How heavy is this item? I assume it is made of cast iron.

I don't know if it's cast iron or not, but it's not heavy at all. I can pick it up easily with 1 hand. It's not a big bulky item either & can be stored easily in a cabinet or deep drawer. I love it! Cores, peels, & slices all at once! Wish I'd had it years ago!

It is made VERY sturdy! and the suction cup on the bottom is really good!!!! Easy to clean. I can hold it with one hand so it is not THAT heavy, but it is made of cast iron.

It's aluminum. If it were iron or steel it would weigh a ton! It is cast aluminum, meaning the aluminum is melted and poured into a mold. This makes the edges rough and gives it a cast iron look.

It feels and looks like wrought iron. Probably cast metal. It's heavy and looks black to me. Goes with a rustic look. Mine is screwed into wood so it doesn't wiggle.

I'm sorry, I don't know the exact weight but since it is iron made it is quite heavy, I would say it should be at least double the weight of a cast iron large size frying pane, hope this helps

No idea how much it weighs. It will say on the outside on the box if you look up the model number. Average weight for a good iron. It works great, I really love mine.

Mine has a lot of weight on it, but no one piece is cast iron. I would suspect that it would have no trouble with that, assuming that the bar is firmly anchored from its ends. It is an extremely sturdy, heavy-duty piece.

It is truly cast iron. Wall thickness and bottom are both about 1/4". Much heavier than a cast iron skillet

Hi No it is not made out of cast iron. That person gave the wrong review. It is made out of porclain and is Made in Japan.

It's cast iron so it's solid. As it says in the Amazon description, it is 5.6 pounds. I love it!

I'm not sure precisely, but it is very lightweight in my opinion. Like aluminum, not cast iron weight. Hope this helps.

I think it's about 5 or 6 pounds. Much lighter than similar grills made out of cast iron.

It is a full-sized iron, but it doesn't seem heavy to me. I don't know the weight. If it were heavy I couldn't handle it.

It is not aluminum but not heavy enough to be straight cast iron. It cooks like cast iron. Hope that helps.

Sorry I don't know. It's painted black and I thought pretty heavy. It doesn't scream AL to me, but I'm really not sure. Jim

It is heavier than non stick. But not as heavy as traditional cast iron. I would say weight is not that much an issue
