Click here   The Chef's Press: A Kitchen Tool That's Worth the Weight Whenever you're searing a piece of meat, crisping the skin on a duck breast or fish fillet, or making a killer grilled cheese sandwich, you want to maximize contact between the food and its cooking vessel by weighing it down. Good things happen when ingredients come in contact with the surface of a hot skillet: They cook quickly and at an even rate, and undergo flavor-boosting chemical changes, like the Maillard reaction. Sasha's favorite product designed just for this purpose is the Chef's Press. Grab one for yourself!  The Chef's Press is available in two sizes—eight and 13 ounces—and because it's stackable, that weight can be easily doubled. And, like a fish spatula, it's vented, allowing steam to escape and keeping whatever you're cooking from getting soggy. Recipes for your Chef's Press
