Stop sacrificing sear quality for speed. This cast iron steak weight combines substantial mass with a heat-resistant wooden handle to deliver consistent contact, reduced cooking time, and uniform browning across cuts of meat. Designed for kitchens where output and consistency are essential, the plate provides repeatable results that enhance throughput without compromising finish.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Wipe cast iron surface with a damp cloth after each use, then dry immediately to prevent rust. Remove food residue with a soft brush and mild detergent; rinse and dry. Rub a thin layer of neutral oil while hot to restore seasoning. Clean the wood handle with a damp cloth only. Sanitize high-touch contact zones regularly to prevent germ transfer, deter pests, maintain compliance with CSA standards, and preserve finish and service life.#@@#Additional Info#@#Thunder Group SLKSW108 cast iron steak weight measures 4-1/8" x 8-1/4" with an 8.25" ribbed base and wood handle, weighing 2.16 pounds.

Stop sacrificing sear quality for speed.

#@@# Weight Distribution#@#
The rectangular cast iron body concentrates 2.16 pounds of mass over an 8.25-inch width to increase contact pressure and promote the Maillard reaction across the surface. Chefs achieve faster searing and more uniform browning, reducing time at the grill while maintaining the desired doneness.
#@@# Ribbed Contact Surface#@#
A ribbed bottom channels juices and reduces surface suction, ensuring consistent airflow and preventing steam buildup beneath the weight. Operators retain crust integrity and avoid sogginess, preserving texture during high-volume production.
#@@# Heat-Resistant Handle#@#
A wooden handle isolates heat transfer and allows safe repositioning during service without tools or gloves. Line cooks gain tactile control when applying or removing the weight, improving speed and reducing the risk of burns.
#@@# Cast Iron Construction#@#
Solid cast iron provides thermal mass that recovers heat rapidly after placement, stabilizing surface temperature during continuous use. The material withstands repeated commercial service and resists warping under high heat cycles.
#@@# Compact Footprint#@#
Measuring 4.13 inches deep by 8.25 inches wide, the weight fits on standard flat-top sections and griddles without occupying excessive workspace. Kitchens maximize countertop real estate while adding functional equipment for sandwiches, steaks, and pressed items.
#@@# Professional Durability#@#
Commercial-grade build quality targets frequent use in restaurants, hotels, schools, and hospitals, offering a reliable tool for foodservice teams.

Season the ribbed bottom with a thin layer of neutral oil after cleaning to prevent rust formation; heat on low for five minutes to polymerize the coating effectively. Scrub with a nonmetal brush and hot water; avoid using detergent and soaking, as this can damage the seasoning.
