I did not want to spend $50-$75 on a large electric press nor did I want to give one counter space so I was pleased to see this small cast iron one. It works wonderfully and the only drawbacks are 1) only makes one at a time which is fine with me and 2) the downside is you will want more than one sandwich as it is so tasty! (Just get up and walk away and do not succumb to temptation!) I do find that I have to turn it over about 1/2 way through or one side gets browner than the other. You are not supposed to have to do that and maybe as I gain experience I will learn more tricks.
You brush just a little olive oil in the pan and on the press and let them sit on medium heat for a few minutes. You make your sandwich with mayo, thin sliced cheese, meat, olives, tomatoes, onions or whatever (no lettuce) and then brush both sides of the sandwich (you are supposed to use bread like a ciabatta bread but I think you could use any kind) with a little olive oil and Italian seasonings. Put the sandwich in the pan and the press on top, heat on medium and wait about 3 minutes. It makes this wonderful sandwich, hot and melted in the center and crisp in the outside.
Makes the ultimate toasted cheese sandwich.
It is little so it does not take up too much storage space.

This pan is an adorable little pan that makes a very good panini. The only reason I took off a star was due to the fact that the pan handle and top press handle are made of seemingly cheesy plastic. For the price I would expect them to be much nicer. As a bonus though, neither of the handles got hot while cooking so I guess that is the important thing. I normally plan to wear an oven mitt with cast iron. I had to turn my sandwich over to get an even brown but that may be due to my inexperience using it. I may not have let the top get heated thoroughly. I am happy with it and am looking forward to trying lots of different combinations. It is super cute and easily stored.Best Deals for Norpro Mini Cast Iron Panini Pan with Press
this is a nice idea for a sandwich press but. unless you have real small bread this does not work. It is ok if you are doing say english muffin size bread, other wise the bread does not fit and you can't get the sandwich out with a spatula.Honest reviews on Norpro Mini Cast Iron Panini Pan with Press
I bought this for my boyfriend and he is in love with it. It's well made, cast iron and just the right size. For everyone complaining about food sticking, YOU NEED TO TREAT CAST IRON BEFORE YOU USE IT (google it). After treatment, nothing will stick to this pan and it's perfect for making a decadent panini or quickly making a sample sandwich even tastier. The pan on it's own works great for frying up other things as well, like bacon and eggs.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Norpro Mini Cast Iron Panini Pan with Press
I picked this product because I didn't want those electric types to avoid additional clutter on my counter top. Just perfect for my requirement. Burned my sandwich on the first try though. Using it 3x a week.
