Question:

How do you cook a panini without a press?

I have an oven, grill, toaster, pan microwave but no sandwich/toastie press or george forman grill.How do I make a panini??

Answer:

If you have access to a brick then make sure you clean the brick first, and then wrap very carefully in aluminum foil. Place this on top of your sandwich.
Use a smaller frying pan as a press in a larger one. Then grill it in a greased pan. Almost as if you were nesting the pans together. It works best if the small frying pan is hot as well, as you can do it in one quick process, without having to flip anything. You do have to deal with a hot pan though, so oven mitt time. Cast iron pans of course. I use the lid of my dutch oven in a big skillet.
