Overview
Pressing a ball of masa between two round plates turns it into a fresh corn tortilla in one motion. The cast aluminum body has a lever for leverage and a polished chrome finish, and it stores compactly.
Fresh corn tortillas at home need leverage, and the heavy cast body supplies it without electricity. The limitation is dough type, since the maker rules out flour tortillas, and lining sheets are left for you to supply.
Who it's for
A kitchen where corn tortillas are made often from masa suits this kind of manual press. Cooks who work with flour dough should look elsewhere, since the maker says it is not intended for that.
Pros and cons
- Heavy cast aluminum body
- Lever provides the pressing leverage
- Wipes clean with a cloth
- Compact for storage
- Not intended for flour tortillas
- Not dishwasher safe
- Wax or parchment paper not included
- Manual only, no heating
Performance notes
The lever and the heavy body do the flattening, so the result depends on the size of the dough ball and a light press with the fingertips first. Lining both plates with wax paper, parchment or plastic wrap stops the dough sticking. Flour dough is outside what the press was made for.
