Editorial Review:
In Le Creuset's signature color, flame, this panini press and skillet grill set makes a great gift for the chef who likes to combine grilling with the creation of gourmet dishes like panini or bruschetta appetizers. The panini press and skillet grill set works much like an outdoor grill (only faster), searing your foods on both sides at once, leaving them with rippled, blackened grill marks. With both of these pieces, you can grill quickly - prepare chicken breasts, burgers, swordfish or the classic panini. When cooking a panini, the bread becomes crisp and crunchy while the insides remain soft and succulent. The panini press and skillet set includes a 10.25-in. square grill pan, complete with long handle, a helper handle and spouts for pouring off excess oils, and a 9-in. panini press with a round knob on top for holding. Heat the press separately then place on top of your food and both sides will cook at once. Both have ribbed surfaces and are made of enameled cast iron, a material that retains heat longer and spreads it evenly for superior cooking performance. Please note: This item is not recommended for ceramic/glass top stoves.

If you need something what is going to last you a lifetime - this is it!
Great pan -- treat your honey to a splurge!:
Wow, how can I compete with these passionate panini press reviews here? I don't think I will try. Let me just add my voice to the others, to note this is a great, heavy duty, durable pan, that makes great sandwiches! My wife was quite pleased to get this for Mother's Day this year! Double win for me: nice present, and nice sandwiches! But it's fun to use, and we are enjoying making each other tasty panini! Le Creuset makes excellent cookware, quite expensive, but it's a nice present to give your... more info
Did I really just pay $150 for a fancy grilled cheese sandwich pan? I think I did...:
Let me just get right to it: this works okay if you want to make one, maybe two sets of sandwiches at most. It may work better if you have a gas stovetop (I don't) but works passably with a flat top electric stove top (what I have) and I'm guessing it would work with electric burners as well. I got all excited reading other reviews about how this press will last forever (it probably will), how it is high quality (true), easier to store (also true), simple to clean (still true), has no breakable parts (yes,... more info
Great object: fun, useful, pretty:
I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. In all honesty, I also bought it for myself, because I'm a vegetarian, and I needed some sort of method for introducing variety into my dinner routine. I was getting really tired of rice and beans and greens. This little set, while extremely expensive (in my opinion), really is a lot of fun, and the panini is excellent, as long as you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. We didn't read the manual carefully the first time we used it, so I was disappointed, but when you do... more info
