FAQs

How do I season the cast iron press?

Wash and dry the press thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil, then heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for an hour. Let cool and repeat this process several times.

Can I use soap to clean the steak press?

It is generally recommended to avoid soap, as it can strip the seasoning. Use hot water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush.

How do I remove stuck-on food?

Gently scrub with coarse salt and oil to remove stubborn food particles.

How do I prevent rust?

Dry the press immediately and thoroughly after each use. Re-season the press if rust appears.

Can I use the steak press on an induction cooktop?

Yes, if used with a compatible skillet or griddle.

What kind of oil should I use for seasoning?

Use cooking oils with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or flaxseed oil.

How often should I season the press?

Season as needed, typically when the surface appears dull or food starts to stick.

Troubleshooting

Food sticks to the press.

Re-season the cast iron press. Ensure you've built up a good layer of seasoning and preheat the press before use.

Rust appears on the press.

Remove the rust with steel wool or a scrub brush. Wash, dry thoroughly, and re-season the press immediately.

Uneven cooking or browning.

Ensure the press is making full contact with the food. Check that your cooking surface is level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Before first use, wash the steak press with hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Season the cast iron by applying a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire surface. Heat the press in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for an hour, then let it cool. Repeat this process a few times to build up a durable, non-stick surface.

Care

Cleaning: After each use, clean the press with hot water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Avoid using soap, as it can strip the seasoning. If food is stuck, gently scrub with a bit of coarse salt and oil.
Drying: Dry the press immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust. You can place it on the stovetop over low heat to ensure it's completely dry.
Seasoning: Regularly season the press with cooking oil to maintain its non-stick properties. Re-season as needed if the surface appears dull or if food starts to stick.
