Consistently better corn tortillas
I replaced my cheap aluminum press with this one, after debating with my wife over the added expense. This press makes it easy to make thin tortillas, unlike the cheap one. Before I bought it, I tried unsuccessfully with a couple of pieces of mat board in the cheap one to try to get more pressure. Still too thick.<br />I now make the "food of my people" more often, with delicious fresh corn tortillas: enchiladas, tacos, tostadas, chilaquiles, even chips. My mother didn't have one of these, so she did it the hard way. But things have changed and there is never enough time to do everything the old fashioned way.<br />I was disappointed to learn that presses don't do a good job with flour tortillas because the gluten makes it too sticky. That helped me decide to buy the 8 inch model. This was well worth the price. And one of my wife's concerns was where to keep it when not in use. It is such a beautifully made implement that we keep it out on our granite counter.
