What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Victoria Cast Iron Tortilla Press for its substantial weight and robust construction, viewing it as a durable, buy it for life item. This heft is key to achieving consistently thin, authentic corn tortillas, offering a significant upgrade from lighter models. The pre-seasoning adds immediate value and usability. While the press delivers exceptional performance and quality, some users note a slight hinge wobble requiring rotation for perfectly uniform thickness, especially at the edges. Achieving paper thinness with flour tortillas often benefits from using parchment paper. Overall, this press is highly recommended for serious tortilla makers due to its excellent performance and long term value.
Know before you buy
The Victoria tortilla press comes pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil, so it is ready to use right out of the box. However, like any cast iron cookware, you may choose to add additional layers of seasoning over time to maintain its non-stick properties.
Yes, it is quite versatile. Beyond standard flour or corn tortillas, it works well for flattening dough for empanadas, arepas, tostones, and thin flatbreads.
To ensure a clean release, always line the press with a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper on both the top and bottom plates. This prevents the dough from adhering to the metal and makes transferring the flattened tortilla to your pan much easier.
No, this press should never be put in the dishwasher. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and ensure it is completely dry before storing it to prevent rust.
Because this is a heavy-duty cast iron tool, the weight of the press does most of the work for you. You only need to apply firm, steady pressure to the handle to achieve a thin, uniform result.
