This item is a proper weight to press the bacon and sandwiches because it does not crush but allows for even browning.I feel the wood handle is a good insulator but it could have been an inch wider as a large hand could touch a hot area.Overall, I like this item very much, especially the pig on the top.

- watch out for rust
The press looks good at first glance.It has a wondful, solid feel and it worked wonderfully when I used it to cook bacon. So why the two stars?
You have to hand wash and season the press with oil each and every time you use it. I didn't and simply tossed it in the dishwasher, and came out with a rust spotted press. It cleaned up easily enough, but maintaining the press will be a pain in the rear. You also can't use it on your non-stick pans because it will scratch the surface.

Works well. Rusts easily unless treated, which is to be expected. Handle has to be retightned because it slips.
Rating: - Rust Problem
Seemed like a good item, but impossible to keep rust-free even after "seasoning." No issues with my other similar cast iron items, so this was disappointing. If not for the rust problem it worked well, flattening out pannini sandwiches and bacon.Too bad!

- Best thing since sliced bread
My husband, who does all of the breakfast cooking, has always complained about curled up bacon. But no more! He says he will never cook bacon again without the cast iron press. It really works well. And once seasoned properly, cleans up easily.Norpro Cast Iron Round Bacon Press
