Cuisinart Cast Iron Grill Press: The Secret to Better Grill Marks
Why 2.4 pounds of even pressure matters
Weight helps food make full contact with the grill, which speeds up cooking and creates those appetizing sear marks. Pressing also flattens thick cuts so they cook evenly.
Wooden handle and nonstick surface
The ergonomic wooden handle stays cool, so you can press down comfortably without a mitt. The nonstick finish releases food easily and makes hand-washing simple.
Cuisinart Cast Iron Grill Press Seasoning & Care Guide
Season the cast iron surface before first use and after each wash to keep it protected. Rub a thin layer of oil over the press and heat until it smokes; let cool and wipe off excess. Hand wash only, dry thoroughly, and never put it in the dishwasher. If your press has a nonstick coating, follow the care instructions in the manual.

Product Details
Turn up the heat on your grill game
A grill press isn't just for burgers—it's a multitasker for steaks, bacon, grilled cheese, and even vegetables. The weight helps render fat, crisp edges, and lock in moisture.
How to get the best sear
Preheat your grill and the press together. Place the press on top of the food and leave it for the first few minutes, then check the crust. The heavy weight creates deep, even grill marks.
Seasoning and protecting the cast iron
After washing and drying, apply a light coat of oil and heat it briefly to build a protective layer. This helps prevent rust and keeps the cooking surface smooth.
More ways to use it
Try it on bacon to keep it flat, on chicken breasts for even thickness, or on quesadillas and paninis for a golden, crispy exterior. It works on outdoor grills, indoor grill pans, and camp stoves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I season my Cuisinart cast iron grill press?
Wash and dry it, apply a thin layer of neutral oil over all cast iron surfaces, then heat it in a 350°F oven or on a stovetop until the oil smokes. Let cool and repeat if needed.
Is the press dishwasher safe?
No. Hand washing keeps the cast iron properly seasoned and protects the wooden handle.
What can I use it for besides burgers?
Steaks, chicken breast, bacon, grilled cheese, paninis, quesadillas, and even bacon-wrapped items on the grill.
Will it work on a glass-top stove?
It's designed for grills and grill pans. On a glass cooktop, lift it straight up and don't slide it, as cast iron can scratch.
Do I need to preheat the press?
Yes. Preheat the press with your grill so it creates strong, even grill marks and helps render fat faster.

Heavy and effective
This press is perfect for smashing burgers and keeping bacon flat. The wooden handle stays cool. It's a bit heavy but that's the point. Makes a great crust.

Works as expected
It's sturdy and does its job. I use it for grilled sandwiches. The handle is comfortable. Just wish it had a slight lip to help grab it.
