Great, simple tortilla press.,
I wanted to make homemade tortillas and this works great.
If you are looking for a basic and easy to maintain press, this one will do the trick.
One hint. When making tortillas, put the ball of dough slightly off center towards the hinged side of the press in order to get a level and evenly round tortilla.

|Functional but not fabulous,
This is a very simple press which makes moderately thick 6 – 6.5 inch tortillas.
The process is quite simple: you make your dough, separate into small ping pong sized balls, let rest (covered) for 20 minutes or so, and press. The press does need to be hand washed and wax or parchment paper does need to be placed on either side of the dough when pressing.
Tips: place dough a bit off center toward the handle and press down firmly but not so much so that you squeeze dough out of the sides of the press. Your dough obviously needs to be on the wet side (no, not too wet) to press evenly.
Caveat: If you like thin tortillas this is not the press for you.
In short the press works and is well made, it is a nice alternative to hand rolling when I want to make a quick batch of tortillas!
