I don't have the LC press, but have used a foil-covered brick for weight and then flip the sandwich to get grill marks on both sides. More frequently, I use my Geo Forman grill to make my paninis--not as heavy and a snap to clean. Thanks for the detailed instructions! I’ve used my LC grill pan in a pinch when I make panini.

I used regular dish soap - just nothing with a harsh abrasive. Glad it was helpful! I used regular dish soap – just nothing with a harsh abrasive.

I've made some great steaks with it. Paninis were delicious, too, but your advice about heat level, etc. is helpful. However, cleaning it has been the biggest problem. So, no soap???

I didn't try heating the press directly in the pan but it makes a ton of sense. Will try it that way next time. Thanks so much for that great tip, Brenda!

I have a cast iron panini grill to (it's my only one) because I was too cheap to buy the electric one! Plus I didn't have the cabinet space for another small appliance. This LC one sure is much prettier than mine--may have to check them out when I'm at the outlet mall this weekend at my inlaws'! BTW, I just put the "lid" directly on the pan (rather than setting it on a separate burner) while it heats. Maybe it doesn't get as hot as your way but it seems to work for me and then I don't have to worry about any flare ups. Oh, and the cast iron press is great to take camping too! .-= Meal Plan Mom (Brenda)´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mealplanningmagic.com/2010/03/menu-plan-monday-part-two.html" rel="nofollow">Menu Plan Monday!

I think I'd use it more than my electrical monster - something about using it on the gas stove sounds much more appealing to me :) I adore my LC grill pan so this panini press sounds like a wise investment.

I figured out the press warming after some mediocre top grilling. I have a Mario Ba-somebody cast iron pannini grilland the owner's manual was skimpy. since i have a smooth top stove, and couldn't see how to get all the oil off after a few uses, I put aluminum foil on the burner and the press on that. No flames yet. No smoldering. I will just keep trying. We are going to try grilling fresh fruit (blueberries, pineapple, etc w coconut oil to put over separately grilled chicken. .-= The What If Girl´s last blog ..<a href="http://thewhatifgirl.com/2010/03/31/379/" rel="nofollow"></a> =-.
