Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron 8" Round Grill Press

This is a good quality iron grill press! I used parchment paper between the press and the burger meat just so there is less to clean as far as food debris. I cleaned the press with soapy water and dried with towel. No sign of rust on the item but when laid on my drying mat, there was rust residue. No harm no foul. What would you expect from an iron item, huh?! Haha Loved the way the smash burgers we made came out! Highly recommend getting a press :)

Made my first ever smash burgers and this tool made it effortless and they were a 'smash' at the family get together. Highly recommended.

Works well, especially for steaks and smashburgers. It's heavy enough to obtain a good sear. The handle heats up quickly, so use a pot holder. I wish it came with a base or holder. If you need to set it aside momentarily, you'll need a stack of paper towels to prevent a mess.

It works very good for the amount I paid for it. Bought it for a gift for my son in law. Used it while grilling and on the stove.

Lodge products are the best

I have other large cookware products but I have never had a iron press. I’m looking forward to using this indoors and outdoors for my grilled cheese my bacon my hamburgers and maybe even Panini‘s that I can use on my outside grill. It comes preseason but I always preseason it myself again by putting vegetable oil on it and baking in a very hot oven for an hour. You can’t go wrong with Lodge cookware and they’re priced reasonably.

I just got a new Lodge Cast Iron Grill Press. Food always tastes better when using cast iron I guess because that is what I grew up with at my home. This Press is already seasoned for use this keeps it from rusting and it should last a lifetime. It is about 8 inches round. My first use was frying four hamburgers in a skillet by just pressing down on the meat with the press and leaving it on there to keep the grease splatter down. It can be used to keep your bacon flat so it fries faster and more even. It will be great for making my husband his favorite, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. This would be a perfect addition to your outdoor grill or even indoors in your kitchen. I like this product and would highly recommend it.

This grill press is heavy! This is going to be a fun and food filled summer! I like the size and durability of the press. Cast iron is a great and indestructible way to make tasty grilled meats that may otherwise end up tough and uncooked all the way through. So I am excited!

We love using this press at our house with Cuban bread. It’s such an easy way to create a super crunchy exterior. I have also used it to flatten bacon while cooking. I like it because it’s smaller than most and not oddly shaped. It’s easy for me to store. I like that the lodge pans come pre-seasoned. It’s so much easier for me to maintain.

Too heavy handle gets hot in the bottom surface isn't smooth lotta little tiny debits that filled with food hard to clean
