I have been keeping my eye out for a decent sized grill press for more than a year. The only thing you can find are the smaller versions that aren't even 1/2 the size of this one. It has a nice heavy weight, which is essential. Keep in mind that if you are using it in a round pan, it needs to be at least 12 inches round. I BOUGHT TWO! Perfect for griddles and outdoor grilling!

I had been looking for this - not so much for making paninis but to use with the grill on my cook top. It is just what I wanted and came promptly.
