VERY GOOD for CAMPING, Stovetop use great if you know how to use it right!I ordered this Panini press because it looked so big, heavy and sturdy. We have been using our much smaller panini press on our stovetop for years, but since it was so small, we ended up making 2-3 sandwiches per person, so we were on a lookout for a bigger one. I have to mention here that sandwiches that come out of those combersome-looking long-handled panini grills in general are far superior than the ones made in electric devices!! That being said, this was our first ambiguous experience at first, BUT THE SELLER WAS SO NICE, and refunded without asking for the product to be returned, so… we kept the press, and tried it again.. There is a learning curve for everything! This press is VERY VERY good when used in campfire. It is a bit too heavy/bulky, just perfect for camping. For your home use there are nuances. You have to make sure it heats up EVENLY and THOROUGHLY before you put the sandwich in. Then it works wonders! If you place your panini in a cold press, and then start heating, then yes, it will take much longer to warm up, and the sandwich will come out sort of “steamed” more than grilled. Knowing how to use it properly ensures that you have a superior outcome!!However, like I said, the seller was really nice, which made me try the product again and update my review!

Novel IdeaThe only problem is that you can only make one sandwich at a time. I had 3 sandwiches to make in Texas Summer weather over the gas grill. This really was not fun. I might try it with pie crust in the Winter.I tried to season it on the gas stove inside but it smoked up the whole kitchen so I moved outside to the grill. The sandwiches were great and it works great, just too labor intensive for the outcome.

Works very wellI followed the instructions on seasoning the cast iron and I followed normal cooking instructions (which are not the instructions on the package) by heating the cast iron before putting my sandwich in it. I heated it for 2 minutes on each side, and cooked the sandwich for about the same and it was perfect. I used canola oil to season the iron and pam spray for cooking. I look forward to using it again.I opted for this one because normal pudgie/hobo pie irons are barely big enough for a slice of wonder bread, and I wanted more food without having to make multiple sandwiches. I am very happy with making this decision. The iron fits a six inch hoagie/sub roll very well and cooks it exceptionally. I would recommend this for a cuban style sandwich especially.The handles remove well for traveling, and they have a little widget that keeps the handles together while cooking.

Mmmmm, paniniWe go camping a lot and I was looking for some healthier foods to take along; I thought panini might be tasty and fun. This maker is solid cast iron and very heavy and does well in the campfire. The handles screw in and removes easily for cleanup if desired. There is a rather cheap little hook clasp to hold the two handles together when making a sandwich, and I find it difficult to undo when the maker is hot from the fire, but it actually does do a good job of holding everything tightly together so you get a perfectly cooked sandwich. Toasting a sandwich in this method just makes the flavors come alive, and you really can use just about anything to make your sandwiches. Just some dense bread, sliced deli meat, cheese, onion, arugala, and red pepper hummus made our first sandwiches. The maker comes with a cardboard wrapper that has printed instructions for seasoning the cast iron, along with a little history of panini and some recipe suggestions. I followed the seasoning directions and my first few sandwiches stuck just a little but were easily popped out with a knife. The non-stick surface will develop with time, I’m sure. Used a vegetable oil to season it but now found a sunflower oil spray for making the sandwiches. We also use this at home on a little gas grill but it doesn’t get nearly as hot as a campfire and the cook time is much longer, but it still works. This really is ideal for grill or campfire, but make sure you have someplace to set it while cooking. You really wouldn’t want to try to hold this heavy maker for 8 minutes or so by the handles.

Nice item but handle’s a little flimsy.I loved the idea of getting a cast iron panini cooker because I wanted to avoid the nonstick panini grills out there. It is a very heavy piece, so if the user has problems with hand/wrist strength, this may not be the item for you. The unit is made to be used on the stove (electric or gas), cooking the panini on one side and then flipping over to the other. The two cast iron plates come completely apart at the hinge, and you then have each plate attached to a metal rod with a wooden handle, making clean up easier. However, if the handle problem is fixed, I believe that this would be a really nice item to have in the kitchen.I gave this only 4 stars because when I attempted to unscrew the metal rods from the plates in order to place the plates in the oven to “season” them as instructed, one wooden handle started spinning around the metal rod, and therefore I could not unscrew it from that plate. Looks like the handles are poorly attached to the metal, and should be secured much tighter. So, I am returning the unit after not having been able to test it out, so I can’t speak to how it works.

Love sandwiches made in a pie ironI use this panini press to make sandwiches on the camp chef grill, open fire and stove top. Makes perfect panini sandwiches and adds some fun to the process for the entire family. Great times to be had when you make dinner – custom sandwiches with the family. The only issue I have with Rome products is the amount of work necessary to season the irons before use. No doubt that the irons will last two lifetimes after a proper seasoning and some minor upkeep. Do your self a favor and buy a few of the pie irons, good food and fun times as a family.

How can you live without this!My best buy! Breads don’t stick and I have never had a messy panini out of this press. Each panini takes about 1.5 minutes (45 seconds each side once you have it preheated).If at all I have any complaints, that would be:1. the latch that keeps slipping down to the mould. I wish the ridge in the middle was slighltly bigger to prevent the hook from dropping all the way down. I might be able to have a creative hack – perhaps just tie a wire.2. the width is a bit on the narrow side – I feel 1/2″ extra would let the store bought breads sit comfortably.Both of the above not a big deal. Very satisfied in general and would highly highly recommend to anyone on the fence about this one.
