Know before you buy
The 2.4 lb weight provides consistent pressure, which helps flatten food for even cooking, faster searing, and better contact with the heat source. It is particularly effective for achieving a crispy crust on burgers, bacon, and paninis.
The press comes pre-seasoned, but like all cast iron, it performs best when you hand-wash it, dry it thoroughly immediately after use, and apply a light coat of oil before storing. Avoid using harsh soaps or the dishwasher to preserve the non-stick surface.
Yes, this press is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, ovens, and outdoor grills. Its cast iron construction is highly durable and can withstand temperatures up to 1500°F.
The stainless steel wire handle folds down flat against the plate, which significantly reduces the vertical profile of the press. This makes it much easier to stack in a drawer or pack into a camping kit compared to presses with fixed, upright handles.
The surface is naturally non-stick thanks to the flaxseed oil seasoning and the CNC-smoothed finish. While it is not a synthetic non-stick coating, it provides a reliable, chemical-free surface that improves with regular use and proper care.
