You know what really helps with flavour? Pressure. Food that sits flat on the pan browns; food that curls and lifts steams. The Chef's Press is a weight designed by chef Bruce Hill in the Bay Area that keeps things flat, and you can stack up to four for more pressure, line them up for more surface, or mix sizes.
Need a gift for someone who actually cooks? We cannot think of a better one.
The LADJA team uses it for:
- Chicken thighs, skin down, pressed flat until the skin is glass
- Fish skin that will not curl
- Grilled cheese and smash-style sandwiches
- Holding a sous-vide bag under the water
"Why not a brick in foil?" Because a brick does not go in the dishwasher, does not stack, and does not weigh exactly what it should. This does all three.
