Know before you buy
The 8 oz. and 13 oz. presses allow you to control the amount of pressure applied to your food. You can use a single press for lighter items like fish or stack them together to create a heavier weight for searing steaks, pressing paninis, or flattening chicken cutlets.
Yes, these are designed for both stovetop and grill use. The stainless steel construction is heat-resistant and durable enough to handle high-heat searing, making them ideal for getting a crisp crust on sandwiches or even contact on grilled vegetables.
If you are cooking a larger item that exceeds the footprint of a single press, you can arrange them in a staggered or side-by-side pattern. This allows you to cover more surface area while maintaining consistent pressure across the entire piece of food.
Yes, the handles are designed to be interchangeable and stackable across the entire Chef's Press line. This allows you to mix and match components if you decide to expand your collection later.
Cleaning is straightforward. You can wash them by hand with hot water and soap, or simply place them in the dishwasher, as the stainless steel construction is fully dishwasher safe.
