What's the best way to clean a panini press with non-removable sides?

Best way to clean a panini press with non-removable sides? I had a grilled cheese party last night (thanks AskMefi!) and now have to clean a few panini presses. The sides are not removable and I'm not sure how to tackle this. I've tried heating them up and then scrubbing, but there is still plenty of grease inside the grooves. Any tips? Best cleaning fluid? A secret old wives tale with rubber bands and a toothpick that I'm missing?

Help me choose a waffle/sandwich maker?

I'm looking for a good waffle/sandwich maker. But according to various Amazon reviews of various products, they all suck? Oh, come on!! Hive mind, please recommend a good waffle/sandwich maker? Or separate machines, if it comes to that. Regarding the kind of sandwich press: I don't know if I prefer panini, or the kind of sandwich where a square piece of bread gets pressed into two triangles. The end product is similar to me - pressed bread, melty insides, right? But feel free to correct my barbaric ways.

How to Stuff a Wild Panini

I have a Snackster. It makes yummy sandwiches that look like this. More yummy sandwiches are wanted. There have been a few sandwich posts here, but none that deal specifically with stuffed sandwiches and panini type sandwiches, which is what I'm after.

In addition to grilled cheese of every kind imaginable, I've made Reubens with great success, and have done a sort of Panera artichoke and turkey and caramelized onion sandwich, and have made mini calzones of sauces and cheese. What else can I try? Yep, I know how to google for recipes - I'm looking for sandwiches that you yourself have known and loved personally. My Snackster is hot and looking for action!
