Love the grill
In my opinion, this is a very good piece for any kitchen. I was looking for a heavy grill pan and this is the one. This is my second piece of Mario Batali cookware and both are far above average for quality and durability. I bought a round scrub brush to clean any cooked on food. Honestly, you just soak the pan in PLAIN hot water and any food particles scrub right...

Making it my mission to save others from a similar fate...
When my brother first tried to buy me this for Christmas, it was backordered. That was like the universe trying to tell us something, but we didn't listen. Then, the first one I received was damaged. Another sign ("Don't do it, just don't do it") and another sign ignored. I returned it for another and before the pan was so much as heated, enamel on the handle was chipped...

Love the grill, May 13, 2007
This review is from: Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press, Chianti (Kitchen)
In my opinion, this is a very good piece for any kitchen. I was looking for a heavy grill pan and this is the one. This is my second piece of Mario Batali cookware and both are far above average for quality and durability. I bought a round scrub brush to clean any cooked on food. Honestly, you just soak the pan in PLAIN hot water and any food particles scrub right off. I did oil mine after use the first couple of times and it's already starting to be easier to use. It's a keeper!

mario batali panini grill & press, May 14, 2007
This review is from: Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press, Chianti (Kitchen)
Cast iron grill pan with press - heats quickly and efficiently (no need to turn burner on higher than medium). However, the bread when making a panini, tends to stick at first (even when brushed with oil) and you must still flip the sandwich when using the press.
It can accommodate two good size sandwiches at a time, but for any more than that I would think a larger counter-top press would be more appropriate. Overall a nice dual purpose item.

It's Pretty and Functional, August 16, 2007
This review is from: Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press, Chianti (Kitchen)
I love my new panini grill. It's great for pressed sandwiches. It is heavy but I consider that a plus in a press. I would definitely buy more of Mario's products based on this panini grill..

Making it my mission to save others from a similar fate..., November 7, 2009
This review is from: Mario Batali Panini Grill and Press, Chianti (Kitchen)
When my brother first tried to buy me this for Christmas, it was backordered. That was like the universe trying to tell us something, but we didn't listen. Then, the first one I received was damaged. Another sign ("Don't do it, just don't do it") and another sign ignored. I returned it for another and before the pan was so much as heated, enamel on the handle was chipped off. Serious lesson here. Not only is the outside appearance marred, but the pan doesn't do what it's supposed to do. If you make a sandwich in it, it will stick. You can oil that baby up with any variety of kitchen fats, you can preheat, but it will stick. It is reliable in that way. I use this now to make hot dogs since I live in an apartment and don't have a grill. So, that is about once a year for the Fourth of July. It's a serious waste of space. If I were you, I'd look elsewhere...there are cheaper options from Lodge and similarly priced options from All Clad. (Both of which, by the way, are made in the US...this is made in China and it shows. Despite the pretty colors, Le Creuset it is not). Alternatively, my parents have the Cuisinart 3-in-one electric press, and it's great.
