Char-Broil Grill Press

A grill press adds weight to your food, ensuring consistent contact with the grill grates. This helps you achieve even searing, creates professional-looking grill marks, and prevents bacon or thin cuts of meat from curling at the edges.

The press features a solid wood handle, which stays cooler to the touch than the cast iron base. However, you should still use caution or a grill glove when handling it, as the wood can get warm if left directly over high heat for extended periods.

To keep it in good condition, hand wash the press with warm water and mild soap, then dry it immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. It is recommended to lightly coat the cast iron surface with a thin layer of cooking oil after drying to maintain its seasoning.

Yes, this press is versatile enough to be used on both outdoor grills and indoor stovetop pans. It is an effective tool for pressing paninis, searing steaks, or flattening burgers on a cast iron skillet.

At 2.53 lbs, this press provides enough weight to effectively flatten bacon, burgers, and chicken breasts without being so heavy that it becomes difficult to maneuver. It strikes a practical balance for everyday grilling needs.
