About The Chef’s Press The Chef’s Press was created by Chef Bruce Hill while he was working in a tiny kitchen of Bix Restaurant in San Francisco. The traditional cast iron weights were too heavy for many dishes and also trapped steam. Hill created a weight adjustable tool that lets food cook 20-30% faster and is vented to release moisture. This one handy tool offers better results with greater ease. Are you shopping for someone else who loves to cook? Browse all our brilliant food gifts.
