The Le Creuset L4098-1M Panini Press Skillet Grill Set is a two-piece enameled cast-iron system for making cafe-style hot sandwiches, paninis, and melts with authentic grill marks on both sides. The 10.25-inch square skillet grill has raised ridges that not only mark the food but also let excess fat drain away for healthier meals. The 9-inch ribbed press sits neatly inside the pan, delivering even pressure and heat from the top without a heavy sandwich maker.
How to Use Your Le Creuset Panini Press Skillet Grill Set
Place the skillet on the stove over low to medium heat—cast iron retains heat so well that you rarely need high. Butter or oil the outside of the bread, put your sandwich in the pan, and set the press on top. Cook for 3–4 minutes, then lift, check, and flip if needed for an even golden crust. The press works best for browning the top while the ridges create classic grill marks.
Versatile on the Stovetop and Beyond
The set is suitable for induction cooking and is oven- and broiler-safe, so you can use the skillet for roasted vegetables, seared meats, or finishing dishes under the broiler. Dual pour spouts make it easy to drain excess fat. The cast-iron handle and opposite helper handle keep the pan stable during transport.
Care and Longevity
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the enamel finish. With proper care, this heirloom-quality set will serve you for decades.
