Le Creuset Kiwi Square Grill Pan with Panini Press:
This 9.5-in. Panini Press creates delicious hot grilled Panini and crisp flavorful Bruschetta. The Panini Press is a ribbed cast iron plate that works in conjunction with Le Creuset's porcelain enameled cast iron skillet grill to produce top and bottom searing simultaneously. You can also create mouth-watering steaks and seafood, plus the Panini Press can be used to expel excess fat for a delicious low fat dish!
About Le Creuset… Since 1925, artisans have been crafting Le Creuset cookware in the French village of Fresnoy Le Grand. Each piece of Le Creuset cast iron cookware is handcast, polished, double enamel-coated and then fired, resulting in some of the finest quality cookware available. Cast iron is one of the best materials for distributing heat gently and thoroughly and is ideal for induction ranges. The strong enamel coating will not absorb odors or flavors, and is easy to clean. Le Creuset cookware comes in a variety of sizes, colors and styles to match any kitchen and cooking preference. So lasting, you'll pass it on to the next generation of promising cooks.
Please note: This item is not recommended for ceramic/glass top stoves.
by David (Thornton, CO) 1 review I was looking for a good grill and this one is great. The panini press was an added extra for me but I've already used it and it's changed my grilled cheese forever.
by Christina (Santa Barbara, CA) 4 reviews I've never used a panini press before and this one seems simple to use. Unlike other manual panini presses, the lid is not very heavy which may or may not appeal to people. Once you've heated the pan and lid on separate burners (or in the oven?) you can begin your press. Because this is a cooking method that's new to me it will take a while to get the hang of it. The first time it seemed to take quite a while to heat the sandwich through. The info it came with is very limited, so a panini cookbook would be a big plus. Overall it is a handy and versatile pan that's easy to clean.
by Anne (Vancouver, WA) 7 reviews Whether you use this product in tandem or grill pan alone...it is excellent. Bacon is nearly splash free and stays nice and flat, not swimming in fat. Grill pan is terrific for meats and fish, also allowing for fat to be below the grills. As a panini press...it is more efficient, while not automatic, it IS one less electrical appliance to plug in. As always, Le Creuset is a high quality product.
by Lawrence (Waukesha, WI) 1 review Love Le Creuset products and this is no exception. Takes a bit to get it seasoned, so expect some sticking the first couple of times you use it. Heats up exceptionally well, both the top and bottom can be heated, so grilled cheese sandwiches cook in a snap and no worries about it falling apart when you flip it, because there is no need to. Panini's turn out perfect, just a great addition to our collection.
