Grill Press Showdown: 7x7 Round vs. 8x4 Rectangle with Wooden Handle Tested for BBQ Prep
We recently put our trust in this 2-pack of Black Cast Iron Grill Presses, testing their performance side by side for backyard BBQ prep. The 7x7 inch round press proved ideal for thicker cuts like juicy steaks, offering even pressure to achieve that perfect sear. Meanwhile, the 8x4 inch rectangle excelled with bacon, flattening slices into uniform, crispy perfection without warping. Both feature robust wooden handles, adding a touch of classic charm while providing a firm grip during use. Their heavy-duty build ensured stability on our grill, resisting warping under heat. Though the round press required more space, its versatility for burgers and bread made it a favorite for multi-tasking. The rectangle, slightly narrower, was a powerhouse for precision. Together, they balanced functionality and aesthetics-though we'll admit, the scent of seared meat wafting from the round press had us craving more. For those seeking a tool that adapts to varied grilling needs, this duo delivers a compelling case.
