KLARSTEIN Burgermeister 3-in-1 Contact Grill Table - Panini Maker, 2000W, Temperature Freely Adjustable via Sliding Regulator, High-Temperature Ceramic Non-Stick Coating, Black

The thermostat on my old trusty panini press finally stopped working despite me trying to repair it. This Klarstein doesn`t make the sandwiches quite the same but I am getting used to it. The detachable hot plates are a good feature as this allows perfect cleaning if required. It looks well made too. The plates are white and smooth which I have not seen before but I guess it`s just a case of getting used to it. So if you replace a cooking appliance with something else, the results are probably going to be slightly different................Now about 10 toasties later, and the results are good. Using the spacer device which keeps the plates from squashing the sandwich for a couple of minutes, and then releasing this to apply more pressure and also use of the temperature control ie reducing temperature to finish - this produces a good result.

Surprisingly good quality, all-round! The grill is good and solid and heats to temperature very quickly. Also simple and straightforward to use. The heating plates are removable and easy to clean. Would recommend this grill. It does seem made to last!!

Easy to use and easy to clean. Temperature control is simple. Although it’s a bit expensive though in good quality

Had my eye on it for ages , Best one yet , well made , I tried oiling the base and put in place a thin homemade Spelt pizza dough , applied usual. topping , set Temp to Medium , 15 to 20 , oh yeah yum ! , Love it , very fast cook time , sit down for 5 , 10 min , get up n turn over , usual items are ready in about another 10 , 15 mins . Great Stuff !

Returned an alternative prior to this one, because it was not giving me the feeling of robustness. This is really professional, good looking and well built. Happy with the heating too.

The item is rubbish. The sliding temperature control is flimsy and doesn’t work particularly well. But the biggest issue is that it is definitely not anti stick - no matter what you cook (at different time / temperature combinations) everything sticks to the plates regardless. It’s so bad that the plates need to be scraped that is after scraping the stuck food off. The fat trap doesn’t collect fat as there is no fall off the plates and the fat pools on the plates and then burns.

Well built and cooks well and easy to clean.Makes great toasties

Love this panini press well worth the money great quality and so easy to clean
