Customer Review
I did not want to spend $50-$75 on a large electric press nor did I want to give one counter space so I was pleased to see this small cast iron one. It works wonderfully and the only drawbacks are 1) only makes one at a time which is fine with me and 2) the downside is you will want more than one sandwich as it is so tasty! (Just get up and walk away and do not succumb to temptation!) I do find that I have to turn it over about 1/2 way through or one side gets browner than the other. You are not supposed to have to do that and maybe as I gain experience I will learn more tricks.

You brush just a little olive oil in the pan and on the press and let them sit on medium heat for a few minutes. You make your sandwich with mayo, thin sliced cheese, meat, olives, tomatoes, onions or whatever (no lettuce) and then brush both sides of the sandwich (you are supposed to use bread like a ciabatta bread but I think you could use any kind) with a little olive oil and Italian seasonings. Put the sandwich in the pan and the press on top, heat on medium and wait about 3 minutes. It makes this wonderful sandwich, hot and melted in the center and crisp in the outside.

Makes the ultimate toasted cheese sandwich.

It is little so it does not take up too much storage space.
