Product Description
As far as I am concerned tortilla maker needs to be from Mexico since they know what its supposed to do. This is great quality and very nice and heavy duty. You will love it. They sometimes have a yellow tint and sometimes are grey color from the factory as you can see from the pictures. Since these are imported from Mexico we don't have control over what color we will get. Thank you

When using this product allow the device to preheat for at least ten minutes. At the same time preheat your pan you are going to use to cook them. I used a ten inch Calphalon hard anodized aluminum fry pan; the tortillas never stuck and came out beautifully. I do have two comals but decided not to use those initially. The device really does par cook the tortillas and you do need to finish them off in a fry pan, skillet, or comal to finish cooking. I used all purpose flower and have not yet tried whole wheat flour or masa flour.
I like the fact that this device is reasonably priced for the job it performs. Other devices like this are much more expensive and geared more for restaurants than the home cook. With this product the home cook can crank out fresh tortillas in no time. using more than one pan will help speed up the process because the press itself will flatten and par cook tortillas very quickly. you will be slowed down by the 45-60 seconds it takes to completely cook the tortillas. I would estimate that someone could make 1 flour tortilla every 5 seconds just using the tortillas press (not including time it takes to cook in the pan).
When using the press, place the dough ball down and close the lid. press down with the handle for about three seconds, release, then press down again for about 5 - 7 seconds. Steam will come out and you will hear a hissing noise as the steam escapes. Open the lid and use a wooden spatula to take the tortilla off (they will be hot) and place in the pan to cook...it is that easy.
I would recommend this product to the home cook or to someone who sells tacos on a taco truck. This device takes up very little space. By using this product, you will be able to take good homemade tacos to another level and make them great. I will be trying to make corn tortillas tomorrow (26 June 2014) and will report on the success or failure of the attempt. On another note the plug is geared for use in US homes at 120 volts and not the 220 volt outlets that are used outside the United States.
February 27,2024: I initially really liked this tortilla maker; however, over a month period I realized that this unit was not what actually described. The unit takes over 10 min to heat up, but the temperature, whatever it is (no way to know and there is no indicator light) falls rapidly just after pressing just one whole wheat or flour dough ball. The temperature dropped so fast that all subsequent dough balls either stuck to the plates or partly warmed, and had to be discarded. I even pressed between two sheets of parchment paper but the dough horribly stuck to the paper causing me to discard all. I used regular non-stick chapati maker with superb result. Unfortunately my unit quit after working flawlessly for over 20 years. Poor temperature control makes this Prensa unit basically useless. Therefore, based on my experience, I discourage others from buying this unit and re-rated the unit as one star. I have ordered a usual non-stick chapati maker from Amazon. Based on conflicting rating, it may not last like my previous unit but at least I will not be so disappointed in making wheat/flour chapatis.
