What does a panini maker look like?

A panini maker, also known as a sandwich press or grill, is a kitchen appliance designed to cook panini, a type of toasted Italian sandwich. Panini makers typically have two heated plates that press down on the sandwich, cooking it evenly on both sides. The plates may be flat, ridged, or a combination of both. Panini makers can be compact and lightweight, making them suitable for use in small kitchens or for quick meals. They come in a variety of styles and sizes, and some models may include additional features such as temperature control, timer settings, and indicator lights. The overall appearance of a panini maker can vary depending on the brand and model, but they generally have a clamshell design with a handle that presses down to close the plates.
