Customer Review: Grill me a sammich!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned the Emerilware Cast Iron Grille Pan for a couple of years now, and I really like it. Recently I got interested in paninis, which is just a fancy way of saying Italian grilled sandwiches.
The trick is to put the press on a burner face down while you are preheating the pan. (If you have the corresponding Emerilware Cast Iron 10 inch Square Grill Pan it will fit neatly in the base of the pan while heating.) That way it gets very hot while you are making the sandwich. After the sandwich is ready, and both the pan and the press are very hot, remove the press (using an oven mitt!), put the sandwich in the pan, and put the press on top of it. The heavy cast iron of the press retains heat and has enough weight to press down and cook the sandwich with those distinctive grill marks everyone likes. The ridges also have a side benefit of making it less likely to stick to the top of the sandwich.
The first time you use it, spray it lightly with cooking spray oil inside and out, wipe off the handle, then put it directly on a high heat burner until it smokes. Turn the burner off and let it cool off on the burner slowly by itself. This will help season it a bit (even though it is preseasoned) and make sure that you won't get any sticking the first time you use it.
This is a really fun accessory to have with a good grill pan, and it works better than the standalone, electric grills while taking up considerably less space. It is a good value, too!
