Graduate Nest Egg Proposal: Panini Maker / Sandwich Press This proposal aims to make events like TGIF and theory lunch even more hot and delicious through the use of advanced European food-heating technology. One or two panini makers could help turn our sandwich-based events into exciting, toasty gatherings of happy people. The estimated cost for such a device is between $40 and $100, with total cost to not exceed $140 (incl. shipping). The panini maker(s) will be kept in the third floor kitchen, possibly on the counter (joining the microwave and coffee maker) or locked in a cabinet. The TGIF czars will be responsible for their care and security.
