Reviews of Download Cast Iron Steak Weight & Bacon Press Review

Customer Ratings:

I bought the top 6 reviewed grill presses on Amazon.com, and used them for several months in a rigorous comparison in my kitchen. This one ranks worstdon't buy it. The products I compared were:

#1 Best: Kingsford KCA11 Grill Press, Rectangular Kingsford KCA11this grill press has the perfect weight for holding down, but not crushing, grilled sandwiches, sausages, burgers, and bacon. The handle is easy to hold and comfortable. I'm going to buy a few more.

#2: New 8-Inch Barbecue BBQ Grill Steak Weights, Heavy-Weight, Hamburger Bacon Sausage Grill Press, Commercial Grade, Cast Iron New 8-Inch Barbecue BBQ Grill Steak Weightsthis grill press is almost identical to the Kindsford, but is slighly less well made (and two dollars cheaper). I found the edges to be less well finished and the handle to be somewhat poorly fitted to the iron.

#3: Lodge Logic LGP3 Pre-Seasoned Rectangular Cast-Iron Grill Press Lodge Logic LGP3I found this press a little too light weight to properly grill a nice cheese sandwich. In addition, the handle scared me. It never got hot, but it always looked like it was, even after months of use, and I found the minor stress of remembering that it wouldn't burn me to be a negative feature. I prefer the wooden handles.

#4: The Camp Chef 9-1/4-by-5-3/4-by-3-1/4-Inch Seasoned Cast Iron Bacon/Meat PressThe Camp Chefthis press was the best choice if you feel you must have grill lines embedded into the pressa feature which I decided wasn't worth it. Overall, I found it less stable and able to hold food down because of the grill lines.

#5: The Outset Q111 Rectangular-Shaped Cast-Iron Grill Press with Rosewood HandleOutset Q111this press also has grill lines, but performed worse then the camp chef version. Something about the angles of these grill lines made them grip food awkwardlyonce the whole sandwich came up with the grill press and then fell on the ground.

#6: Cast Iron Steak Weight & Bacon Press Cast Iron Steak Weight & Bacon Pressthis press was simply too heavyit crushed everything I put near it, and was annoying to lift and heft around. I'm all for heavy-weight iron presses, but this one just destroyed the food.

When I got this, not only was the metal and handle sticky with some unknown substance, but the press was actually warped in the middle so it wouldn't lay flat. The texture on the bottom is very small squares packed closely together. Not what I was looking for. I returned it post-haste.

Do yourself a favor and spend another 5 bucks on a QUALITY press. I bought the Outset Q111. Significantly better.

It is a functional item and arrived as described and quickly. I think it works fine but had a few flaws in the casting that I wish that they had caught. A little better quality control is needed. Not worth returning, I will just grind the spots in question to protect my cookwares finish.

Honest reviews on Reviews of Download Cast Iron Steak Weight & Bacon Press

Nice heavy bacon/sausage press. It's cast iron so don't get it wet but it's exactly what it looks like. Very solidly made. The wood handle is screwed in at both ends and the wood isn't finished on the ends, so again, if you get it wet, that might be a problem, but if you keep it clean with a brush or scraper, this utensil is likely to last a long, long time. Can't go wrong.

This is great for flattening bacon and steaks. I highly recommend this for a friend and would buy again. It has small bumps on the flat, heavy, device. Well made. Needs to be seasoned and dried well after washing as it is metal and can rust if not treated. It does have a sticker that states "Made in China".
