Stop sacrificing sear control for speed. This cast iron steak weight provides consistent contact and heat transfer for uniform browning across steaks, bacon, and sandwich presses while resisting warping in high-heat environments. Chefs maintain precise surface pressure with a compact footprint that fits standard grills and griddles, improving yield and reducing return-to-pan time.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Wipe the cast iron surface after each use with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry immediately to prevent rust. Apply a thin layer of food-safe oil and buff with a clean cloth to preserve the finish and extend service life. Focus cleaning on high-touch zones—handles and edges—to prevent contamination transfer between staff and guests. Remove crumbs and spills from surrounding booths and shelving to deter pests and maintain health-code compliance.#@@#Additional Info#@#Winco SWA-9 cast iron steak weight, 5-1/4" x 9", 2.5 lbs, ensures firm pressure for steaks, bacon, sandwiches; durable cast iron offers heat retention and reliable performance for foodservice.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing sear control for speed.

#@@# Cast Iron Construction#@#
Cast iron delivers steady thermal mass, maintaining surface temperature under heavy product loads to promote even Maillard reaction across the contact area. The solid build resists warping and transfers retained heat back into proteins for repeatable searing results.
#@@# Rectangular Contact#@#
The rectangular shape covers more cooking surface with each placement, enabling simultaneous contact on elongated cuts and multiple strips of bacon. Reduced repositioning speeds service and preserves consistent crust formation.
#@@# Compact Dimensions#@#
Measuring 5-1/4" by 9", the weight fits common steak and sandwich sizes without obstructing access to adjacent items. Small footprint eases storage in crowded prep stations and allows targeted pressure application.
#@@# Defined Mass#@#
At approximately 2.5 pounds, the mass provides adequate downward force to press foods thinly and evenly while avoiding excessive compression that can expel juices. Operators achieve faster, more uniform cook cycles with minimal oversight.
#@@# Durable Finish#@#
The cast iron construction tolerates frequent exposure to high grill heat and mechanical handling in commercial kitchens. Routine seasoning maintains a reliable nonstick surface and extends service life under daily use.
#@@# Commercial Compatibility#@#
Designed for professional kitchens, the weight integrates with grills, griddles, and plancha tops used in restaurants, bars, and institutional food service. Consistent contact and heat retention help standardize plating times and reduce variability in rushed service.

Season the cast iron periodically with a thin coat of neutral oil heated briefly to restore the protective layer. Store the weight in a dry area and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Inspect for surface pitting or flaking and re-season immediately if bare metal appears.
