What's the physical size of the press? (LxWxH) Also, is the lid height adjustable for thicker sandwiches?

The grill itself is about 12"x14"x7.5" and the lid height is adjustable for thick sandwiches

Hi HelenEach cooking surface measures 11" x 9.5" so open is 22" x 19" total flat cooking surface. When the press is closed it adjust (self levels) to the thickness of the item to be grilled or pressed. The height when closed is 7" from the handle to the base. it takes up very little counter space and is perfect for two to three people. Hope this answers your question. I had looked at other similar items and they are not the quality of this one. I use mine for everything from fish to steaks.

With the handle, the press is 12" deep x 14" wide by 7-1/2" tall closed. If you look at the picture of the press open, you may see that the top swivels on the handle allowing it to press something as thick as 2" maybe a little more with the plates still parallel. It is limited by the electrical cord that connects from the bottom to the top. We really love this press.

I just measured the depth of mine and it is 7/8." 1/2 lb of meat seems pretty hefty, I usually do 1/3 lb patties and they are pretty thick. Any more meat than that and your patties will almost look like balls when they're done cooking, due to the shrinkage. I usually flatten mine out after I remove from the press, so that they will fit the bun better.I've also written a review where I describe my process, which prevents the press from coming into contact with the meat.

I modified mine,the sides were too low. I just spread the center apart. The center now is 2 inches and the sides are 1 1/2 inches. Was easy to do. I am guessing the original measurements were probably 2 1/2 in the center and 1 inch on the sides. First time I used it the sides were too low. Works fine for me now. Love it, notheing sticks to it. made about 12 loaves in it so far. Italian bread. Yummy.

Good question. I used the George Forman grill ( which I have had for years) as a Panini Press . It works fine except that it doesn't have a floating hinge, so you can get angled sandwiches on thick bread. Some of the panini makers have adjustable hinges, some have floating ones, but all have some sort of hinge adjustment. The Forman Grill (at least the one I had) didn't. But you can pretty much use them interchangably. Watch for drip trays on some (particularly if you want to use them like a grill for chicken or things that might drip). But I like the convenience and clean-ability of the panini presses that I have now. So I'm going to stay with the press rather than the grill. Hope this helps.

The tote is just a simple nylon zip bag, ~13.75 inches by ~7 inches. The press itself, with the plunger depressed inside and the filter holder in place, is ~5.75 inches tall. The funnel is 3 inches tall, hexagon-shaped at the top and 4.5 inches across its widest dimension. There is also a scoop and flat-paddle stirrer. All the items just go in the bag loosely along with your supply of filters and maybe your coffee depending on how much you want to take. It makes for a lumpy bag but it keeps everything in place for easy retrieval.I hope this answered your question. Let me know if anything requires clarification.

Sandwich size is the same. Handles are just longer to keep further from flame when cooking

Just longer handles. Sandwiches are not huge but a nice size for child or woman. Men might need 2.

About 2". When fully extended it gets to be about 5". There is also a clear,plastic sandwich case included that is about 1.5/2" as well that fits inside but does not stack.

Susan, mine is 9 and 1/4 '' long including the handle and 5 and 1/2" across. It's cute and the perfect size for a grilled cheese sandwich.

The 13" is a big loaf, so it's certainly going to be either the L or XL. If you use a breadmaker, then you want this pan! It's known as a Pullman pan or a Pain de Mie pan. The loaves are baked with the lid on, this gives a perfectly square sandwich slice and minimal crust, perfect for sandwiches. I don't even buy bread anymore, It's so easy to make in my breadmaker and bake in my Pullman, that buying bread just doesn't make any sense. The King Arthur Flour website has tons of recipes specifically developed for this pan, and they work great with a breadmaker. If you're considering this pan, consider no longer. Just buy it. And don't get a similar one, get the USA Pan brand, you'll thank me the first time you wash it (all it needs to be wiped out with a paper towel). It's truly a great pan and it makes great bread. Search the King Arthur site for "Pain de Mie", you'll find recipes specifically for this pan and specifically for the smaller pan. Those recipes should give you an idea how to set your breadmaker.

It's 11 1/2" x 8 1/2". You can make 2 sandwiches at once. I use this a lot. Especially good with Artisan breads

No..the press is 7&3/4 wide and the bottom of the 8" pan is less than 6", but I use mine on my 10 inch pan even though it leaves space on the sides, it works like a charm. Just move it around on the bacon or what ever and you get desired results.

Don't know the exact height but it is small in height and width. Just convient enough for pop 1 full size plate and side door for sandwiches. It is not a tall unit. Just right for my dad's needs.

With the press and ring you can make the burgers as thick or thin as you want. The storage units are good for up to a half inch.

I don't knoe dimensions but used this press one time and it was a dud from beginning to end of process. Buyer beware.

It appears to be a millimeter of two larger in diameter than my Bodum French press. I had the same thought, to maybe just use the parts from my old press, but unfortunately they are just slightly smaller and don't work.

Hello and thanks for asking ... as my answer will save you a lot of grief and dollars. Even Bodum coffee presses are different sizes. I ordered this Beeker and it was too wide at the bottom to fit. The company, when contacted, told me that I had to pay the postage back PLUS a 25% restocking fee. It wasn't worth the effort or cost. I would never purchase from this company again. I hope that my answer has helped you. perhaps if you contacted the company that made your press ... they could supply you with the correct replacement . :)
