Product Description
HIC’s Tortilla Press is specially designed for creating 6-inch homemade tortillas and other artisan flat breads of the perfect thickness every time. Dough pressed into a consistent thickness looks great and cooks evenly. No more hand rolling or tortillas with doughy, undercooked areas. With its sturdy handle, HIC’s Tortilla Press allows effortless leverage to press perfectly consistent dough every time. Easily press the perfect tortillas for creating wraps, tostadas, quesadillas, tortilla chips, and more. Perfect for making all types of tortillas, including flour tortillas, whole grain, corn, low carb, and gluten free tortilla wraps. Great for other artisan flat breads, like pita bread, Caribbean roti, focaccia, and moo shoo pancakes, even mini pie crusts, pastry shells, and more. A great addition to cooking accessories for easier food preparation, plus it’s safe and fun when cooking with kids. Easy to use. Prepare the dough recipe or use ready-made dough. For best results, line both sides of the press with plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper to prevent dough from sticking to the press. Roll a small amount of dough into a ball and place it in the center of the press. Flatten the dough slightly by hand then close the press. Fold the handle over the press and apply a firm pressure to create griddle-ready rounds. Gently remove the plastic wrap from the flattened dough and cook according to recipe. Made from heavyweight aluminum, HIC’s Tortilla Press is durable, sturdy, and easy to use. Instructions included. Hand wash in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before storing.

Like other reviewers mentioned, you have to put the dough slightly off-center in the press, otherwise your tortilla squishes out the edge. But that's not a big deal. Keep it off to one side and you'll get perfect, round tortillas every time. Also, make sure you use some sort of plastic to line the press before using (I use a storage bag that I cut open). If you don't, you won't be able to get your tortilla off in a manner that will allow it to be cook-able, much less usable. Also like others mentioned, the tortillas are a little thick, but not enough that I regret my purchase. In fact, I think they're better this way - you don't have to double them up on your tacos. Some people complained that the size was too small, but I don't think it was. The six-inch size is pretty much what commercial corn tortillas are (at least in my area, in the Pacific NW).
So, in a nutshell, I HIGHLY recommend this product, especially if you're still rolling tortillas by hand. You'll get a much more consistent product much faster.
My only complaint is that I have had to use parchment paper to make my tortillas, as they stick horribly to the metal. Again, I kind of figured this going in, but it is a bit of a pain. Side note - plastic wrap was a total mess, but the parchment works very well - I cut mine in half width-wise to conserve paper (and you could really reuse it if you had to or are on a really tight budget). I may try spraying it with a non-stick pan spray to see if I can avoid the paper, but I'm also not a fan of all the chemicals in those products.
¡Es una tortilladora muy buena! Es barata y hecho de metal sólido y puede limpiarlo fácilamente. Use un poco de papel de parchment para preventir adhesión, y ajustar el cantidad de agua en la masa para hacer tortillas de espesor bueno. ¡No sé cómo alguien se rompió esta cosa!
