Anyone know where I can buy one? The flat surface type not the small ones that are jaffle like. I have tried Tesco but they only have the afore mentioned. Any recommendations as to brands available in Chiang Mai would also be appreciated.

check out central in central airport

There is no Central department store at airport plaza. It's Robinson's. Actually, the Central Dept. Store at Central Huay Kaew offers the best selection in Chiang Mai of high end appliances. You can also try Bakersmart and Yok which each offer good selections of appliances both for consumers and restaurants.

yes, i got it wrong!

You may like to check Makro handong...on the first floor there is a section selling some commercial type Champ appliences. They may have something that suits you. Chinese made...adequate for many jobs and cheap.

I am looking for a stove top, non electric model that is simply hinged and has long handles so that you can even use them on open fires. if anyone runs across them, please let me know...........

Ahhhh, you'd be after the old toasted sandwich maker! The were normally made of alumimium and could do 1, 2 or 3 sandwiches at a time. Brilliant to use when camping. Cant say Ive seen them over here yet.

Actually you only need a cast iron grill pan and a brick wrapped in aluminum foil to make panini on the stove top.

I have a Moroccan neighbour who makes panini. We could send him to you if you send the fare?

Makro have a Cuisinart one. around 7,000 baht. Ours is used daily.

Tonight was no exception. Chorizo, mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes on French village bread. Divine.

It also doubles as a griddle / frying pan.

Yeah CMK.............that's the one and so easy to use and clean and will outlast me. I've been slowly trying my best to escape the 'electric krap appliance trap' and now grind my coffee with a hand cranked grain grinder and other appliances as well that will outlast me.

I have seen a version of the one you posted here years ago with red handles, but I can't remember where it was??

Yeah Bakermart has them. I was just in today...

Siam TV had one on the shelf today as well. But 8,500. For memory the Makro one is 1000 baht cheaper. Or it was.

One of my favorite places I used to go to in Europe for panini made it with a set up just like that.

It's a sandwich. Nothing to cook.

Surely you are joking.

I kid you not.

Breville do make Panini Press and Grill but I am not sure if they will have it in stock in their Chiang Mai store.

You can find Breville store at JJ Market on Asadathorn Road. The shop is right next to Rim Ping.

or contact Hillkoff (their distributor). I am not sure if I am allowed to give out phone number though.

If you want the electric toaster thing, Breville make one and the Hillcoff shops is selling them (on promotion) at 4k baht. The cut and seal into two triangular toasted sandwiches. Looked good to me, but first I'm going to exhaust my search for a manual thing done over a stove or other fire.

Made a wasted journey relying in this post whose position in the thread implied it was referring to the manual non-electric kind. Bakersmart has nothing like that. They have the electric sandwich makers, which of course are available at umpteen other places too.

I kid you not.

Those are toasted sandwich makers. Panini makers are a different ball game altogether. We ditched our "Breville" since getting the Cuisinart panini maker. Easier to clean as well.
