The Chef’s Press® grew out of a simple problem he encountered repeatedly as a chef: food naturally curls and lifts away from the cooking surface, preventing even browning and slowing down the cooking process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruce developed The Chef’s Press® as a lightweight, vented, stackable, weight-adjustable stainless steel cooking tool that improves contact with the cooking surface without crushing the food. Today, Chef’s Presses are used by professional chefs and home cooks around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this Maker Spotlight, Bruce will demonstrate how he uses The Chef’s Press® to cook maitake mushrooms, showing how improved surface contact creates deep, even browning and a beautifully crisp texture while keeping the mushrooms tender. Guests will be able to taste the finished maitake mushrooms and learn practical techniques they can use in their own kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLEASE READ DETAILS THOROUGHLY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this is a free event, we ask that all attendees register as we have limited space available. \u003cb\u003eTickets are for a mix of seating and standing room, come early for the best chance to get a seat! \u003c\/b\u003ePlease be mindful and let us know if you need to cancel so we can offer your spot to someone else.
