Know before you buy
This press features a 9-inch diameter, making it specifically designed for larger tortillas suitable for burritos and substantial tacos.
No, this press is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the aluminum construction, it should be cleaned by hand with a damp cloth and dried thoroughly.
Yes, it is highly recommended to use parchment paper or a plastic bag cut to size on both the top and bottom plates. This prevents the dough from sticking to the aluminum and makes transferring the tortilla to your pan much easier.
For the best results, use the 'press, rotate, and press' technique. After the initial press, rotate the dough 180 degrees and press again to ensure an even thickness and consistent shape.
While it is designed for authentic corn tortillas, it can be used for flour dough. Keep in mind that flour dough has more elasticity and may 'spring back' slightly more than corn masa, so you may need to let the dough rest before pressing.
