Chef's Press

Yes, the Chef's Press is designed to be safe for use on nonstick cookware. Its smooth stainless steel construction ensures it won't damage delicate surfaces when used properly.

The presses are designed with a flat, stable profile that allows you to nest or stack them on top of one another. This lets you customize the amount of weight applied to your food, which is particularly useful for thicker cuts of meat that require more pressure.

The 8oz and 13oz rectangular models are excellent for lighter items like fish or grilled sandwiches. If you are regularly searing thicker steaks or burgers, the 18oz rectangular or 16oz circular presses provide the extra heft needed for a deeper, more uniform crust.

Yes, the entire unit is made from durable stainless steel and is completely dishwasher safe. You can simply place it in the dishwasher after use for a thorough and easy cleanup.

Absolutely. Because the press is made of high-quality stainless steel, it is perfectly safe to use for weighing down food bags in a sous vide water bath.

While the stainless steel construction is heat-resistant, the handle can become warm depending on the duration of cooking and proximity to the heat source. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt if the press has been sitting on a hot pan for an extended period.
