I wanted to use this press for making Cuban sandwiches, but the press has grill lines.  Often the sandwiches are pressed too deeply because of the grill line scores.  This is supposedly flexible since the back hinge allows you to pull up a little, but with the weight of the top press, this is not often the case.  I looked into whether flat grills were offered to either insert or remove and replace, but none were available.  I suppose if you are looking for a press that has very deep grill lines, then this one is for you.  This is not what I wanted, however.  Functionally, this product heats well, is resistant to adhering foods.  Alternately, aside from drip risk, I also think this press is more suitable for use as a grill of low-drip items.
