Evelots Cast Iron Burger Press - Heavy Duty Pre-Seasoned Burger Smasher for Grill - Weighted Press for Meat, Grilled Cheese, Panini - Cook Evenly & Faster - Round Wood Handle

I was pressing my grilled cheese and paninis with the bottom side of a plate. I could never find the right size to press the sandwich. This product is perfect. It is just the right size and heavy enough to press . Ity washes easily and small enough to store in your cabinet

We recently have been using thick cut bacon and have had problems getting it full length crispy the way we like.My wife discovered this bacon press and I thought it was worth a try at a very reasonable price. It is sturdy and came with advice on “seasoning” the press for the first use. It worked beautifully and the effect on the bacon was exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend this item and would buy again.

Very heavy and smaller than the bacon slices. I cut the slices in half and it worked fine.

I use my electric skillet for almost everything I cook since I don't have a bbq grill (apt living) and my oven is broken. Naturally this is great for meats like steaks, burgers and boneless chicken, but I especially like it to toast English muffins, bread and grill cheese sandwiches.

This is one of my favorite things in my very tiny kitchen which has necessarily high admission standards. I have an electric panini press but I use this a hundred times more often, for paninis and also for getting plenty of surface contact for veggies. If you eat without using oils, this is really helpful for crisping up food and at the same time keeps the food from drying out in the middle. The weight is just right - it keeps food in contact and gently compressed, but if you want to flatten it you can push down as much as you need to. The wood handle has this really nice solid heft and the round shape fits inside a skillet (I may be missing the point of the rectangular ones but I don’t see how they would work for me). Even though my electric panini press folds up and stores pretty compactly, I might have let it go in favor of just this.

Great quality and value for the price. I would buy again

I recommend this :)

It works well on bacon, but really flattens out a hamburger. Fairly heavy and you must clean and dry it quickly or it will rust.
