What does the underside of this press look like? Is there a nail (to attached the handle to the press) on the underside that is exposed to the food?

Hello, No, on the underside, it is completely smooth and shows no nail indications. I hope this helps! Ann

The handles are spot welded on the outside of the pot. Nothing is exposed on the inside of the pot.

When you lift the handle, the heating plate is lifted exposing the actual pressing area.

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.

not a problem @ all. tip: place 2 circles of wax paper between each side of press when pressing tort. (1 piece on top and 1 piece on bottom. that way the dough wont stick to the press.

You will need a hand primer. I believe only the more expensive progressive presses will prime

My pot has a dimple inside where the handle is connected. It is not hollow.

No. You can see on the inside four tiny marks from where steel pins were forged to the carafe to attach the handle on the outside. It is a smooth join with only minor indentations. I use this at least four times a week and am pleased with it.

No, there is no cover. I use a bacon press as a cover and it works very well.

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

I'm guessing it could be a slightly different handle, going by a steamer insert that I ordered last year. You may want to compare photos carefully.

Yes, there is a plastic insert which is screwed into the top half of the handle.I would suspect it is to keep you from picking up a hot all metal handle. It's very well made.

First what type of press do you own? If single stage is for the press. In progressive press you don't use it. I don't use a priming tool but I guess you can use it because you need the shell holder to keep your case in place.

I have no idea. The press I have is very much in tact and I have used it quite a bit. I would go back to the company who sold it through Amazon and depending on when you purchased it, maybe they would consider a replacement or repair. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yes but it's not a complete seal, there's a slight gap at the mouth of the press.

With the handle, the press is 12" deep x 14" wide by 7-1/2" tall closed. If you look at the picture of the press open, you may see that the top swivels on the handle allowing it to press something as thick as 2" maybe a little more with the plates still parallel. It is limited by the electrical cord that connects from the bottom to the top. We really love this press.
