9 Best Grill Presses for Perfect Marks Every Time

This durable cast iron grill press comes in at nearly three pounds - perfect for perfectly even sandwiches (did someone say grilled cheese?) and for squeezing excess fat out of meats. 

It's easy to like a grill press that nearly fills the whole width of your cast iron pan. At just under nine inches in diameter, this grill press from Bellemain is ideal for stovetop grilling and frying. 

If the name doesn't say it... this is a grill press for burgers. Use it before the meat hits the heat to flatten out your patties perfectly, then toss it on again to keep cooking as even as possible. 

Incredibly versatile, super easy to take care of and keep clean, and ready to use for a variety of cooking techniques, this square stainless steel press is specifically designed to reduce cooking time. 

Another great rectangular pick, this cast iron grill press from Victoria comes totally pre-seasoned so you can use it straight away. The ergonomic wooden handle also helps keep your hands safe from burns. 

Say it with us: "bacon". This press keeps bacon strips nice and flat, avoiding the curls and ridges that naturally pop up when frying bacon in a skillet. 

Great for grills and griddles, on gas, electric, and induction stoves alike, this eight inch wide circular press is a particularly highly rated pick for burgers, steaks, and pork chops. 

What we like about this nine inch by five inch cast iron grill press is the grid-patterned texture on the wide base that helps release extra grease and cook your barbecue evenly. 

At three pounds of weight and a cool-to-the-touch coiled handle, you can keep this grill press firmly in place over and over again as you take care of all the burgers and steaks at the party.
