What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Champs Huarachera Wood Press for its superior quality and consistent performance. Its robust, heavy-duty wood construction offers excellent leverage, yielding uniform results across various pressing tasks. Many view this tool as an authentic, durable piece of craftsmanship that elevates the workspace aesthetic. While its substantial weight aids function, a few users mention it requires occasional wood maintenance, like oiling, and can be slightly bulky for storage.

Know before you buy
This tool is specifically designed to shape masa dough into the traditional, elongated oval shape required for authentic Mexican huaraches.
Cleaning is straightforward; simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the press in water or place it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the wood.
No, the press is made of natural wood and does not feature a non-stick coating. To prevent dough from sticking, we recommend lining the press with plastic wrap or parchment paper before adding your masa.
While it is technically possible to press dough, the mold is specifically shaped for the elongated, oval form of a huarache. If you are looking for perfectly round tortillas, a traditional circular tortilla press would be a more appropriate choice.
The press measures 8 inches by 11.3 inches, providing an ideal surface area for crafting single-serving huaraches.
