Ideal for bacon grilled sandwiches and hamburgers and quesadillas, this bacon press features a wooden handle that stays cool to the touch when pressing down hard to get perfectly flat bacon. It includes instructions for seasoning before use, cleaning and storage. We're always wondering how to get better flat bacon besides doing it oven style on cookie sheets, so perhaps this is our next bacon related purchase.

The probe is made of a stainless-steel stem, and comes with an antibacterial storage and carrying sleeve. Temperature range of -40 to 450 degrees F so you can run the gambit on just about anything sans lava.
