HIC Kitchen's Cast Iron Bacon Press holds bacon flat to cook faster with more crispy surfaces. This helpful cooking tool weighs bacon down against the pan, keeps it from curling and shrinking, and reduces its messy spatter. The generous 7.75-inch cast iron cooking surface distributes heat evenly. Bacon strips cook evenly with more crispy goodness. No more fatty bacon! The press fits 8-inch frying pans perfectly and cooks more bacon at a time. Flat, crispy bacon strips are tastier and easier to stack when making crunchy BLTs. To season the press before first use, wash, rinse, and dry it thoroughly. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil to a frying pan and the Bacon Press.
