Le CreusetEnameled Cast Iron Panini Press, 9", Licorice

Fits single handle griddle pan perfectly

I use this along with my Le Creuset Skillet Square Grill, and the two combined are perfect for all types of grilling. I gave away my electric panini press, using this combo instead. Perfect for my needs. Love Le Creuset. I have never been disappointed.

I have tried several but they stick and don't eliminate your need to flip the foods over. This one does it all. Very happy-Finally

Very good quality. I'm using it very often to make the panini sandwiches. Price was good also. I would recommended it.

Well made but could have purchased a Lodge for half the price

This "press" and its matching Le Creuset Panini pan are excellent.The pan does a great job of grilling chicken, beef, and seafood.The press is a very nice addition.

This product works as it stated it would, but cleaning can be an issue once the press cools...be careful and clean once able...

While shopping a retail cooking store, I fell in love with the Krups FDE312 panini press. A bit of Amazon research, however, turned up a disturbing pattern of sudden failures in this product. Research into other presses from Cuisinart, DeLonghi, Breville, Villaware, and others failed to produce a clear front runner. It seemed that each product had one or more issues - non-removable grill plates, difficult cleaning, lack of grill ribs, flimsy handles, tendency to dry food, non-adjustable temperature, etc. Enter the Le Creuset 10 ¼" grill pan and panini press. You can submerge them to clean. They're coated with enamel, not Teflon, which means with proper care they will last two lifetimes (although they're only guaranteed for the lifetime of the original owner). There's no electrical element to burn out, no cord to store, no moving parts to break. Use is simple. Heat the grill on one burner (we have gas, but they're supposed to work with other technologies) and the press on the other. Wait until a spatter of water vaporizes almost instantly. Brush grill pan with some oil. Place sandwiches on grill pan. Pick up the press, brush on some oil, place on sandwiches and press for a few moments. Sizzle, sizzle. Wait until the cheese melts. Serve. The panini were just like what I'd eaten in Italy. I haven't owned an electric press, but I can't imagine they'd be better. Cleanup of the enamel surface requires a bit of care but, unlike every Teflon-coated product I've ever owned, that surface will probably still be there 20 years from now. And since the grill pan actually has sides (unlike every electric panini press I looked at), there was no side-spattering and thus no cleanup to do around the cooking area. The only disadvantage - the grill/press combination cost me $150, about twice the cost of the average electric panini grill. But since many of the grill reviews I read spoke of this being their second (or third) electric grill, I suspect I'll make my money back over the next 20 years.
