Overview
Brentwood makes the TS-246 as a countertop panini press with non-stick grill plates closed by a cool-touch housing. Plug it in, wait for the preheat light, and a sandwich pressed between the plates takes grill lines on both sides at once.
Speed and simplicity carry it: the plates heat fast and even, two lights say when it is on and when it is ready, and the whole unit stands on end with its cord wrapped when done. The limitation is control, because nothing in the listing adjusts temperature or opens the plates flat, and plate size is not stated.
Who it's for
Students, couples and office kitchens that want a pressed sandwich without an oven are the buyers here. Upright storage suits a crowded counter. Cooks who want to grill meat with a temperature dial should look at a larger contact grill.
Pros and cons
- Non-stick plates, PFAS and PFOA free
- Preheat and power indicator lights
- Cool-touch handles and housing
- Handles lock for carrying
- Temperature control and plate size not listed
- Small capacity per round
Performance notes
Even browning comes from the plates reaching temperature before the sandwich goes in, which is why the preheat light matters more than the wattage figure. Pressure from the top plate flattens the bread into the grill ridges, so a tall sandwich comes out compressed. Cool-touch housing and non-skid feet matter when sliding a pressed sandwich off the plates.
