Know before you buy
No, this press is made from cast aluminum and is not compatible with induction cooktops. It is designed specifically for use on gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.
The press is not dishwasher safe, so you should hand wash it using warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or metal utensils, as these can damage the nonstick coating.
Yes, for the best results and distinct grill marks, it is recommended to preheat the press on your stovetop before placing your sandwich inside. This ensures an even sear and faster cooking time.
The handle is made of phenolic material, which is designed to stay cool to the touch during normal stovetop use. However, you should ensure the handle is not placed directly over a burner flame or heating element.
The internal cooking surface measures 5.4 inches by 7.7 inches. It is perfectly sized for standard sandwich bread, though larger artisan loaves may need to be trimmed to fit within the ribbed area.
