Lodge Pre-Seasoned Round Cast Iron Press - 8 Inch | Even Heat Sear for Stove and Grill

Experience restaurant-grade searing at home with the Lodge Pre-Seasoned Round Cast Iron Press. The 8 inch round plate concentrates heat, helping you press down and brown foods evenly while guiding excess fat away from the surface. Built to handle daily cooking on the stovetop, grill, oven, or campfire, this press brings a robust, timeless tool into your kitchen lineup.

Balanced heat for bold results

The hammered finish is more than ornament. It enhances heat retention and creates a durable surface that develops a natural patina over time. The spiral handle stays cool and comfortable in your grip as you press burgers, chicken cutlets, or paninis. Pre seasoning means a natural, easy release from the first use, with ongoing improvements as you work the pan.

• Prevents bacon from curling and helps grease separate for leaner results on burgers or sandwiches.
• Heats up before cooking for faster, more even searing and keeping juices in the meat.

Real-world uses that fit everyday cooking

Whether you are making smash burgers, grilled cheese, or chicken breast, the press pairs well with a wide range of foods. Its 8 inch footprint fits standard skillets and many gas grills, offering steady pressure and even contact for uniform sear marks and textural richness.

• Stovetop meals: preheat the press, place on the pan, and press down to seal in flavor.
• Grill and campfire cooking: position the press to maintain heat, reduce flare-ups, and press out excess fat.

Care, longevity, and American craftsmanship

Made for decades of cooking, this press ships pre seasoned with a natural vegetable oil finish. After use, wash with warm water and a mild soap if desired, dry thoroughly, and apply a light layer of oil while warm to maintain the seasoning. Avoid soaking and store in a dry place.

• Made in America by a family-owned company with a long history of cast iron craftsmanship.
• Simple maintenance: a quick wipe and light oil helps preserve the patina and performance.
