Overview
This is a 10-inch red oak tortilla press handmade by Central Coast Woodworks, with a 9.5 by 10 inch pressing surface sized for oversized, restaurant-style tortillas as well as roti, pita and arepas.
Several reviewers came to this press after a cast iron model cracked or had its handle shear off, and describe the solid oak construction as the more durable alternative for regular use. Packaging experiences vary sharply between buyers, from heavily bubble-wrapped arrivals to one unit that came in a plastic bag inside an unpadded box.
- 9.5 by 10 inch pressing surface
- Solid red oak construction
- Handmade and hand-finished in the USA
- Food-safe protective finish
Who it's for
Suits anyone making tortillas, roti, pita or arepas regularly at home and wanting a press built to last years rather than a cast iron version reviewers describe as prone to cracking. Less essential for someone who presses tortillas only occasionally and does not want to pay a premium over a basic metal press.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who switched from cast iron presses consistently describe this one as sturdier and better at producing evenly thin tortillas without a rolling pin, with several treating it as an heirloom piece to pass down. The main criticism is inconsistent packaging, with one buyer noting theirs arrived in a plastic bag inside an unpadded box despite the price.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
