yes I like my bacon presses...got two...the round one and the rectangular one. both cast iron. '
1) preheat the press for pannini type sandwiches...even grilled cheese!
2) preheat the press for pressed chicken recipes
3) great on the outdoor bbq
4) keeps dogs brats and other sausages from rolling all round and makes it easier to brown them on all sides
5) and of course keeps bacon and thin chops from curling during cooking
like any gadget you have to remember to use it...part of preparing your mise en place...but this gadget can't break, won't dull, self seasons with a few breakfasts (if you use it for bacon)
you're going by the outlet...get it!
