Product Information
Full details
The Deglon Sabatier Steak Weight is an essential tool for professional chefs and home cooks alike who seek consistent, restaurant-quality grilling results. By applying uniform pressure to steaks, burgers, and other meats, this cast iron weight prevents curling and significantly reduces cooking time while ensuring even heat distribution. While its durable construction is excellent for performance, users should note that the cast iron requires hand-washing to prevent rust, making it less convenient than dishwasher-safe kitchen tools.

FAQs
Can I use this on a glass-top stove?
It is not recommended to slide the heavy iron press across glass or ceramic stovetops as it may cause scratches. Always set it down gently.
Is the wooden handle removable?
The handle is designed for permanent, secure attachment. It is not intended for regular removal.
Can this weight be used on a sandwich press?
Yes, it is excellent for pressing sandwiches to achieve a crispy, golden-brown finish.
How heavy is this steak press?
While exact weight can vary slightly, it is cast iron, providing sufficient density to flatten most meats effectively without being overly cumbersome.
Why is my press turning black?
This is likely the seasoning buildup from cooking. As long as it is dry and not flaking, this is normal for cast iron tools.
Troubleshooting
Surface of the press is showing rust spots
Gently scrub the rust with steel wool, wash with mild soap, dry thoroughly, and apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to re-season the metal.
Food is sticking to the bottom of the press
Ensure the press is properly seasoned and consider brushing a light layer of oil on the bottom of the press before placing it on the meat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready for use immediately but should be handled with care to prolong its lifespan. Always place the weight on a stable, flat surface before adding your meat. It is compatible with gas, electric, and charcoal grills, as well as heavy-duty stovetop pans.
Care Instructions:
- Do not put in the dishwasher: Moisture and harsh detergents will strip the seasoning and cause the iron to rust.
- Hand wash only: Use warm water and a light brush. Avoid excessive soap.
- Dry thoroughly: Wipe the press completely dry immediately after washing. You may place it on a warm stove burner for a minute to ensure all moisture evaporates.
- Maintain Seasoning: Occasionally wipe the cast iron surface with a thin layer of vegetable oil to keep it rust-resistant and non-stick.
