Professional Results at Home
Restaurants and diners have used bacon presses for decades to achieve consistent, professional results. Now you can bring that same level of quality to your home cooking. The substantial weight (5 lbs) of cast iron provides the perfect amount of pressure without crushing delicate foods, while the rectangular shape fits standard bacon strips and sandwich bread perfectly.
Superior Cast Iron Construction
Cast iron's exceptional heat retention means this press doesn't just weigh down your food—it actively helps cook it. The press absorbs and radiates heat from above while your pan cooks from below, creating faster, more even cooking. The pre-seasoned surface is ready to use right out of the box and improves with each use.
Versatile Cooking Tool
Use on any cooking surface including gas, electric, ceramic, and induction stovetops, plus outdoor grills and griddles. The compact 6.75" x 4.5" size is perfect for standard bacon strips, burger patties, and sandwich bread, while the 5-pound weight provides ideal pressure without being unwieldy.
The Smash Burger Secret
Create trendy smash burgers with crispy, caramelized edges just like your favorite burger joints. Press ground beef balls onto a hot griddle or skillet for that perfect crust and maximum flavor. The bacon press gives you the weight and control needed for authentic smash burger technique.
Easy Care & Maintenance
Pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. Simply hand wash with warm water, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coating of oil. With proper care, this bacon press will serve your kitchen for generations, developing a better seasoning and non-stick surface with each use.
