Deliciously crisp chicken—made the traditional Tuscan way.
Description
This clever griddle and press from Staub was inspired by the Tuscan technique for using a mattone (brick) to create intensely flavorful chicken with incredibly crispy skin. Weighing down a butterflied chicken helps ensure a uniform thickness so it cooks quickly and evenly on the cast iron griddle. Plus, the weight of the ceramic press enables the fat under the skin to render and melt out, delivering the most deliciously crisp skin we’ve ever tasted.
We also love using the press to make amazing grilled sandwiches and the griddle is great for everything from eggs and pancakes to steaks and burgers. Available in a variety of colors, Staub’s mattone comes ready to use—no seasoning required.

Does the press work for bacon? I assumed so but then noticed it said it shouldn't come into contact with the pan surface and of course bacon can be pretty thin...
BEST ANSWER: The press is designed to weight down food “of substance” like a whole chicken or hunk of beef. If you put this press on bacon, you will be scraping up charred bacon...and probably ruining your bottom pan.

What's the difference between this pan and the Staub steam griddle?

Staub Mattone with Press

BEST ANSWER: The mattone is less than two inches high and works like a griddle to cook maybe a chicken or steak. It doesn’t have a lid or a cover than seals in juices like the steam griddle, and you place the stoneware top on your meat to cook it more uniformly. You can brown and cook meats on the steam griddle, but you close up the pan with the lid to steam-cook it.
