(More customer reviews)I've been wanting Giada's Cast-Iron Panini Pan with Press for a while now. My husband finally bought it for me for my birthday. It's beautiful and I love the way it looks. I was sooooo excited to use it. I went out and purchased the finest ingredients to make gourmet panini for my family. There was no instructions as to any seasoning of the product. I made sure to brush oil on the outside of the bread as well as a little on the pan to make sure there was no sticking. Sure enough the time came to turn the panini. As I lifted the press off I saw a nice beginning then I attempted to turn the panini over and my panini ripped. Then I proceeded on to place the press and continue to cook. Agian the other side stuck. As I plated it and took a bite. The flavor was great and it did it's job however beacuse the bread stuck to the pan the center of the panini was soft and mushy. I was really bummed. For the next one I put on more oil but I had the ripping occured everytime. I then looked up cast-iron pans on the internet. The pan needed to be seasoned. I oiled the pan and put it in an oven at 300 for 30 minutes. The next time I attempted it again but I had the same result. don't know what I'm going to do with this pan now. I'm thinging of trying to cook chicken on it. Let me know if anyone has experienced the same problem as myself.
