Best tortillas ever
By William A. Rutledge
This is a pretty good tortilla maker, but I did have to develop a better technique to get the tortillas as thin as I like them to be. Just an initial press down and holding there doesn't get it quite thin enough, so I rock the handle/press up and down, gently pushing the tortilla out.

Since it is aluminum, I didn't think this would be that tough. I wanted to buy a heavier one than this one, that my wife picked out, but this is quite nice. We can take it with us to other houses, etc. Good stuff. Much easier than rolling out by hand, but now I am experimenting by flatting it with just my hands. It does prevent over working for flour tortillas, and corn is easy. We like to use some parchment paper between the press to reduce stick. We re-use the paper for weeks, since it's wiped down and only has corn masa and water on it.

does its job
By S. Hluchy
since i've had to go gluten free, i've cut out bread and decided to replace it with tortillas. rollling them out with a rolling pin? that wasnt going to happen. so i ordered this tortilla press. it does its job very well. the tortillas are small and tend to be thinner on one end than the other, but i dont care.

remember to press the tortilla dough between two quart-size plastic baggies--dough on the press itself will make a mess; and wax paper tends to absorb the moisture from the dough and tear.

i like that it's small; there is no room in my kitchen for one of those big wooden square ones that are appliances in their own right. otherwise i'd buy one of those.

not worth it
By Xaecies
the hamburger press works much better for making tortilla's. using the tortilla press they came out angled. the burger press they came out even (the same thickness throughout)and you can adjust the thickness for empanadas
