Beautiful, mostly useful tortilla press
Reasons I bought this press:<br />1.) Rolling tortillas takes a lot of time and effort for what I get out of it. My husband LOVES the homemade tortillas, I personally am fine with store bought. So making homemade wasn't something I did very often. I wanted a press that would make the process less effort for me. This press overall does make the process easier. It does not make the tortillas as thin as I would like on its own. I use a cut gallon bag ziplock bag as a liner so after I press them I also roll them. The press does give me a good, round starting point so that I only have to roll a couple of times before I get the thickness I want.<br /><br />2.) I wanted to be able to make large tortillas/pizza dough. This was the reason I chose THIS press. Most of the presses aren't as big as this one. I do like that I can make a large pizza crust quickly without having to roll out sticky dough. Our family easily eats 2 pizza's in one meal and will only need to make more as our boys get older. This press will be a life saver over the years.<br /><br />3.) This press is beautiful. I can leave it on the counter and use it frequently without having to dig out another piece of kitchen equipment. I don't use/have a lot of specialty kitchen equipment, but this was one thing I requested.<br /><br />The reason it gets 4  stars is that it doesn't get the flour tortilla's as thin as I would like. To be fair I knew it would be a long shot to get something to press the tortillas super thin, but I expected this press to get them thinner after reading other reviews. I added extra layers (super thin cutting boards) to help make the tortillas thinner, but even that was insufficient.<br /><br /> Overall, I would recommend this press. It feels like it will last for years to come and I look forward to making many delicious tortillas/pizzas/???.
