Review: Unbeatable press. ❤️ - This press is incredible. It’s just wonderful. Success from the very first go. I had initially purchased a Victoria cast iron press after having read reviews about how they were the “Rolls Royce” of presses. Then, before using it, and having had a chance to put it together and take a look at it, I read all the further reviews about how cast iron presses crack, the handles shear, etc; just from normal use. Also, folks complained that they just couldn’t get their tortillas, roti, etc thin enough and we’re still needing to roll them further with a pin to get them to the desired shape. Waaat? So I began to question the wisdom of my purchase. It became quickly apparent that I had made the wrong choice for us. We decided that we would return the cast iron press; unused, and invest in the press we truly felt would deliver the results we were looking for, and have a tool that accomplished our goals from the outset. My husband and I made this our Mother’s Day / Father’s Day gifts to each other for this year. (I’d get the press and he’d receive hand made tortilla, roti, flat breads etc. 😉) I admit, this purchase was an investment for our budget, but I will say this press has been nothing but a joy. A joy to admire, and a joy to use, a joy to own. I made 6-8” corn tortillas on my first go, and cooked them on my little (10” Lodge) cast iron griddle. They turned out beautifully and I knew we’d made a wise decision. If you want to invest in an item that will be a pleasure to own, serve you for a lifetime, and deliver great (thin pressed) results from the get go ... this is the press to buy. I did opt for the largest size to give myself some wiggle room and just to be as flexible size-wise as possible. You can always make smaller items in a larger press, but you can’t make larger items in a smaller press! ☺️ In this day of mass produced semi disposable products I love the fact that our purchase supported a California Artisain and his wife and that pleases me greatly. This press will no doubt serve us well for the remainder of our lives, and then be passed on to our daughter (though she may own her own by then) or a grandchild. In any case this is a momorable and favored desertcart purchase that has been nothing from a genuine joy ... right out of the box. I recommend this press, or one similar, as there are several models to choose from to anyone looking to purchase a quality item that will deliver time after time. I honestly can’t think of any way it could be improved upon. It’s just *that* nice. **UPDATE** End of July 2018 I wanted to leave a little update to say that we continue to use this press frequently and L❤️VE it, every time. It’s easily within our top five favorite desertcart purchases of all time and we will be grateful for having found such an outstanding product for the remainder of our lives. I’d like to share just a few tips that I’ve picked up along the way. We do add a touch of either lard or even butter to our masa and easily press out up to 10” wafer thin corn tortillas with ease. Seriously. No rollig, nothing. I’ve tried different materials inside to line the press; parchment, ziplock bag material, and clean recyclable grocery bags cut to aprox 11 x 11” squares. By FAR, my favorite material to use is the inelegant disposable grocery store shopping bags cut to squares. It’s thin enough that the masa just spreads out but not so thick that the fragile, thin tortillas tear when being removed from the plastic as they did with the (commonly recommended) ziplock plastic. I wash the plastic pieces afterward and dry them between two dish towels and then store it with the press so it’s handy next time we need it. (Truly recycled!) It took some experimenting to find the best method for me so I wanted to share this with others in hopes of making your journey a bit easier. After pressing, I just put the tortilla in my hand and gently peel off the pliable plastic, and flip I over into the pre heated cast iron comal / griddle ... also purchased on desertcart (10” by Lodge; very economical and JUST the right size!) Anyway. It’s a lot of money, but it supports a self sustaining artisain, (which I really like) AND it makes the best tortillas you’ll ever have ... for the rest of your life. It’s even beautiful to look at. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. 😊
Review: AWESOME! - Forget your old metallic press you have, THIS is worth every dollar I spent on it. First of the aesthetics: This thing is drop dead beautiful and you'd be proud to leave it out like a nice accessory because its that pretty! The pictures do not do it justice. Construction/craftsmanship: Gosh, where do I start. Its a night and day difference from my old metallic one I got in Mexico decades ago. The construction/craftsmanship is perfect. Silky smooth woods, food grade oil finish, just wonderful. Function: If you can use the old press, the learning curve is nil here. Just use the quart ziploc bag (cut off the zip top, split the bag on the sides and dont cut the bottom) and there's no cleaning issues. Unlike a metallic one you just dont mash down on it. Constant pressure and hold for a few seconds to get the full size of the tortilla. Open up peel from the zip lock and comal time! What could be better: Three things. 1. Silicone/no slip feets would have been nice. Since the wood is oiled now, it will be hard to stick and I really don't want to drill into it to put rubber feet on it. So I have a silicone trivet under it. Fixes that. 2. The bolt/hinge. I don't know. To be honest it does take away from it. It works but it doesn't look as good as it should. I hope the craftsman reads this. An idea would be to cut a 1/4 stainless rod, tap it through to within a 1/4" each side then tap in wooded plugs like the rest of the screw parts. And last one. The hinges. They work. looks good. But, would wooded hinges hold out? Probably would add to the cost due to the work involved with the jigs and stuff but oh would it look pretty. Eh...They work. Other than that, You see 70 bucks for a tortilla press and ask is it worth it when my La Victoria is just as good. No, its not just as good. Its much better! Like a black-n-decker blender vs a kitchenaid. Yeah they both make cake batter but Its not as sexy. And if you cry hard enough to the S.O...GET IT. You wont be sorry.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is the tortilla press made?**
A: California, USA  We love ours.  It sits on the counter top because it is so beautiful.  And, it works well!

**Q: How thick are these presses?**
A: The base of the pressing surface is an 1 1/4”thick. The top part of the pressing surface is a little more than 1” thick.

**Q: This press is a work of art. I would like to order another as a gift, do you ever engrave them?**
A: No, I've never though about engraving it.

**Q: I live in a humid climate... can this press warp over time??**
A: There is always a small risk of warping.  As long as you oil the wood often and avoid prolonged direct sunlight on the press the risk of warping will be very small.  The design of our presses are such that to minimize this risk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where have you been all my life???
*by E***N on April 16, 2022*

June 2023 review One year later and I still love my tortilla press! Not only do I love it but also my mom. So much that I bought her one and just recieved it. We made corn tortillas right away to test out her press. She loves it so much! Yes it's more expensive than other brands but believe me when I say that it makes such nice tortillas! If you make your dough very soft you don't even have to flip it to get the same thickness on both sides. Its easy to take care of just clean with a damp towel and make sure to dry it. I always leave it open after I clean it to air out. Once a month I oil it with food safe oil, not cooking oil but the one for cutting boards. It still looks like new and i use it twice a week to make tortillas. I highly recomand it! Me and mom are really happy with it. April 2022 review This is a great tortilla press! I have had 3 of them before this one. One made them too thick and the other two made them fat in the center and thin on the edges. This one is PERFECT! I got the 12" size because it's easier to work with. You have more work space and dont have to worry about your dough coming out the sides in case you made your dough ball too big. One side does come out slightly thicker than the other side but all you do is flip it and give it another light press. This is normal with almost all tortilla presses. The tortillas come out nice and thin just like the store bought ones but better because they are home made. The press is not heavy but is a little big so plan on storage. I only use this type of press for corn tortillas and not flour. Flour tortillas are better rolled out because of the gluten. In my pictures I show side by side the thickness of the corn tortilla. The yellow tortilla is the one I made and the white one is store bought. You can see they are almost the same thickness. Spending $130 + tax was totally worth it!
