I love this press! It fits beautifully into my favorite pan and covers all the bacon (or whatever) without risking scratching the teflon sides. It is solidly built, no wobbles to the joint of the handle, and well-balanced. It is very comfortable to use, which is important to me as I have severe problems with arthritis. If I ever need a grill press for a gift, this will be the one I look for!

I've been satisfied with Old Mountain products previously, and this one is no exception. It's solidly built, nice and heavy, and the coil handle does cool reasonably quickly. My only minor complaint is that the heads of the screws holding the handle on are exposed on the bottom of the press, and mine protruded slightly when we received it. I tightened them down and it's been fine, and I suppose if you're using this with other cast iron cookware, there's no real danger of damaging anything, but it wasn't exactly what I'd expected.

This bacaon press makes getter near-perfect bacon everytime easy. I'm sorry that I had not bought one years ago.

This is the best invention for grilling on top of the stove. Use it with the grill pan. Chicken comes out so tasty. It cooks faster and stays moist. I don't know how I did without it.

This is an everyday press I use in cooking not only bacon but just about everything in my round cast iron pans that require a press. You will not regret buying this one. It's heavy duty and good quality. And honestly, NO ONE sells cast iron like Amazon and their shipping is crazy. Don't know how they do it, but I'm glad they do!

The heaviest press I could find available on Amazon, great size too. I replaced the metric bolts fastening the handle with stainless steel ones & added stainless steel lock & flat washers I got at my local Ace hardware store which is a worthwhile upgrade which won't break the bank since I only paid $16.40 & got the Super Saver Free Shipping. You can't beat this for the price. As per other reviews complaining about the handle getting hot, yes they will all get hot if left in place on a hot grill etc. for any length of time more than 5 minutes especially on bacon but I'm using mine specifically for pressing Cuban & Paganini style sandwiches so it doesn't get so hot since there's obviously a thicker medium which offers more insulation from the hot grill. At any rate it's just the nature of the beast, so if you can't take the heat stay out of the kitchen or at least use some common sense & get something in your hand before you grab it like a towel or pot holder, traditional or silicone, your choice... Take it from a worldwide professional sous chef of over 25 years!!! There is no glamor in being a chef, it's a damn hot & fast paced environment where you're going to cut & burn yourself repeatedly over the years no matter your skill level or knowledge base, it's only a matter of when the next time will be... Get over it or get gone... Geaux Saints!!!!

We purchased this to make our bacon in the morning. It works really well making sure the fatty bits get cooked well, just the way i like it!

I got this for my grandmother who is a rooster aficionado, so it was a perfect gift for her! I don't think she has used it to press bacon at all, but it's a great little display item for her rooster-infested kitchen!
