Chef’s Press Stainless Steel Cooking Weight
The Chef’s Press is a stainless-steel cooking weight designed to solve one simple problem: food lifting away from the pan.
When ingredients curl, buckle, or trap steam, browning becomes uneven and texture suffers. The Chef’s Press applies gentle, even pressure while allowing moisture to escape, so food stays flat, cooks faster, and develops better color and texture and flavor.
What it improves
- Even contact between food and pan or grill
- More consistent browning and searing
- Less oil required for better results
- Flatter cooking for fish, bacon, vegetables, and sandwiches, etc.
Unlike cast-iron presses, the Chef’s Press is vented and precisely weighted. It doesn’t crush food or trap steam... it simply keeps ingredients where they belong.
How cooks use it
- Fish: keeps fillets flat for crisp, even skin
- Burgers & steaks: promotes uniform crust edge-to-edge
- Vegetables: faster browning with better texture
- Sandwiches & quesadillas: even toast without squeezing
- Bacon: flat, controlled cooking with less splatter
