Know before you buy
No, this steak weight is not pre-seasoned. You will need to season the cast iron surface before your first use to build up a natural non-stick layer and prevent rust.
No, this product is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the cast iron, you should hand wash it with warm water and dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
Yes, the handle is heat-resistant and the entire press is oven-safe. However, always use caution when removing it from the oven, as the silicone will still be hot to the touch.
Yes, the cast iron construction is compatible with induction stovetops, as well as gas and electric ranges.
This press weighs 2 lbs. It provides sufficient weight to ensure even contact for a superior sear and to prevent curling, though it is designed to assist the cooking process rather than flatten thick cuts of meat entirely.
