Lodge 20.96 cm / 8.25 inch Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Panini Press

Fantastic piece of kit. Ensures a nice even sear and speeds up the cooking time. Win win! Buy one. But conceal the price from the wife:)

Nice and heavy, good for paninis and bacon though I wouldn't squish burgers or steaks with it! Only criticism is it's a bit small.

Great accessory to the grill pan and skillet especially when cooking chicken fillet. I do heat it though before use. Needs to be left undisturbed on the fillet to avoid the fillet tearing.

Very nice. Just a little rough around the edges

The grill press itself is of a good quality but… If used over meat it just sweats it and instead of frying/grilling you end up with boiled meat. This however will happen to any other sort of a press, so I am not sure if I can mark it as a product’s fault. As I said it’s great for cheese toasties on the hob and for smashing/tinning my meats before cooking. I also use it to roughly ground spices, so I guess I’ve found it’s purpose in my kitchen 🤷‍♀️

Arrived with damaged enamel and starting rust. But other than that, does what it says on the tin.

Handle is made out of cast iron so the press can be put in the oven and heated up for extra toasty panini goodness.

Costs as much as a small skillet pan but save on cooking time, highly recommended if you want criss-cross patterns on your meats with just one flip!

I haven't used mine yet, but, just by the sheer weight of it I can already tell it's going to make an excellent smashed burger. Plus, it's 8" not 6", so I can make larger burgers for my husband. I would highly recommend it, especially for cooking on an iron skillet.

As always with lodge cast iron items , the best of the best.

木製の取っ手が付いていないのをあえて選択しました。 リフターを持っていないのであればお勧めはしません。 ミトンやタオルでも厳しいかと思います。厚手の皮手袋は必要なくらい熱くなります。 かなり重くよくできています。 オープンな鉄板なら問題は有りません。底がフラットしか持って居ませんでしたので楽しみです
