A versatile performer, this panini grill and press set in chianti red from Mario Batali is perfect for grilling Italian panini sandwiches made thin and crisp with the heavy press/lid as well as searing steaks, chicken and fish filets. The pan's cast iron core guarantees even heat distribution, so your food won't burn, and it's been given a matte enamel coating on the interior of the pan that requires no seasoning or special care. Oils used and created when cooking penetrate the pores of the matte enamel to create a natural, smooth, nonstick surface, which provides easy food release and quick cleanup. The grilling surface measures 11 by 11 inches. The heavy lid is accented with a cast stainless steel knob, and it's further complemented by a helper handle for easy lifting and transport to the table. Safe for gas, electric and ceramic-top ranges. Hand wash only. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
