Know before you buy
The FINEX grill press arrives pre-seasoned with organic flaxseed oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, it will benefit from regular maintenance and additional seasoning over time to maintain its non-stick properties.
The handle features a stainless steel spring design that is engineered to dissipate heat, allowing it to stay cooler to the touch for longer than a solid metal handle. While it is designed for comfort, we still recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt if the press has been sitting on a hot surface for an extended period.
Yes, the 8-inch size is versatile enough to work with most standard cast iron skillets and grill pans. While it is specifically designed to fit the geometry of FINEX cookware, it will function effectively on any flat or ribbed cooking surface that can accommodate its 8-inch diameter.
The 1/4-inch ribs serve two purposes: they create professional-looking sear marks on your food and help channel away excess fat. By applying consistent pressure, they also ensure better contact with the pan, which leads to more even cooking and crispier textures.
To preserve the seasoning, hand wash the press with warm water and a stiff brush, avoiding harsh soaps or the dishwasher. Dry it thoroughly immediately after washing and apply a very light coat of oil before storing it in a dry place.
