Panini Machine Electrical Conversion? Convert the machine or install a 220v outlet ? We got a really great deal for our lunch outlet - a panini [pressed sandwiches] machine. But, it is wired for a 220v outlet and all out outlets in a commercial kitchen are house current with ground. Is it smarter to take the machine to an electrician and hope he can fix it? Or, invest in wiring in the kitchen? We expect to do 30-40 sandwiches per lunch hour.

which menu would you prefer for a Saturday luch? So I have some family coming over for a Saturday lunch. The guests include my grandparents, parents, brother (18), and cousins (ages 16, 11, and 6)... Menu #1. Mexican/American ~Nacho Soup( I take nacho cheese and mix it with chicken broth add black beans, diced red bell pepper, corn kernels, cilantro, and lime juice and garnish with a flour tortilla cut into thin strips) ~Green Salad w/ ranch ~Steak Fajitas (flour tortillas with marinated steak sautéed with sweet peppers and onions, served with sliced avocado) ~Rice Pudding ~Horchata (a drink made with cinnamon, almonds, cream, rice and water) ~Fruit Punch ~Coffee OR Menu #2. Italian ~Chicken Caesar Salad (with homemade Caesar dressing) ~Sausage and Tomato Soup ~Panini (pressed sandwiches) ~Tiramisu (homemade) ~Caramelized Pears ~Italian Cream Sodas ~Coffee I think the kids would appreciate the bold flavors of Menu #1 where as the adults would prefer the subtle flavors of Menu #2. And I can’t decide, I love both menus… thanks!

Flattened chicken breast...? I live in Miami and most of the latin restaurants serve this flattened breast cooked on a griddle/grill with black beans and rice. I have been using a meat tenderizing hammer to flatten my chicken breast but I'm curious. Is there a cooking tool, sort of like the press used to make cuban sandwiches or panini sandwiches, sold in stores that can be used to flatten & grill the breast instead of beating the heck out of it? If not, what are other alternatives to flattening the chicken. Beating it is such a mess!
