EWFEN xike-0079US Griddle Set with Stainless Steel Dome and Cast Iron Press

Covering burgers on a flat-top griddle helps trap steam while a press can flatten patties or hold bacon against the cooking surface. This EWFEN set pairs a round melting dome with a separate cast iron press for those two tasks.

The dome is listed as 12.5 inches in diameter and made from 304 stainless steel, with a plastic handle. The press is 7 inches across, made from cast iron, and has a wooden handle.

One detail to note before choosing: the product title calls the dome 12 inches, while the specifications give its diameter as 12.5 inches. The listed dimensions are 12.5"L x 12.5"W x 0.1"Th.

Key takeaways

The dome and press serve different purposes: use the cover to contain heat and steam over food, and the press to apply weight to burgers, bacon, or sandwiches. The listing describes the dome’s rolled rim as directing condensation back along the cover, and says its handle is heatproof. It also describes the dome as dishwasher safe. The cast iron press can be seasoned like a cast iron skillet, according to the product details.

The set is described for flat-top, gas, pellet, electric, and other listed grill types, as well as skillets. That makes it more flexible than buying a cover or press for a single cooking task, but shoppers who only need one of these tools may prefer to look for that item on its own.

Buyer feedback is generally positive about the set’s usefulness for smash burgers and other griddle cooking, and some appreciate the dome’s coverage for multiple patties. Durability feedback is mixed: some find it sturdy, while others report it came apart before use. Buyers also mention concerns about rust resistance, so the feedback does not establish uniform durability.

Quick sizing guide

The dome’s listed diameter is 12.5 inches, while the press measures 7 inches across. The product name uses “12 Inch” for the dome, so the more specific dimension in the specifications may be useful when comparing it with your cooking surface or storage space. The listing also gives overall dimensions of 12.5"L x 12.5"W x 0.1"Th, it does not provide a separate height for the dome.

You’ll appreciate it if your usual griddle meals include burgers that benefit from a cover and a separate pressing tool. For a cooking setup where precise fit matters, compare the stated diameter with the area you plan to cover rather than assuming the dome spans the whole surface.

Usage tips

Use the dome when you want to cover food on a griddle, and use the press when you want to apply weight directly to bacon, burgers, or sandwiches. The listing also names vegetables, poultry, flatbreads, and quesadillas among its suggested uses. Its two handles differ by component: plastic on the dome and wood on the press, so handle each according to its own design rather than treating the set as a single tool.

The press is cast iron, and the product information says it can be seasoned like cast iron cookware. Since buyers mention rust concerns, care may matter after cooking, the available information does not specify a rust-prevention routine for the press. The dome, by contrast, is described as dishwasher safe.

When it makes sense

This set makes sense when you expect to use both a cover and a press for flat-top cooking, rather than buying a basic single-purpose tool. It can suit a meal where patties are pressed on the hot surface and then covered, or where the dome is used to cover vegetables while other food cooks nearby. The listing presents it for several grill and griddle formats, but does not give dimensions for confirming fit on a particular model.

It’s not for you if you only need a dome or only need a press, or if you require confirmed long-term rust resistance or durability, those points are not established by the product details, and buyer comments on sturdiness are mixed. If you prioritize a specific fit, the listed 12.5-inch dome diameter is the practical measurement to use when deciding.
