Know before you buy
No, this grill press is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the seasoning and prevent rust, you should hand wash it with soap and water, then dry it thoroughly with a cloth immediately after cleaning.
The handle is designed to be cool-touch, meaning it stays at a safe temperature for handling while the cast iron base is on the grill or griddle. However, you should still exercise caution if the press has been exposed to direct, high-heat flames for an extended period.
No, the Shop Square Grill Press comes pre-seasoned and is ready to use right out of the box. Over time, you may choose to re-season it occasionally to maintain its non-stick properties and protect the cast iron.
Yes, you can use this cast iron press on any stovetop, including glass-top and induction surfaces. Because it is heavy, just be careful to place it down gently to avoid scratching or damaging your cooktop surface.
The 2.6 lb weight is heavy enough to flatten bacon, prevent seafood from curling, and ensure consistent contact with the cooking surface for better searing. It provides enough pressure to speed up cooking times without being so heavy that it crushes delicate ingredients.
