{"product_id":"the-chefs-press","title":"The Chef's Press","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow made in the UK, this best-selling cooking weight ensures maximum food-to-pan contact for faster, more even cooking. Made from dishwasher-safe stainless steel, it has vents to minimise steam and maximise crispiness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e---DETAILS---\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow manufactured in Sheffield, at the very factory where stainless steel was invented, The Chef's Press is an ingeniously simple tool that has a myriad of benefits. By maximising contact between your ingredients and the pan or BBQ, it cooks food 20-30% faster, evening out heat distribution for perfectly seared chicken, steak, toasties, bacon, vegetables, and so much more. The Chef's Press side-steps three common issues with standard cast iron burger presses and cooking weights – it is vented (to prevent steam and promote browning), dishwasher-safe, and stackable. The stackable design lets you spread the cooking weights across ingredients (if you are cooking large cuts of meat or veg, or large portions); apply extra pressure (when you place one weight on top of another); and store the weights efficiently. They are also great for submerging food for marinades, fermentation, or sous vide. The Sheffield-made version is crafted from rust-proof 304 stainless steel and laser-cut, which provides a flatter cooking surface for better contact with food and a cleaner edge. Every press is made with traditional machinery and finished by hand in a process that generates less waste. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available in a  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/products\/the-chefs-press-round\"\u003e16 oz (round) cooking weight\u003c\/a\u003e or bundled in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/products\/the-chefs-press-3-piece-set\"\u003eThe Chef's Press 3-Piece Rectangular Set\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/products\/the-chefs-press-4-piece-set\"\u003eThe Chef's Press 4-Piece Complete Set\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e As of June 2026, the 19oz press has replaced the 18oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e---BENEFITS--- 'The Chef's Press makes a noticeable difference in preparation and taste – especially with foods that sear unevenly (like chicken breasts) or curl up when cooking (bacon, salmon). The stackable design lets you apply a heavier weight that's perfect for holding down a sirloin that's pulling up on the sides, and holds peppers flat.' \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Chef's Press","offers":[{"title":"8oz","offer_id":41789871390852,"sku":"5176876682788","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"13oz","offer_id":41789871292548,"sku":"5176876682789","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"19oz","offer_id":56698466435458,"sku":"100032516721390","price":52.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/3514\/5604\/files\/the-chefs-press-8oz-2026-borough-kitchen.jpg?v=1781189406","url":"https:\/\/www.boroughkitchen.live\/products\/the-chefs-press","provider":"Borough Kitchen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
