Breville BSG600BSS the Perfect Press Panini Silver

The perfect press is exactly as its name suggests. From its stunning curves which look amazing on the bench, to its perfect crush control hinge for the the best toasting experience you could ask for. The crush control provides such a great toasting experience for things like croissants, hot cross buns. In the past every time I have tried to toast one of these, they end up completely crushed and flat. The perfect press has a floating lid which only applies the pressure needed to toast a product, which results in perfectly toasted, not flat products.. and the best home made toasted cheese and tomato croissant I could hope for. I am extremely happy with this purchase and I would 10/10 recommend it to anyone in the market for a new sandwich press. Get in on this beautiful machine for the best non-flat croissants and hot cross buns!

I have been using my press for well over a year now and I am absolutely delighted with the performance; gone are the days of 2mm toasted sandwiches. The Press has so many different capabilities, limited only by your imagination. For example, cooking eggs, bacon and I have even successfully cooked steak a task performed with aplomb and the cooking residue simply wipes away with a damp cloth. I love my Press, it's perfect for those small snacks that get us through the day.

Makes excellent toasted sandwiches

Love the storage stand. Easy for hubby to grab and use! Compact, great for one or two sandwiches. Quality construction and sturdy and easy to clean. Great for heating delicate pastries also - no crushing!!!

As much as I love the sealed crispy edge from the Breville jaffle maker, not everyday you want squashed sandwich as a snack or lunch! This Perfect press has some mad technology that keeps my toast and ingredients nice and high to enjoy!! Can even make burgers without flattening it!

Overall, the Breville Toast/Melt Sandwich Press BSG520BSS is a well designed and constructed unit. The brushed stainless steel Floating Top Plate is well balanced and cooks evenly, automatically adjusting perfectly to all sizes of sandwiches every time. The added bonus is that the Top Plate is heat-insulted which is a unseen safety feature. Heat distribution for cooking is excellent, providing an even cook on both sides. This unit has large non-slip feat - the largest I have seen in its class. Heats up and cooks fast. One of the best sandwich presses one can buy and an absolute pleasure to use.

Solidly built, easy to store, easy to clean but after 2 years the power cord stops working and you cannot get inside to fix it. The second time this has happened.

It doe's a really great job of making those toasted sandwiches. All nicely browned. We haven't tried the 'open melt' yet but I'm sure, its sure to delight! Having already got a sculpted sealed sandwich press and a pie maker, both are nightmares to clean, But the Perfect Press is one dream to clean. Just two flat plates. The bad news I'm afraid... ●The "fold and stand" is quite unstable . Twice (so far?) the FOLDED toaster has fallen over, off the kitchen bench onto the tiled floor. The last drop has created a dint in the steel top. ●A bit of pain folding the mains wire back into the under casing (a good grease trap!). But one has to put the Cable back in order for toaster to (wobbly) stand upright ●It all gets a bit hot. The bulbous stainless steel lid can/could be insulated a bit more.

This is/was such a fantastic machine. We used it at least 3 times per week over the last 3+ years and nothing else makes sandwiches like grilled cheese as quickly and as evenly. We even used it as a toaster so we didn't have to have a toaster on the counter. Unfortunately, it recently stopped working or turning on so it's no longer usable. I did see in this mentioned a number of times in other reviews, so I thought I should tell my experience as well.

We are extremely disappointed with the uneven cooking heat that is produced from the top surface to the lower
