Heavyduty, foodgrade cast iron construction: Made from 100% foodgrade cast iron so you avoid PTFE or PFOA chemicals. Durable material provides steady, even weight for pressing and longlasting performance. Smooth, flat pressing surface: The polished bottom delivers uniform thickness for burgers, bacon and sandwiches while minimizing sticking. The flat profile helps food make consistent contact with the cooking surface for even browning and faster cook times. Surface resists rust and is easy to clean; dishwasher safe. Safetouch, comfortgrip handle: Staycool synthetic wood handle is ergonomically shaped to reduce hand fatigue and provide a secure grip. The handle is smooth with no burrs, insulates against heat transfer, and stays cool to touch. It is firmly attached to the cast iron press with two screws. Saves time and improves results: Apply controlled weight and pressure to flatten meat, crush burgers, or press paninis so everything contacts the pan evenly. That means quicker searing, reduced cooking time, and more consistent results across multiple portions. Versatile and easy to use: Works for bacon, smash burgers, steaks and paninis. Use on skillets, griddles or flat grills to press food down and speed up cooking without complicated steps. Practical use scenarios: Smash burgers: Place a loosely packed patty on a hot griddle, press with the cast iron press to a uniform thickness, hold briefly for a crisp, even sear and fast cookthrough. Bacon and small cuts: Press slices flat for faster, more even rendering and crispness across each rasher. Paninis and steaks: Press sandwiches for tighter contact and grill marks, or press small steaks to improve surface searing when using a skillet or griddle.
