bumblebee,

I too have a Wolfgang Puck pannini grill and it really does a good job
on steaks as well as hamburgers. Since moving east and going from a
house to an apartment, I do not have the luxury of grilling any more.
I have used strip steaks, T-bone, and filet mignons -- they all have
come out really good. The Puck pannini grill cooks faster than the
George Foreman, is much easier to clean -- the grill plates come out
and you can clean it manually or put it in the dishwasher. However, I
would not recommend doing this to preserve the nonstick finish.

I have not made panninis with mine, but it did a good job of a grilled
cheese sandwich, and French toast.
