Visually, the Breville VST025X triple panini press (or sandwich press, sandwich maker, etc.) is really absolutely convincing. The device is relatively large, decorated quite noble and therefore a focal point in the kitchen. The processing makes a very high-quality impression, the press is stable and the cable long enough in my opinion. Before first use, the appliance should be cleaned to a soft, damp cloth is very suitable. Then the press can be pre-heated (there is no on-off switch, the cable has to always be turned on or unplugged). After the warm-up period expires, the green Ready light and you can finish the occupied (here the imagination knows no bounds) Panini sandwich or put on the lower grill plate. Then cover the dish with the upper grill plate. This cover can be pushed shut with the handle slightly. One should however be very careful, because the device tilts unfortunately very slightly forward. Here, then, exercise and sensitivity is required. Two occupied large slices of toast or paninis fit well next to each other in the unit. We've tried different fillings, cheese and tomato tastes us the best so far. After a few minutes (this is also a matter of taste) are the toasts ready and can be retrieved from the device (due to the non-stick coating exclusively with wood or Platikteilen). That the interior of toasts can be very hot, I could see myself. Therefore, some caution is needed. The cleaning of the device is very simple. Allow to cool slightly and then wipe with a damp cloth or paper towel. With us, the pollution so far been relatively low because rarely leaked cheese or some other part of the filling has landed on the griddle. This ease of cleaning is a very big plus of the device! What I was angry at other sandwich makers already on cheese in all sorts of grooves and corners. The grill can not be removed, but that's not even necessary. The device can be sealed and stored to save space (cable can be wound up at the bottom of the unit). A Temepraturregel and an off / power button would have been in my opinion, not bad. But it is also like that.
Overall, a really good part to a (barely) reasonable price.
