The Last Press You'll Ever Buy.
Wrought reimagines the panini press as a heavy kitchen instrument. Combining dual-zone casting plates with modular, user-replaceable heating cores, it is engineered for life and crafted from solid ironwork mechanics.
Forged Exterior
Closed ViewDual-Zone Deep Dive
Wrought's independent heating elements allow you to calibrate different temperatures for the top and bottom plates. No thermal bleed, just perfect thermodynamic control.
Sourdough Prosciutto Melt
Melt delicate gruyère cheese from the top without burning, while providing high-heat crisping to the rosemary-oiled sourdough on the bottom.
Lattice-Iron Waffles
A synchronized medium heat on both top and bottom zones lets yeast-risen brioche dough expand uniformly while caramelizing pearl sugar into a golden glaze.
Pressed Croque Monsieur
Bake thick Béchamel and Emmental on the top with a lower temperature to prevent burning, while toast-searing the bottom brioche slice with higher heat.
Add-On Spotlight

Butter/Oil Roller Reservoir
A rotary oil spreader that fits directly onto the press base. Rolling bread across the oil reservoir provides a perfectly thin, even coating for maximum golden crispiness without sogginess.

Engineered for Forged Results
Dual-Zone Independent Heating
Cook delicate components on the top zone while searing the crust on the bottom. Dual isolated thermocouple sensors feed real-time calculations to separate solid-state relays, preventing any thermal crossover.
Parallel-Pressure Hinge System
Standard presses pinch sandwiches, squeezing out fillings. Wrought utilizes an industrial counter-balanced linkage that floats perfectly parallel. Apply uniform weight up to 2 inches thick.
Precision Temperature Probe
An integrated steel-clad probe plugs directly into the casting front. Monitor sandwich core temperature and automatically trigger rest mode once the cheese core hits its perfect melt-point.
Over-Engineered Safety Rest
Heavy-gauge steel supports double-locked latching handles to anchor the press securely. Automatically powers down heating elements after 30 minutes of standby to guarantee kitchen safety.
Automated Rest & Keep-Warm Calibration
When Wrought's precision thermal probe detects that your sandwich core has hit its perfect melting point, the press sounds a solid steel acoustic chime and drops both elements to a gentle 140°F keep-warm hold. Rest your sandwiches without overcooking them or letting them go cold.
Built to be Opened, Cleaned, & Serviced
Quick-Release Levers: Stripped of complex plastics, solid brass releases unlock the top and bottom cast plates instantly. Plates slide out cold or hot for direct sink cleaning.
Dishwasher-Safe Drip Tray: A heavy copper reservoir sits beneath the base, catching fat runoff. Slide it out forward and slide it into the dishwasher.
The Flat Paddle Combo Tool: Every Wrought includes a flat paddle cleaning tool made of firm nylon and silicone that won't scratch seasoning. It features a spatula/lifter edge on one side and a wide comb-scraper edge matched to plate ridges on the other. It clips into the storage stand when not in use.
"One pass, under a minute, while it's still warm."
Cast iron cleans easiest before fat runoff and food residue have a chance to cool and harden. Running the custom comb-scraper edge down the ridges immediately after cooking allows steam to lift oil and carbonized sugar in seconds, preserving your natural polymerized seasoning layer.
"Forged to be opened, not thrown away."
Planned obsolescence is an environmental failure. Wrought is built on true open-hardware principles. No glue, no proprietary screws, no non-repairable heating elements. If a heater element breaks in 20 years, buy a replacement module, un-hex four screws, and slot it in.
