3.0 out of 5 stars good design / bad casting, January 30, 2009

Indeed, one of the few that do not have a screw going through the casting and one of the heaviest, as they make them now - i.e. good for bacon, but not for the thick cuts - not enough weight.
Well-assembled, but with poor casting. Nowhere near smooth, so meat will stick to it.
Honest 3/5. Probably, excellent for bacon, not so great for steaks.

This item is one of the best products possible to use in cooking meats. I have did chicken breast and salmon in a skillet so far and it conviently decreases the cooking time but increases the juiciness and tenderness of the meat. I am looking forward to using it on my new barbecue grill and today is the 4th of July...:)

4.0 out of 5 stars it has more uses than I expected, January 8, 2011

This review is from: Charcoal Companion Cast Iron 8-3/4-Inch by 4-1/2-Inch Rectangular Grill Press (Lawn & Patio)

I don't know if this grill press is the best out there. It's the first I've owned. I can say it's been a pleasant surprise. It's hefty, solid and has large surface area. It works great to flatten bacon, and speeds up cooking burgers. It fits well in a large pan or cast iron skillet. Today I needed to press the water out of some tofu to fry it, and the grill press is perfect for it. I think this is the kind of item that will have more and more uses as time goes by.

My only complaint, the handle is on a screw, and loosens from time-to-time, requiring a few turns of a screwdriver to tighten back up. Otherwise I like and recommend this press.
