Product Description

Even the best cut bacon can curl, making it difficult to cook evenly. Norpro's Cast Iron Bacon/Grill Press flattens the bacon, keeping it's shape for even cooking and the wooden handle stays cool while the press is in use. To speed up the process, pre-heat the press. Includes instructions for seasoning before use, cleaning and storage.

Great utensil October 29, 2006
Perfect size and weight for a 12" skillet. Keeps the bacon, chops flat for even frying while preventing any splatters. High quality materials. You won't cook bacon again without this indespensible utensil. Easy 5 stars for this great product.

Ditto ... great press! July 5, 2007
By VT
Amazon Verified Purchase
W. Hooper's review is right on! Bacon cooks faster, flatter, and with much less spatter. This truly is the perfect size for a 12 inch pan ... wouldn't want a different size/shape! Clean up is a sanp. Proper care (seasoning before first use, and oiling) is required, but it's easy enough to do. Also great for grilled cheese/panini sandwiches.

Best Flat Pig Ever! April 1, 2010
By roketdr
Amazon Verified Purchase
It's round, it's firm, and it's fully packed! Consequently it was delivered in fine condition. You can tell it's a bacon press because it has a raised relief pig on it. Without the pig it would just be a press. And we all know that the press is biased these days. Whereas a bacon press should be unbiased. And this one is nicely flat, with ridges on the bottom to promote appropriate grease expulsion during the cooking process.

I had carefully selected this item based on extensive measurements of my main bacon frying implement, "Old Reliable". Old Rel is a 10 inch cast iron frying pan of uncertain provenance. Amazon.com carried three bacon presses, but this one would make a perfect partner to Old Rel, based on the principle of similar diameters.

I seasoned the bacon press according to directions. I must say that the seasoning directions did not work. After following them twice, the bacon press still had a raw cast iron smell to it. The directions appear to be a compromised attempt to season the bacon press without having to burn the handle in a hot oven, or take the handle off. I may need to remove the handle and submit the rest to the fiery depths of my oven for an extended time -- suitably anointed for the ordeal (the bacon press, not me). Meanwhile I shall endeavor to persevere, and hope that over time the succulent bits of bacon fat will provide the perfect seasoning through normal use.

I lay the cold strips of bacon into the cold frying pan. I turn the heat on. I lay the bacon press gently over the bacon. I wait. Soon, the sizzling sound begets an odor, and the odor a salacious longing for my favorite breakfast treat. After several minutes of cooking (and longing), I lift the bacon press. Lo! There be flat cooked bacon! As if by magic it transfers to a plate already draped with paper towel for drainage. The bacon cools and dries for 60 seconds. I admire the bacon's flatness, its planarity, evenness, flushness with the plate. The bacon is flat as a pancake, flat as a fluke, flat as a flounder, flat as a board, flat as my hand! But my rapture ends as I cannot stand it anymore. I devour the bacon! And it was good. (No cast iron taste.)

Stay tuned for further adventures in pressed sandwich land!

Great find
This bacon press works fantastic for bacon, grilled cheese sandwiches or anything that needs slight compression on the grill. Love it. Read more

Good but ...
This is a good product but the wooden handle rotates in the holder so if you don't hold the press horizontal it can rotate and hit your hand or forearm.

Couldn't find one of these anywhere and very happy with the product and price on Amazon. Purchased as a gift for my mother and she really enjoyed it.

bacon press
Fits my pan perfect. Bacon is crispy and doesn't shrink as much. Did learn to turn the heat a little lower and not to cook as long. Works great on burgers also.

It's a slab of metal with a handle... great for bacon and burgers
With the amount of bacon that gets consumed in my house I'm surprised we didn't get one of these sooner. Unlike another reviewer, I wouldn't say that it fits a 12" pan "perfectly". Read more

Easy to season right on your stove top. Does a great job on bacon, although there is a learning curve if you have never used a bacon press before. Read more

great item
I'm not sure why some are having trouble with this item rusting other than they don't know how to season cast iron properly.. This press does just what it's supposed to do.. Read more

Good product, but not the best way to cook bacon
This is a well-made, high-quality product. It is no harder to maintain than any other cast iron cookware, which means it must be kept seasoned with a coating of baked-on oil to... Read more
