Staub Cast Iron 10.3-inch Square Grill Press - Matte Black (Fits 12-inch Grill Pan)

Substantial weight. My other weights have rusted over the years. Hope this one will last and I think it will!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this to go along with the square grill pan. Perfect fit and heavy weight. Very versatile- it can be used for grilling steaks and burgers, frying bacon so it doesn't curl, and of course making paninis and grilled cheese. I love my Staub cookware.

Purchased this grill press to make Chicken Under a Brick. Works so much better than using an actual brick! Used on my outside grill and achieved excellent results. Great grill marks, and ready in no time. Anxious to make a Panini using this.

So versatile! This works perfectly with the Staub 12" grill pan but has many other uses. The black matte finish helps to create a perfect searing surface and helps any food cook more quickly without drying out. The grill press can with stand temperatures up to 500F and can be used on any cooking surface, even your BBQ.

I love using this as a weigh when I am making any kind of grilled/pressed sandwich because it is the perfect size to fit into my 12" grill pan. I can use this to weigh down bone in chicken breasts to get them a little flatter so they cook more evenly.

Nearly 5 pounds...this press will help finish mattone or Cuban sandwiches, etc. professionally. Gets hot...be careful!

I love this grill press. The knob is long enough you are sure not touch the grill itself when handling. It also has a nice weight behind it to ensure you get a great press.

This press is perfect for my grill pan. It makes perfect sandwhiches and paninis. It is great when you're indoor grilling chicken because you will get incredible grill marks (color is flavor) plus it will decrease cooking time. I use it on my outdoor grill too.

I have this and it goes perfectly with my Staub 12" grill pan. It helps keep meat or sandwiches pressed firmly against the grill for those perfect grill marks and it seals in the heat from above as well as from the pan. Use on your outdoor grill too!

Love using this piece for my salmon burgers, fish, grilled sandwiches and more! Weighs heavily on the food and leaves a nice imprint, as if done on the grill.

Good additional piece for the Grill pan. Use it for panini and grilled cheese sandwiches. Also have used on my outdoor grill . Nice and heavy, but a perfect fit for the 12" Grill Pan.

This actually is a very versitile piece of equipment. Heavy enough to weigh down a chicken, steaks or chops but also works on paninis and grilled sandwiches. I put this in the oven while I'm heating the pan on the stove top so it gets nice and hot throughout.

I've had this grill press ling for quite sometimes. It is perfect for panini sandwiches and grilling steak & bacon. This is a perfect combo to holds up heat in between cast iron grill pan and this cast iron press lid. It's just all about greatness, it brings happiness for a great food.

Must have with your 12" grill pan. Better than stacking cans on top of a plate on top of your sandwich or pannini!! Use this on your outside grill too!!

The weight of this grill press makes it perfect for even cooking of meat, as when doing chicken under a brick. However, I tend to use it more for pressed sandwiches; one of my favorite being brioche filled with Nutella and sliced strawberries or bananas.

I have the 12" grill pan and this fits it perfectly. I love making paninis and grilled sandwich concoctions with this press. I have not tried it, but I could use this for bacon as well. It is a good weight to keep whatever is under it, pressed frimly to the grill. Cubanos are my favorite and this is perfect for those.

I have the Staub 12" grill and found this addition to be well worth it. I put it in the empty grill pan while heating the it up. So it too has some heat in it. The knob does get hot as well. Leaves great sear marks on meat and veggies. Presses anything that wants to bubble up like bacon. We have also used it on the outdoor grill.

No more curled up bacon for us. I purchased this for that specific reason and it fixed the problem. I also use it for steaks, just for a min, to get beautiful sear marks.

This is a great addition to your Staub grill pan. I love using this for getting that extra sear on my steaks, but I love using this for paninis, it helps heat the side not directly on the grill while also producing those beautiful lines.

Panini-lovers rejoice! Use this grill press to get the best look and texture on whatever you have in your grill pan...especially paninis!
