Friggen Amazing
Cast iron breaks. typically always at the lever joint<br />Aluminum bends or outright doesn't weigh enough to press properly.<br />Wood? Wood is the way to go for tortilla presses. I never would have thought, but my lord it works<br />Definitely recommend for anyone who wants a QUALITY press.<br />Yes its expensive. But its wood. I expect to pay more for something hand crafted.<br /> Buy once, cry once. This thing will last for friggen ever if you take care of it.<br /><br />Advice for the buyer: the entire surface of the press plate is 8 inches. This will not make an 8 inch diameter tortilla.<br />which works great because I don't like burritos or chimichangas  with corn tortillas. only tacos.<br />took a bit of trial and error to figure out how much pressure to use when pressing but once i got over the learning curve it performs beautifully. As with any other tortilla press use dry plastic cling wrap to line the press plates so the tortillas don't stick.<br />Gonna try little round tortilla chips next because I like to be difficult and wont just make tortilla chips out of a whole tortilla cut into pieces. :\
