Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Cast Iron Pig Bacon Grill Press
Customer Review: Very Cute
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a great whimsical bacon press made of UNseasoned cast iron. I got this because I thought it would add whimsy and fun to the kitchen, and it is very cute.
I hoped to use it with my 9" cast iron skillet to cook bacon, but it doesn't fit the pan. It sits about 1/4-1/2" from the bottom of the pan. Of course I was bummed because the description says the product is 8.5", and, therefore, should have fit perfectly. Since I have already seasoned and used it- no, I did not check for size before doing this (lesson learned!), I cannot return it. I am forced to use this with my larger, stainless steel saute pan, which is OK, but I prefer cast iron for some tasks.
So, get this if you have a 10" skillet or griddle top. It'll add cuteness to your breakfast...or your 4pm bacon sandwiches!
:)
Happy Holidays!
Description of Norpro Cast Iron Pig Bacon Grill Press
Even the best cut bacon can curl, making it difficult to cook evenly. The cast iron bacon press flattens the bacon, keeping it's shape for even cooking and the wooden handle stays cool while the press is in use. To speed up the process, pre-heat the press.Those who like their bacon flat rather than curled, especially for making BLTs, will enjoy using this pig-shaped bacon press from Norpro. Made of heavy cast iron with a wooden knob-style handle, the press lays right on top of bacon during frying, and also works well on quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches or thickly filled panini, and pork chops that have a tendency to curl at the edges. Care should be taken when used on food in a nonstick skillet not to scratch the finish. Whimsical as well as handy, the bacon press measures 8-1/2 inches in length and can be easily washed by hand. --Ann Bieri
