Review on Norpro Cast Iron Bacon Press with Wood Handle - High-Quality and Round by Carol Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Big size! Looks great. after setting.

See my photos and tutorial videos on YouTube about cast iron seasoning. I just received it although I haven't used it yet. Cast iron is cast iron and will treat you well if you treat it well. I look forward to using this press beacon. When I received it as a cast iron fanatic I didn't find it usable until I made some adjustments. It had some sort of finish on the iron so I decided to take it off and reseason it and now it looks amazing and black like cast iron. The handle wasn't too strong either, so I made a new one out of a dead branch in the yard, which looks better anyway. This is exactly what I wanted and with simple custom work it is now very personal. I like the look and strength of cast iron! This was a fun project and will become a very treasured part of my cast iron plate collection. You can see my full re-seasoning process on my YouTube channel, Rocky Mountain Scouter. If you like custom work, it's worth buying. The handle can be easily removed for safe use in the oven. Once seasoned, simply rub in more oil after each use, as you do with all cast irons.
