10 Inch Cast Iron Tortilla Press by StarBlue with FREE 100 Pieces Oil Paper and Digital Recipes e-book - Tool to make Indian style Chapati, Flour Tortilla, Roti

We made homemade sour dough tortillas yesterday. They were so easy to make on our new tortilla press.

This was a gift for my daughter. She opened it and within an hour was making tortillas, flour and corn. My waistline my regret this purchase!

No idea how people are breaking this thing. It's a heavy behemoth.Only thing I can figure is people going ape on it and pushing down too hard for too long. It's a press... trust me; let the weight do the work. The handle is there for uniform spread, not to support your weight as you push down with all your might!I have been wary of the handle and always press down while seated with an open hand. Still feels solid.Maybe people have it on an unstable surface or slam down the lid instead of closing the lid? This isn't an industrial hydraulic press, and it doesn't take much to flatten raw masa. Will update later if somehow there are issues, but so far for years, this has held up great.My only concern continues to be the bolts held in with wing nuts. I always carefully inspect them before I start and they always seem to be fine. If somehow they start to wear out, I plan to replace with similar hardened bolts, but use lock nuts instead.

I bought two of them. One for my daughter for Christmas and one for our home. One of them the hole for the handle didn't go all the way through. I contacted the company and sent pictures and they sent me out a new one. They were great.

This is awesome! Well worth the money. I’d buy it again and again.

It only presses the tortilla to about 8 inches not ten , adding more mixture just makes the tortilla thicker. I used a rolling pin to finish the tortilla to ten

We had to experiment with making the dough. The corn Maseca worked well just have to let is dry enough to be firm and not sticky. We purchased the 10 inch to have the ability to make larger tortillas. It is simple and easy to work. It is heavy duty and well built unit. You can squish the dough back and forth as you press down on the handle. Open the lid and peel the top wax paper round off and let the tortillas sit and dry while cooking your one in the pan. When ready for the next one...hold the tortillas in your hand and then peel the last wax round off and drop in the pan. We used a little spray Avocado Oil and must use an iron skillet to cook. They taste great and fun to make!

This is literally heavy, but does the job. I opted to make tortillas by hand aka the old days.
