I have used many Lodge cast iron products for decades, made in South Pittsburgh, TN. Cast iron is sacred in the South, providing cherished heirloom cookware for future generations. This grill press is great for making smash burgers, keeping bacon from curling, or pressing a panini- type sandwich. I would have preferred a little larger one but this one has the wire handle, which means I can preheat it on the griddle or burner to toast or grill from the top while the bottom cooks. The one-piece presses with the curved cast iron handle are fine but I wanted something I could leave on the griddle for and extended time without fear of grabbing a hot iron handle. This one is pretty close to perfect for me.
