Pre-Seasoned, Round Grilling Accessory, Cast Iron Grill Press with Easy Grip Wooden Handle Ideal for Bacon, Burgers, Panini, and Steaks, 7-Inch Surface with Grill Marks by Commercial Chef

I really like this press, and was looking for one that would fit in my smallest frying pan so I could cook my veggie burgers on both sides without pulling out the George Foreman grill when just cooking for one. I mist the pan with oil and set the press inside the pan while it preheats. Top my burger with the press to speed up the cooking time and crisp up the tops. Works very well. Reason I bought this one over others was because of the size and the grill ridges on it. They are not as deep as others and taper at the end so food does not get stuck inside the ridges, and there is more heat touching the surface of my food. Leaves nice grill marks. Easy to clean, just wipe a sponge across it when done using, rinse with hot water and dry with a paper towel and a dab of oil to keep seasoned and prevent rust formation. Handle is secure, and no rust problems after using this for months now. Would recommend you look at closely at the pictures of the grill ridges and see why I think this one is superior to other presses at similar price points.

This press is solid, hefty and has grooves to put lines on the steaks or burgers. Been using it for some months now with no rust spots.

Great heavy cast iron for smash burgers , bacon, any meat u want to lay flat and cook evenly.

Pretty much perfect except for the fact that the wooden handle turns. There are times I would like to not only be able to lift the press straight up , but also to hold it at and an angle to be able to peel off stuck on bits while it is being used. If you try to do this, most times the handle will turn on the screws holding it on or the handle gets a bit greasy and I cannot hold on to it tight enough to keep it from turning back to a horizontal position. Needless to say, it is HOT at that point and I have been close to burning myself several times. For my needs, it needs a textured wooden handle and a method to stop the handle from rotating.

circumference is perfect for small skillet, easy grip handle, weighted just enough to cook meat evenly
