J. Smith: I wrap it in foil before I use it for bacon. It makes clean-up very easy. Nice and heavy. I like it.

Purchaser117: Per the instructions I washed it intensly with hot soapy water and dried it completly.

I then put a little Peanut Oil (working with what I had) in my cast iron pan and spread it thin with a paper towel. I the used the same paper towel to spread the excess oil on the bottom plate of the iron.

The manual said to place it in the pan on low for 30 minutes... but that wasnt really working for my pan and stove, so I moved the temp up a low medium (just below the smoke point for my oil) and let it go another 15 minutes. This resulted in a perfect conditioning, YMMV.

There is, or course, a hot iron odor while this is happening. Thats OK.

Be sure you have a trivit or hotplate ready when you take the iron out of the pan when cooking. Otherwise, this let me have PERFECTLY crispy flat bacon for breakfast yesterday. :D

**NOTE** Your bacon will probably cook a little faster as its trapped now, so the first few times, monitor the process closely. I know mine did. Enjoy!

Overall very please with this kitchen gadget.

smallmob: This bacon press does exactly that: keep bacon flat while it fries! Just lift it up to check to see when to flip your slices. They will be cooked a lot faster on the second side! I hand wash using a soap pad and dry it immediately. (Just consider it to be like an iron skillet.)

The ExplorographerThe Explorographer: For those saying it rusts, all cast iron rusts. Never wash and leave to dry. If you MUST wash the press, dry thoroughly and then immediately re-season it with vegetable oil and heat. Treat this just as you would any cast iron pan. You must season your cast iron. Do so and it will last you forever. This is no different. We've made smash burgers, bacon and even used it for hot dogs. Good weight to it and it is well made.

Mattis: I have become a real fan of Sous Vide cooking. As you may know, one of the "issues" with Sous Vide is the problem with getting a good sear at the end of the process. I figured that this "bacon press" might be just the thing and it was!. I dry my Sous Vide food after it is done and then place it in the refrigerator to truly dry out and to cool. Then when the cast iron skillet on my grill is smoking hot, I put the chop or steak into the seasoned skillet and place the preheated "bacon press" on the top. It is the perfect weight for this process. This results in perfect sear every time. One minor issue is that since the handle of the "bacon press" is wood, it quickly discolours in the heat. Also, to prevent the "bacon press" from sticking to the meat make sure that you have some fat or oil on top of the meat as well and slide the "bacon press" back and forth over the meat to prevent sticking. Also be sure to season the "bacon press" properly.
