What is the difference between using the round and the SQAURE press? (other than that it fits a round / square grill pan)

This particular round press is good and heavy. That is a main difference between it and our square one. And yes, fitting the round pan is a plus. If there was a heavier square one, we would like to have it for griddle cooking. Other than that, I can't think of any other differences.

Depends on whether you like round or square hamburgers . I guess if you were doing bacon the square one would be better.Square things like sandwiches would go better with a square press - while small pizzas would like round presses.

I have both the round and the square. The round is perfect for a skillet but I also have a griddle pan that is rectangular in shape from LeCreuset so really the only difference is the shape of the pan you're going to use it with. I like the round one because it's heavier.

I have and use both the round and square. In my opinion there is no difference other than the shape of the pan or the item being pressed. I find that I prefer a rectangular press when cooking some grilled sandwiches.

Mine is round....mine just barely fits my American Standard to list. But I love it, easy to wipe clean.FascinatedHow it closes.

I had a Farberware square skillet and this heat controller did not work with it as the probe was too long. Don't know about the round griddle.

The diameter is 4 and 6/10 inches. So it is a little over 4 and one half inches. If you make a dimple in the middle it doesn't shrink. I like a thicker burger, so I don't use the dimple maker that comes with the press. I can easily make half pound burgers with this press and then make a dimple in the middle and grill it! I use it all the time and it should last many years. Very well made!

Yes they make square ones with rounded corners. Or you can trim a rectangular down to fit it also. You don't want to completely cover the grilling surface. You need open areas to let some of the heat escape.

It really depends on how much you plan to grill vs griddle at one time. I used the grill side to make breakfast meats while using the griddle to make pancakes and french toast. If you need the griddle space... get the double. I prefer the half so I can have the option of both at once, and will likely buy the other single griddle to have as well for times I only need griddle.

Both round. One fits inside the other. This one is good. Very strong. I broke one model on a larger lemon than I should've tried. I bought this to replace. Works great. Don't think I could break this one

I am not aware of a square cover - I have a glass cover that is 10 inches, but I am out of stock right now... they sell as fast I can get them... You have chosed the Flat Iron Grill press to ask the question... Are you speaking of a grill press or a lid for a cast iron skillet. I am working on getting more glass covers.

I don't know - but it is rectangular vs oval so that needs to be the shape of the roaster oven. I gave mine to someone with the correct shape one and it works fine. The pans are quite long and hold more than it looks like they would.

I have both pieces and they work well together. Hint: when the frying pan is heating, lay the press in the empty pan to heat right along with the pan. Then, when you add the food, it will grill on both sides. We grill mostly vegetables but it is great for Panini sandwiches, meat etc.

Correct, it is round. Make sure if you have the round bore that you have the correct size. I made that mistake. Lol

This one works on square goose neck not round I had a round one so mine that's still new didnt work&#128545;

No. The press is flat. You need to turn whatever you are cooking over to get grill marks on both sides.

No, because the curved part needs to fit against the curved part of the round grill.

Round. It has legs on both sides - longer ones to get your food closer to the heat source which is in the top of the machine, and shorter ones for greater distance. Because of the legs you're pretty much limited to the diameter of the rack for your cooking container. And be careful when removing the rack from the oven when you're done: wicket hot!!

I do not have the round pan. I have the meatloaf or loaf pan and the sides are smooth and the bottom has ridges. I have the bundt pan which is smooth and the muffin pan which is smooth.

Hi Brandon, I have not compared it to the rectangular, I only have this one. But for the price, I've been happy with it for what it is and what it does.
