Great deal and product

This grill press is a game changer! It’s heavy-duty, well-made, and the wooden handle stays cool, which is a nice touch. I’ve used it for burgers, bacon, and even paninis—it presses everything evenly and gives that perfect sear. Definitely worth it if you love grilling or cooking on a griddle. Great quality for the price!

Ordered these for my son as a Christmas gift. They are big and heavy Can't wait to have some smash burgers! Speedy shipping and nice quality!

He like them to fry bacon with.

This press is heavy enough to put a fantastic crust on both sides of your steak or meat, it also works for many other foods like bacon. It is not too heavy but just heavy enough to get the job done beautifully. Highly recommended (for steak, chicken, fish, Turkey etc I recommend the flat press).

I am impressed with the quality of this item. Seems like it should last for a couple of generations.

When it comes to elevating your culinary game, having the right tools at your disposal can make all the difference. Enter the LEVIASHER 2.2 lbs Heavy Duty Cast Iron Griddle Press with Wood Handle, a versatile kitchen accessory designed to take your grilling and cooking experience to the next level.Let me preface this review by stating that initially, my wife and I were skeptical about using a griddle press. We held onto the belief that pressing down on burgers or steaks would result in loss of flavor due to squeezing out the juices. However, after witnessing the rise in popularity of smashburgers, we decided to give it a try. And let me tell you, we're glad we did.First impressions matter, and this griddle press didn't disappoint. While we received a different model than the one we initially ordered, opting for the rectangular strips, we found that the granular pattern didn't significantly impact its performance. The cast iron construction exudes durability and reliability, reassuring us of its ability to withstand the rigors of our cooking adventures.Before diving into its culinary capabilities, we took the time to season the cast iron surface with a light layer of oil. Not only does this prevent rusting, but it also facilitates easier cleaning after each use, ensuring the longevity of the griddle press. Plus, the seasoned surface adds a depth of flavor to our dishes, enhancing the overall taste profile.One of the standout features of this griddle press is its versatility. While traditionally used to press down on burgers or steaks to achieve that perfect sear, we found that it serves multiple purposes in our kitchen. We experimented with using it to help sear in flavors, even on the side that wasn't directly cooking. By preheating the press on the barbecue before placing our steaks on the grill, we were able to lock in moisture and enhance the caramelization process. Flipping the steak and placing the heated press on the partially cooked side allowed for heat to penetrate from both the top and bottom, resulting in a beautifully seared exterior and tender interior.Cleanup was a breeze thanks to the cast iron construction. After each use, we simply wiped down the griddle press to remove any food particles, being sure to leave a thin layer of grease to maintain its seasoned surface. This not only simplifies the cleaning process but also ensures that the griddle press remains ready for the next culinary adventure.While we initially had expectations of receiving a different model, the performance of the griddle press surpassed our expectations. Despite the minor discrepancy, the rectangular strips provided an aesthetic appeal reminiscent of a panini press, adding a touch of flair to our cooking process.The LEVIASHER press is a reliable and versatile addition to any kitchen arsenal. Whether you're grilling up burgers, searing steaks, or creating gourmet paninis, this heavy-duty press delivers consistent results with every use. While there may have been a slight deviation from our initial expectations, the performance and durability of the griddle press more than compensate for any minor discrepancies. If you're looking to take your culinary creations to new heights, look no further than the LEVIASHER Cast Iron Griddle Press.

This is a great tool to make sure your grounded meat is fully cooked. Restaurants use these to cook their meat patties. Instead of using your spatula to keep pressure on the meat while it is cooking, use this. It will do a better job and free you to prepare the meal.The metal will absorb the heat from the skillet and help to cook the meat. I like to give it a start by putting it directly on the heating element for a short while, until it becomes nice and hot. This greatly speed up the cooking time.I also like the cooked stripes it gives to the meat patties. If you don't use a grill or a BBQ, this is the second best thing.
