" Measures: 8.25" x 5" x 3 / 21cm x 13cm x 7.5cm Even the best cut bacon can curl, making it difficult to cook evenly. Our Pig-Shaped Cast Iron Grill Press flattens the bacon, keeping its shape for even cooking. Features a wooden handle that stays cool to the touch. Ideal for bacon, ham, grilled sandwiches, hamburgers and quesadillas. Or use as a steak weight! In a skillet on the stovetop or outside on the grill! Includes instructions for seasoning before use, cleaning and storage. Hand wash, rinse thoroughly and dry with a paper towel - never soak cast iron. Before Use: Wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Put a small amount of vegetable oil in fry pan. Lightly coat Bacon Press with vegetable oil. Place face down in fry pan. Heat over very low heat for 20 minutes. Wipe off excess oil with paper towel. Your Bacon Press is now seasoned and ready for use. (Caution: Do not use in a nonstick fry pan as it may scratch the finish.) Cleaning & Storage: After each use, wash and dry thoroughly and lightly re-coat with vegetable oil before storing. If there are signs of rust then re-season by following the steps above. Norpro was founded in 1973 with a vision to design, manufacture, and supply the highest caliber kitchenware. Norpro's offering of innovative, high quality product for cooking, preparing and serving food are produced with superior materials and craftsmanship. 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.

Customers say

Customers like the weight, appearance and value of the garlic press. They mention it's heavy enough to flatten a burger or bacon, and keeps the ends of your bacon from curling up. They also like the speed, and quality. However, some customers report that the sturdiness of the product rusts really bad. Opinions are mixed on cleanability, and size.

Don't Hate Because I'm A Meat Cookin Vegetarian!

Don't Hate Because I'm A Meat Cookin Vegetarian!
I do wish it was about 2 inches larger in total circumference. It is a great meat press for pan frying meat. I have not tried it on a grill. No reason why it wouldn't perform equally as well though. Great kitchen tool..... Pictures Wood Handle on top. Face press on bottom. Being seasoned in my pan with olive oil and salt. For those of you who are curious: I've been a vegetarian going on 50 years. I'm an amazing cook. Since I prepare food so well, it would be totally selfish of me to deprive my meat eating friends my culinary expertise. Eat what you choose. It fuels the body, the mind, the soul. Don't let anyone ever dictate to you what you can or can't eat: unless of course they are saving your life from ingesting a death inducing allergen or poison.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute form for functional item
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013

I purchased this along with a different press to use making bacon on an oblong antique cast iron griddle. My family initially thought this was kind of a goofy, frivolous purchase but they have been amazed at how much better the bacon is using this. It makes it nice and flat and more uniformly cooks it without as many "rare" fat spots. If you prefer the rare spots you simply would cook the bacon for a shorter time. I think it shortens cooking time somewhat by holding heat on the top of the meat. The bottom of this is cast with raised lines of about 1/16" that mimic the recessed lines that outline the pig's features on the top. I've also used a press for frying cornbread and get a much more uniform cooking of it than I used to. I've only had this one now for a few days but I'm sure I'll think of many more uses for it. I looked at a number of these but was restricted in size by the flat area of my griddle. I was concerned that this wouldn't cover all my bacon but before this press arrived I used only my other press (I've done a review of that one as well), switching it from end to end of the griddle. With bacon this worked about as well as having 2 presses. There's a hole in the tail casting through which you can hang this on a squared cup hook or nail. The casting is of good quality with a pretty smooth surface and no flaws. It comes with directions on how to season it for use but I think the directions using flaxseed oil that can be found at a blog is a superior method. Search for 'chemistry of cast iron seasoning.' The handle unscrews so you can insert a bolt as a handle while you are baking on the seasoning.

The only reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is that some of the cute markings on the bottom are so close together that they would create a challenge if for some reason you were to get food stuck in the recess. Nothing comes to mind of what might cause this condition but I thought it worth mentioning in case you have different uses than what I have done. I usually just wipe my cast iron cooking tools with a paper towel between uses so haven't tried washing this. There are other presses that weigh more but the weight of this has proven sufficient for bacon but it might be too light if you want to use it for thicker/heavier things like thick steaks or big hamburgers.

Not a big fan of kitchen gadgets but this one made my husband laugh and makes me laugh every time I use it to make smash-burgers. The handle is big enough to grip but not too big that it's uncomfortable to use. It's heavy enough to flatten a burger or bacon. I also use it as a paper weigh on the kitchen bar to hold the napkins down when the windows are open, it's just too cute to stick in a cabinet.

A lot of people in my neighborhood have been switching from traditional grills to flat top grills. They're all buying bacon presses because nothing does bacon better than a flat top grill. Of course there's a bit of a contest going on. I won with this bacon press. It beat all the other plain ones easily.

For bacon, it works as well as any heavy metal thing does. My only slightly negative comment is that if not properly cared for, it will rust.
