Breville as well. Use it all the time. Nice unit. No complaints.

I do something similar to thirdeye's method. I heat up two pans one the stove. One is a cast iron griddle (flat... no sides), and the other is just a regular CI frying pan. I put the sandwich on the griddle, then press it with the frying pan. (And I can whip up a mean cuban sandwich!) :becky:

Need some help here. Which is the better press, the Cuisinart or the Breville?

I don't have a lot of experience, but used the Griddler at the in-law's this last weekend and it seemed pretty solid.

I would think the Cuisinart would be a better choice. I like the separate controls for the top and bottom and the two sets of plates.

Smooth,
I just got the Lodge color porcelain on cast iron for my bride for Christmas. We love it. Plenty of weight, and surprisingly the cooking surfaces are black porcelain also, not cast iron as I expected when ordering, so it doesn't need seasoning, and cleans up quick with no corrosion.

With this lid, heavy enough to make awesome Reuben's!

My griddle does have the raised grill on the other side if you want the grill marks.

Griddler here as well. Got it as a wedding present and really like it. As a sandwich/panini press it's fantastic, as a griddle, not so much. Problem is when it's laid open in "griddle mode" there are no supports to keep the griddles flat, so one is usually at a cockeyed angle, leading to weird shaped pancakes and runaway fried eggs. Only other problem is that after a few years of vigorous cleaning, the printing on the unit denoting the various settings has worn off. Now every time I use it, I need to look up a picture of it on the web so I know how to position the knobs for the setting I want.

I use bricks wrappen in foil. Work great and cheap!

I'm just a poor boy from a poor family, but I use a glass casserole dish with large cans of whatever we have on hand. I've also used bricks if I'm not on the stove top.

Pampered Chef has a decent press: http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/catalog/product.jsp?productId=13780&categoryCode=CW
I use it on the stove regularly for making grilled cheese sandwiches. I heat it and a tortilla griddle to about 500° F and put the sandwich on with the press on top of it. It's big enough for two sandwiches (if bread is not too big) and has ridges for nice looking marks.

Thanks everyone, after reading a lot of reviews, and I mean A LOT! I went with the Breville.
