timing.

How many sandwiches fit at once?

The 95.7 sq in plate takes about two thick paninis or up to four thinner sandwiches, depending on size.

Do the plates come off for cleaning?

No. The plates are fixed, so you wipe them down once the press has cooled.

Can it press thick sandwiches?

Only partly. The hinge is fixed, so very tall fillings get compressed rather than gently pressed.

Is it a grill as well as a panini press?

It is a two-plate contact press. It has no interchangeable flat grill or waffle plates, so it is best kept to sandwiches.

Does it have a drip tray?

The press is a simple clamshell design without a separate drip tray, so grease stays on the plates.

Our take on the Gped Panini Press Sandwich Maker, 4 Slices Stainless Steel

The Gped Panini Press is a 1600 W contact grill with a 95.7 sq in cooking area and an 8.7 in wide stainless steel plate, sized to press two thick paninis or four thinner sandwiches at once. It competes on plate size and power rather than on flexibility: it has no interchangeable plates, no adjustable hinge and no temperature dial, so it is a one-job countertop tool. Owners rate it around 3.5 out of 5, with the heat and the pressed results drawing praise and uneven cooking and cleanup drawing complaints. It suits someone who wants hot pressed sandwiches quickly and does not need a full multi-use grill.

What reviewers say

3.5 / 526 ratings

Buyers of this press like how quickly it heats and how well it flattens and browns sandwiches, and the wide plate gets a mention. Complaints center on uneven heat, a hinge that crushes thick fillings, and plates that are awkward to clean.
