Your cart is empty.The ribbed surface of the cast iron Panini Press is finished with a black satin enamel that eliminates the need for the traditional seasoning and maintenance of raw cast iron. Crafted from our legendary cast iron, the Panini Press has the same exceptional heat distribution and retention qualities for even browning. Heat the panini press first on the stovetop or oven, then place on top of sandwiches for toasted perfection. While the cast iron panini press is compatible with most heating elements, it is not recommended for use on glass or ceramic stovetops.

It seems to be a bit pricey, but that is what you expect with Le Creuset. They are good products

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

Lo compré porque tenia ya una plancha le creuset y no quería tener otro electrodoméstico solo para sandwiches. En el embalaje pone el símbolo de todo tipo de cocinas pero es publicidad general de le creuset, en las instrucciones pone que solo funciona correctamente con gas. Yo tengo vitroceramica y no se calienta lo suficiente.

Wenn man die Grillpfanne von Le Creuset bereits hat, ist diese Panini Presse ein Muss. Pfanne und Presse werden erhitzt, große Weißbrotscheiben mit etwas Olivenöl/Meersalz/Pfeffer/Knoblauch-Mischung bepinselt und dann schmeckt schon diese einfache Version himmlisch und sieht auch so aus. Mit gehackten Tomaten und Basilikum wird es zu Bruschetta. Ich habe die Brotscheiben noch mit gegrilltem Gemüse, frischen Kräutern und Mozzarella gefüllt, das war einfach toll. Egal, ob es nur eine Scheibe oder ein gefüllter Doppeldecker ist - es gilt: Pfanne und Presse müssen heiß sein, Brot etwas einölen, dann das Ganze ein paar Sekunden leicht andrücken und anschließend einfach so lassen. Nach ein paar Minuten hat man das gewünschte Resultat: knusprige Panini mit dunklen Rillen und dazwischen leicht knuspriger Teig. Meistens muss man einen Holzlöffel zur Hilfe nehmen, denn das Brot pappt durch die Hitze und das Öl etwas an Pfanne und Presse an, aber es geht mühelos wieder ab. Perfekt! Man kann wohl auch Fleisch so zubereiten, aber das habe ich noch nicht ausprobiert.

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

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.

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.
