  • A rotisserie is a versatile appliance to have in your kitchen and in these health conscious times they’re  valuable as fat-reducing cooking appliance. The principle is incredibly easy to understand as they simply rotate meat, fish, or veggies over or next to a heat source. Granted, this has been done for millennia over camp and cooking fires, and the basics of heat transfer into the food are exactly the same.The heat source in a modern interior rotisserie are electric coils placed strategically under and/or around the rotating shaft, commonly called the "spit”. This evenly distributes heat which cooks the food completely and thoroughly, while the undesirable fat drips away, usually into a pan at the bottom. Although there are variations on this setup, they all work on much the same principle.Each of these best rotisseries in 2022 we’ve selected are designed with dishwasher safe materials and break down easily including the spit and holding forks when you’re done cooking. They will all have a dedicated drip pan or spout for easy removal of the grease and/or oil, as well as having exterior surfaces  that can be wipes clean with a damp cloth. Additionally, their heating sources are positioned to make these picks countertop friendly, so you won't have to worry about burn marks.

  • If you are familiar with counter top grills, then you pretty much know what a panini press is. The main difference between the two are the addition of a floating hinge. This hinge allows you to stack up a large sandwich onto the grill, and when closing the lid, you won't crush the sandwich. The hinge will automatically adjust to the thickness of the sandwich so that it will gently rest on the bread layers, while toasting them and warming up the insides. That automatic hinge adjustment is why it is called "floating," because it literally floats over your sandwich. You can technically use any countertop grill as a panini press, and many regular hinged grills will advertise that they are panini presses, but without a floating hinge, they are falling short.To that end, all of the machines listed here will have a floating hinge. They will also have a genuine handle to lower the upper plate slowly and carefully onto the top slice of bread. There are panini presses out there that don't give you this luxury, which can lead to squashed bread, and burned toast. Each one will have easy-to-clean, non-stick grilling plates, and for best results, all of these plates will have to be seasoned first, which means wiping them down with vegetable or olive oil after every washing, so be aware of that. Many types of panini presses have removable grill plates, which makes overall cleaning a bit easier, so if you want the easiest to clean units, look for those types.Most genuine panini sandwiches are made by using ciabatta, rosetta or other types of Italian bread, but the reality is you can use any type of bread. There may be a bit of trial and error to get your panini toasted correctly, but once you figure that out, there is no sandwich that is tastier, by far. And remember, many can also be grills, so even though your main reason to make this purchase is for great tasting toasted sandwiches, if you want this to be an indoor grill as well, look for the most versatile types. Each of these best panini presses in 2022 will have a minimum one year limited warranty, unless otherwise stated in the description, and they will also come with basic accessories like a cleaning tool and recipe booklet.
