Norpro 8.75-Inch Cast Iron Bacon Press with Wood Handle, Round

On a whim, my wife unexpectedly bought a7 x 3" rectangular grill press to see if we could make paninis at home. The first attempt was successful, so I researched the subject online and discovered that there was a hidden field of cookware I knew nothing about. After watching videos and doing a little research, I selected and ordered the Norpro 9" round press, mainly because of its wooden handle, less likely to to be prone to overheating. (Other brands use coiled metal). I was not disappointed. Instructions for care and seasoning were provided, which I followed, and I have been using the press regularly and successfully, several times a week. I continue to experiment with different breads, skillet temperatures and cooking times to perfect my result.
