So many people buy so many things for their kitchen that they
think they are going to use and never use them. With all the
crazy gadgets out there, you could fill a warehouse with stuff.
One thing you may have that you don’t think of using is your
cast iron grill press. If you have one, use it. They are great for
keeping bacon flat while cooking or putting on top of that grilled
cheese sandwich to help the cheese melt. They’re also a handy
tool for smashing burgers to put on the grill.

If you like to cook bacon and don’t like the way it curls up, you may want
to consider a cast iron grill press. By putting this on top of the bacon, with
it’s weight, it will stop the bacon from curling and cook it more evenly.
It will also stop the splatter of bacon grease that gets all over your kitchen.
Another way to use a grill press is to make smash burgers. Simply put the
hamburger in a ball and smash it with the grill press. It will make a unique
burger with the shape on the bottom of the press.
