Precise contact, consistent browning: With its 5.5-in diameter, the press blankets each strip for uniform pressure across bacon slices, helping them cook evenly and stay flat instead of curling.
-
Heavy-duty cast iron: The weight and heat retention of cast iron keep pressure steady as fat renders, promoting quick, even browning and a crisp bite.
-
Simple, durable design: A classic black finish and bare-bones construction mean this tool stays reliable in busy kitchens and endures season after season.

Dishwasher unsafe: To preserve the finish and longevity, this bacon press should be cleaned by hand after use.
