While searing, meat can often curl up due to fat running along or against the grain of the meat that contracts (and renders) as it cooks. This leads to uneven searing, and even worse - an uneven cook. Grey spots on your sear? Look no further - when placed on top of your protein of choice, the Lodge Rectangular Cast Iron Grill Press eliminates the need to hold the protein in place so you can tend to other jobs in the kitchen. We're thinking prepping other elements of the dish, tending to a sauce, or doing the dishes themselves (a messy bench is a messy mind!) Of course, this doesn't need to be used only on meat. Many dishes require the searing of vegetables, seafoods, tofu - use this Grill Press to ensure you get an even sear, every time! 

As with any cast iron cookware, if you look after it, it'll look after you!
