Lodge Color Enamel Cast Iron 8 inch Square Panini Press, Caribbean Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The weight and size is phenomenal.I put the panini press on a burner while I warmed up the other skillet, turned off both burners, added a sandwich, and after much sizzling and 6 minutes it was a perfect panini.

The color however doesn't match the photo. I was hoping for a bright emerald green, but it is a dark hunter green.It's not a deal breaker.

But the real problem from Lodge "America's Original Cookware" is that this is made in China.I've been avoiding cookware from China because of concerns about lead in the enamel glazes. These suspicions may be unfounded but if lead can turn up in toothpaste & baby food, cookware can't be far behind. So enameled cast iron from Martha Stewart and Batali were out, and so I opted for the pricier Le Crueset & Staub. Lodge seemed like an excellent American product. I'll keep this piece but it will be the last one.

Lodge Logic 8.25 Inch Square Ribbed Panini Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had wanted a cast iron grill pan and press, but wasn't happy that Lodge only made a circular pan and press in raw iron.(They have a square set in enameled iron.)I bought this set the first day I saw the 8.25" press for sale after writing the company to verify it would fit the existing 10" square grill pan.The Lodge customer service department responded right away and their information was correct.

The pan and press are typical cast iron - they are heavy, require some home seasoning, and need a little extra care in cleaning.But it's not all inconvenience and bother - my version of "seasoning" is to brush it down with bacon drippings I save in my refrigerator specifically for new cast iron.Just heat the pan over low heat, lightly brush with shortening or drippings, and apply food (the colder the food, the more likely it will stick).To clean, use a stiff brush after soaking a few minutes - I have a variety of toothbrush-sized implements for the grill pan that are really effective.Beyond that modest behavior modification, the benefits will far outweigh and outlast any non-stick competition.
