Thread: Cast iron?

Been looking for a decent Cast Iron Steak Press for a while, just picked this one up, 1.45kg, a must for everyone who cooks steaks bacon or burgers.

OK, now I know about a steak press, but I have never used one. I am a very big fan of (cast iron) pan fried steak, and burgers, and bacon. I may have to follow your advice here. Can you share where you got your press from? I am sure I can find one, but it's better to get a recommendation from a user that has already done the research.

Thanks!

Thank you. This is not available at Amazon US. But it looks like Amazon UK will ship it to me. I will give it a try.

I looked on Amazon. ca and I'm sure you'll find it on Amazon.com too.

Can't seem to locate this item on Amazon US. Amazon.CA does not surprise me as there is a closer relationship with Amazon UK than there is from Amazon US to Amazon UK.

I can order it via UK. Probably via .CA as well.

Couple additions to the kitchen.

3.2 quart combo cooker.
Dutch oven w/frying pan,/lid. And a 1 pint melting pot for keeping sauce's warm, on the smoker/grill.



Breakin it in with a pound of bacon, after its 3rd seasoning. Gonna need a 5 or 6 quart, too.

interesting. I have never used a bacon or steak press.

So you have to preheat these before use?

You don't have to, but you can if you so wish it helps quicken the cooking, just leave it in your cast iron griddle pan while it gets up to the cooking temperature then remove and pop it on top of the steak burger or bacon.

Damn Jamie, I didn't even know i needed one of those, now I have to get one too.

What with a Chosera, knife rods and now a steak press, I'm eating baked beans to pay for it
