The Nordic Ware weighted grill press is perfect for smash burgers, searing meats, compressing and toasting sandwiches, quesadillas, and everything in between! Simply hold the handle and press down for effortlessly thin patties, or set it on top to weigh down foods for golden-brown crusts. The press can be preheated to cook foods from top and bottom at once; just remember the handle may get hot, so please use a hot pad for handling. Its generously sized 8-inch diameter can sear larger portions, making it a useful tool for anyone who loves cooking and grilling! It's made of aluminized steel with an imported stainless-steel handle and contains no coatings or PFAS. Proudly made by Nordic Ware, a family-owned company.
