Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a great bacon press. I've wanted one for a very long time and had to decide from a smaller rectangular one and this nice large round press. It does a good job of filling my entire skillet so every slice of bacon gets pressed. The press heats up and cooks the bacon even faster. I can also see that it would be great as a sandwich press or on a grill. It does get hot, and the handle is wooden, so it gets hot as well, so you need a hot pad to handle it, but that would be the same as with any of the other presses I looked at so I'm going to to ahead and give 5 stars and the suggestion that the manufacturer consider trying a silicone handle to see if that helps with the issue. I always read the one star ratings to see the negative comments, and honestly I have to say that anyone who puts a cast iron utensil in the dishwasher is a total idiot and should not be allowed to own good cookware.
