This press is designed to deliver even cooking with every use, whether you're crafting the perfect burger or pressing sandwiches.

Think of your cookware as an ingredient.
At Ironclad, every pour is quality tested to ensure that our cast iron is pure enough to cook with. That might sound obvious, but it isn’t.
Over the years, we’ve tested lots of discount cast iron to understand how some manufacturers can sell a pan for the price it costs to ship one. What we found were ingredients we’d never want near our food.
In Australia and New Zealand, the cast iron industry remains unregulated, with no specific standards for "Food Grade Cast Iron." While we are working to change that, it’s currently up to each manufacturer to ensure their products are safe.
At Ironclad, we choose to meet the highest global standards for cookware, including the requirements set by California Proposition 65 and the FDA.
