Lodge Lodge Flat Iron Grill Press,Black,8.25 inch

I purchased another cast iron flat grill press and was sorely disappointed. The stainless steel knob broke off in my hand as I was lifting it out of the pan. Fortunately, when the lid dropped it fell right back into the pan and I was able to jump back from the splattering bacon grease. This was a tough lesson to learn from experience. Lodge is worth the extra money, as now I have a durable grill press. My husband was skeptical about a need for another press but is a believer. The weight is perfect for making crispy hash browns, delectable paninis, quesadillas, salmon, etc... I would highly recommend this grill press without reservations. Rinse well after use, scrub with a chain metal cloth and oil before storing.

This flat iron grill press fits perfectly in the square pan. This combo is great for bacon and works well for other meats too. Also great for grilled sandwiches. You can preheat the Press on a burner at low heat, and then set it atop your food in the pan. Or just use it as a press and flip your food so the grilling only comes from the pan (not the press). What I like the most about this press is that there are no screws or rivets to hold the handle on. It's all one solid piece of cast iron. The bottom is one continuous flat piece. I love Lodge cast iron, and am very happy to add this to my collection. Highly recommend.

My wife has used this several times now, and it seems to work great at both keeping the bacon strip flatter (cook more evenly) and it reduces the spatter, too. It is heavy, though not designed for doing curls in the kitchen, but it is light enough so that my wife also can chase me around the house with it - much lighter than the old frying pan. Seriously, it is right-sized and works well with our iron frying pans. Looking foward to trying it on the grill this season, too. It simply does what is expected.

Works well, my issue is that mine is not truly flat. The middle of the press is convex meaning it can spin around when on a really flat surface (it is a very very minute "wobble") . I'm nit-picking because you really won't notice it when you have food cooking under it, but after cleaning and storing it in my square Lodge skillet or even just setting it on a counter top, it is very noticeable. Like I said it doesn't really affect the way it performs. It does a nice job keeping bacon flat and crispy and cuts the cooking time in half. 4 stars for advertising it as flat when it really isn't. :) I added my own seasoning and I suggest every one does the same when buying Lodge cast iron products.

Too soon to review use. Item just arrived. Looks like I expected. Excellent Lodge quality as always. Am going to use it to make grilled cheese sandwiches & paninis so perfect size.

Great for steaks! I heat the grill press on burner between med high and high(quite hot) same with my square lodge skillet. Place steaks in skillet and place press on top. It sears both sides very nicely. Steaks cook quickly and stay nice and juicy. Also works well with pork loin chops, chicken breasts, hamburgers and more. The key to using this press is heating it hot enough. No problems with sticking if you give the meat a light spray of pam before setting the press on it. I use it almost daily. Don't forget to use a good mitt or hot pad when handling(ask me how I know).

Easy to use weight that holds heat, flattens chicken for browning, and grill cheese. I've used heavy pans in the past however balancing on top of food require constant monitoring. This product is easy to use and oven safe. Will last a lifetime. Recommended.

This is my 2nd Lodge piece, after my Lodge griddle (which is why I got it). I'm glad I decided on this, rather than the more narrow press. Covers a bunch of bacon strips at once. This press covers half the cooking surface of the Lodge griddle at at time. It is great reducing the cook time for bacon, help cuts down on grease spattering, and of course keeps bacon nice and flat. When used with the ridged side of the griddle, makes fantastic paninis. I used small Ciabatta rolls and was able to press two at a time using this wide press. I also used it to cover a mound of shredded potatoes for breakfast, resulting in a nice crispy potato pancake-like breakfast side dish.

持ち手ネジ止めが気に入らず 一体型でしたので買いました。 革手袋かリフターは必要です。

Excelente calidad muy útil en la parrillada

Doesn't stick, very low maintenance required. Fits my lodge 10" grill pan perfectly.

La pressa è liscia, di buon peso, con ottima impugnatura. Forse più indicata come panini press e non burger press dato che è quella con lato flat. La differenza di prezzo con quella rigata però, a mio parere, non giustifica l'acquisto della seconda. Ovviamente paghiamo l'importazione USA, dato che nel loro hanno un costo pressoché identico e notevolmente inferiore. In Italia o andiamo su Le Creuset, e i costi lievitano, o ci affidiamo a Lodge che, a mio parere, è meno rifinita ma sicuramente meno delicata.

Actually just used today for the first time making grilled cheese sandwiches and it worked perfectly!! 👌
