[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5250658, member: 177"] My wife and I do some historical reconstruction - one of her projects is translating and redacting recipes from the cookbook of Bartolomeo Scappi, chef to a couple of Popes, from back in 1570. There is nothing at all limited in scope of foods found in that book. Organ meats - ugh. :-S We've had a project running for the past year and more - use at least one recipe from each cookbook we own. We own a lot of cookbooks, having inherited collections from both of our parents. This has led us to some discoveries that are sandwich relevant. The absolute simplest is the world's cheapest panini press: Many restaurants will sell you a thing they call a panini. It is a grilled sandwich, and it has lines across it, so it must be a panini, right? Wrong. Generally speaking they put it on a grill with an upper and a lower heating plate, and call that done. They're wrong. The real thing about panini is not grilling from both sides at once, or having grill lines. The thing that makes a panini different from other sandwiches is application of pressure during cooking, which changes the texture of the bread. The cheap press is really simple - get your griddle or fry pan. Make up your sandwich. Then, get a large pot (I'm talking something that'll hold a gallon of water or so for doing two sandwiches at once). Cover the bottom of the pot with foil. Give the foil a shot of non-stick coking spray. Put it on top of the sandwiches, and put a few cans of beans, tomatoes, or whatever is in your pantry to weigh down the pot. You want a coupel of cans per sandwich, typically (and depending on the bread you're using - I'm assuming you're not going through all this with Wonder bread - some experimentation will be called for. You'll have to flip your sandwiches to get both sides toasty, but that's small price to pay for getting a panini press for free.. [/QUOTE]
