Charbroilers, griddles, and presses are kitchen mainstays used to prepare a variety of food using countertop space. Crepe and waffle makers cook crepe or waffle batter. Sandwich presses, also known as panini presses, use heated plates to compress and cook food such as sandwiches, burritos, and quesadillas. Countertop griddles cook high volumes of food on a flat, heated surface. Charbroilers use an open flame and a grate to cook food.
