- Reviewed in Canada on June 21, 2022Verified PurchaseI am glad that I payed no notice to the nay/negative comments and went ahead and purchased this tool.
I have a 12" Cast iron frypan that this grill press fits perfectly, no it is too big for the Lodge 9" pan!
Also works great with a Countertop Flat Top Grill.
Since it is cast iron I just set it directly on a Med-High stove burner and it gets plenty hot where a glove is needed, then press down on bread and viola, proper grill marks!
I also wanted to address the rust issue, so far a non-issue for me and my six cast iron pans, however if you should get rust just use a steel scrubber pad and spray with a light coating of cooking spray and you're back in business.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 20, 2025Verified PurchaseI’ve seen some in different store, they were not near as heavy as this one is. I haven’t had the chance to use it yet. BBQ season is just around the corner. Can’t wait.

- Reviewed in Canada on April 15, 2021Verified Purchase*Review Update*
I had originally given the Cuisinart Cast Iron Grill Press a score of 2 stars only. However, after using it for a couple of months now on my griddle, I'm upping the score to 4. Basically, I initially had given a low score because I wasn't using it right
It has helped tremendously with steaks and burgers. It allows the meat to cook evenly & quickly. It also prevents bulges you'd get from heat all while keeping the right amount of juices inside. The only issues I have is that it's too big to use with my iron skillet and the wooden handle feels flimsy/low quality.
I'll be looking to buy a few more for my outdoor griddle!

4.0 out of 5 stars Paketleme yetersiz.
Verified PurchaseÜrün güzel ancak doğru bir şekilde paketlenmediğı için ahşap olan kısmın kenarı kargo paketinden kırık olarak çıktı. Ürünün değerini ve tarafınızdan verilen onca hizmeti gölgede bırakıyor. Dikkat edilmesi gerekirdi.
