Cuisinart Cast Iron Grill Press with Wooden Handle, Heavy Duty Nonstick Rectangle Burger Press with Wood Handle, Perfect Grill Accessory for Steak, Bacon, Paninis and More

Great for cooking steak, burgers and bacon. Its sleek and Sturdy material.

I Love Cuisinart. I have a Cuisinart Panini press, but since its not an appliance I use daily, it is put away with other infrequently used electrical appliances, like my waffle iron. I have MASSIVE amounts of cast iron, and I am Lodge cast iron all the way. I decided to buy a lodge square grill pan and a press so I could just grab and use those easier than dragging out the panini press for only one sandwich. I broke my Lodge only for cast iron rule and went with the Cuisinart cast iron press because of the lighter weight. I want my sandwiches grilled not smooshed to smithereenes. Pros.. the weight is perfect, and the wood handle does not get hot. It does press evenly, and does not squish everything flat. Cons.. I let it set on my ceramic top burner at the same temp and length of time as my brand new ordered at the same time, Lodge cast iron grill pan. It did not get even close to hot enought to leave a single line on the bread😲. Part of my reason for getting it was to be able to sorta cheat and grill both sides of the sandwich at once. The worst part of it.. and this is totally my fault.. I must not have paid emough attention to sizes.. it only fits sideways in the grill pan. It is larger than the skillet otherwise. So you need to grill your sandwich sideways in the direction that leaves you using your spatula in the opposite direction of the “grates/ridges” of the skillet. This is not fun. So.. it works perfect as a press, has just the right amount of weight to it, and if all you want is a flat press that does not leave grill marks on your food, and are planning on using it with a larger skillet than the lodge grill skillet sold here on Amazon.. you’ll love it. If you are planning on using it on a grill... not sure if the handle is built for that.

Worked great - great gift!

Purchased mainly for frying bacon, keeping the bacon flat so it's cooked more evenly. Also for keeping hamburger patties from shrinking too much.

If you have a griddle, I would recommend this grill press to help your cooking. It has a wooden handle, so it won't get too hot, it's quite large, and of decent weight. Great for using as a bacon press, putting some weight on proteins, and if you want to make a grilled burrito or quesadilla. The downside is that it is cast iron, so it will rust if you don't take care of it, and it's not the easiest to clean. However, this is a good product, and I would recommend it for griddle owners. Note: Since the handle is made of wood, I would not recommend using it in a very hot bbq or gas grill.

I love the grill market im able to get on my steaks. Makes them feel more authentic from the stove top

My husband and I pan sear bones less, skinless chicken breast almost every night! This weight allows for evenly cooking the chicken on both sides with he perfect amount of weight and heat! It fits perfectly in our pan and results in perfectly cooked chicken almost every night!

Works great
