Does the grill press fit in the executive grill pan and the professional grill pan??????????
 
Yes, it fits both.
 
Yep - it fits both of them!
 
FYI- DON'T try to use it with a 12"/Family Skillet. The corners will rub the pan and ruin it.
 
Speaking of the grill press...do you like it?? I have it and thought I would use it so much more but I have only used it twice for sandwiches...

Thanks, Ann. I didn't think of that.

I love mine. You can use it as a bacon/hamburger press too. It is heavy enough to use as a leathal weapon. :) Valky

I just ordered it so I am looking forward to using it!
 
I used my grill pan and press for chicken breasts tonight. I sprinkled on some of the new jerk rub and grilled away. The chicken stays so moist and juicy with the press on.

P.S. The jerk rub was delicious! Even my kids ate the chicken, which was surprising - they like grilled chicken, but with nothing on it.
