[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this to go along with the square grill pan. Perfect fit and heavy weight. Very versatile- it can be used for grilling steaks and burgers, frying bacon so it doesn't curl, and of course making paninis and grilled cheese. I love my Staub cookware.
Purchased this grill press to make Chicken Under a Brick. Works so much better than using an actual brick! Used on my outside grill and achieved excellent results. Great grill marks, and ready in no time. Anxious to make a Panini using this.
So versatile! This works perfectly with the Staub 12" grill pan but has many other uses. The black matte finish helps to create a perfect searing surface and helps any food cook more quickly without drying out. The grill press can with stand temperatures up to 500F and can be used on any cooking surface, even your BBQ.
I love using this as a weigh when I am making any kind of grilled/pressed sandwich because it is the perfect size to fit into my 12" grill pan. I can use this to weigh down bone in chicken breasts to get them a little flatter so they cook more evenly.
I love this grill press. The knob is long enough you are sure not touch the grill itself when handling. It also has a nice weight behind it to ensure you get a great press.
This press is perfect for my grill pan. It makes perfect sandwhiches and paninis. It is great when you're indoor grilling chicken because you will get incredible grill marks (color is flavor) plus it will decrease cooking time. I use it on my outdoor grill too.
