Grilling Bagels in a Cast Iron Skillet

RE: Grilling Bagels in a Cast Iron Skillet By (Guest Post) I always put a fry pan on top of the item and weight it down with my "cooking brick". I bought a new brick, scrubbed it down well and covered it with aluminum foil, which can be changed as needed. Works great.

That's how I cook panini-style sandwiches!

Should not cost too much, just clean real well.

Know however, that this weighted can can come tumbling off with changes in heat as the bagels may shift. I have tried the washed brick in foil, and have to tell you that my conscience always grumbles because I wonder if it is really and truly clean or if something is leaking through the foil or the openings in the foil. Can you just go to a hardware store and buy a bacon press? I did and am a lot happier.

Works like a charm.

I personally like the Brick'n foil method, but the can is somewhat easier if you're a little gal.

The brick should be washed first as good as possible but covering with some foil will keep from transferring anything dirty from the brick. I have seen them use foil covered bricks on foodnetwork to do paninis.
