Achieving restaurant-quality sear marks and evenly cooked food is easier when consistent pressure is applied during cooking. A quality chef's press helps maximize contact with the cooking surface for richer browning, crispier textures, and faster results.
Napoleon Cast Iron Chef's Press (56056) is built from heavyweight cast iron with a steel handle wrapped in wood for a secure, comfortable grip. Preheat the press while your grill heats up, then use it to create crispy bacon, perfectly seared burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, fish, poultry, and more with even heat contact on every cook.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
