Put your panini(s) on a baking sheet, put another baking sheet on top, then complete the stack with something heavy and oven-proof. I use my dutch oven. Still no grill marks, but the pressing helps a lot. Depending on your bread you might want to hit both sheets with cooking spray. I actually have a panini maker and still do them in the oven for dinner parties so I can make a ton at once. Note for the oven-users:

Such an easy way to make paninis with something I already have! And it has the nice grill marks and everything. My husband and I fell in love with paninis while we were on our honeymoon in Paris, so I've considered investing in a panini grill... but so far I haven't found any good reason that my George Foreman doesn't do the same thing.
