Excellent bacon press
Nice addition to your kitchen if you are cooking bacon, which tend to curl up. The bottom is smooth, with no places for food to catch and hide.
Cavet, the first one I had, the spring on the handle broke. (the wire spring is welded to the wire handle, it must have been overheated as the wire spring broke loose from the handle. Not incapacitating it, as the spring just rolls in you hand, but annoying.) I wrote Lodge Mfg, and they sent a replacement which has worked fine ever since. Hence 4 stars instead of 5.
Requires some assembly, a screwdriver and a small wrench. Easy for any handyperson to do.
Old-fashioned practicality
I like the heft of cast iron, and the cooking results, too. I have well-seasoned skillets handed down from my grandmother. But every once in a while you come across something so darned "obvious" that you just have to smile. This is one of them. You can use it on the grill or in a skillet. Flat bacon is only one of MANY uses. The handle is also old-fashioned. It dissipates heat pretty fast, so unless you're using it in an oven or on a closed grill, I haven't found any problem.
works fine but the handle gets hot
This works great to flatten bacon. I chose this instead of the larger circular one and it fits better in more of my pans. The only question I have is why they didn't spend an extra 50 cents and put a wooden handle instead of a metal one which gets so hot one has to use an oven mitt just to pick up the press.
