Amazon.com Product Description
While most chefs use a spatula to squeeze out fat from burgers and other meats, the process is a bit unwieldy and not always effective. Enter this grill press from Lodge, which features a heavy-duty cast-iron base that efficiently flattens your meats while on the grill or burner. The press offers a perfect way to drain fat from beef, eliminate curl from bacon and ham strips, and hold heat within grilled-cheese and panini sandwiches. As with all Lodge Logic items, the press is preseasoned through a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system. The preseasoning process readies the press for cooking right out of the box, making it far more convenient than old-style cast-iron items that required seasoning before use. The cast-iron base is not only heavy, but also attractive thanks to its unique hammered finish. In addition, chefs will find it easy to wield due to the "cool grip" spiral handle. The press measures 6-3/4 by 4-1/2 inches, so it'll work on most outdoor grills and in many indoor skillets. Lodge recommends hand washing the press with a stiff brush and hot water for best results. It also carries a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews

Not just for Carnivores!
I am a vegetarian and I use this grill press all the time. It's great for grilled sandwiches! It will help you make great stuffed french toast. Your hashbrowns won't be a sloppy, crumbly mess anymore. This heavy little bugger is perfect for the aforementioned applications and about 40,000 more but the thing I use it for on almost a daily basis is preparing tofu. That magical bean curd benefits tremendously from the steady pressure of a hot lodge grill press!

the press
I bought this for my inside grill. I found when I cooked pork chops the corners wouldn't be quite done because they liked to curl up slightly. This has totally fixed my problem. I do have to adjust my cooking time because the press is a bit heavy & the meat cooks more quickly than before.

Double-duty as a small sandwich/panini and meat press.
This press heavy enough for use as a small meat or sandwich press. You may need to get another one if you like to cook for a large group or like to cook different things in a large pan.

You will still need to season it a bit for sandwiches or they will stick. If you are just frying bacon, then the original finish will also season up in no time.

A basic, no-nonsense product. Handle will get hot.
