EXCELLENT!!!
I've been making tortillas, both corn and flour, since I was three years old--that's 67 years! So, IMHO, I know whereof I speak (or write, as the case may be).<br /><br />Customer service is important to all of us. How many times have you placed an order and have the product in hand in three days? Not too many, I'd wager. I placed my order on Wednesday, August 17, 2016; it was shipped that day and I received it today, August 20th and just in time for lunch!<br /><br />You may think, &#34;What? Almost $60 (including shipping) for a tortilla press? I can get one for $______ .&#34; Yes, you can, but not all presses are created equal. In my lifetime, I have owned more than 20 presses; this one easily surpasses them all. It looks beautiful in the photos on Amazon and it's equally impressive &#34;in person.&#34; Keep in mind that this is a hand-crafted product; it's sturdy. If a tank would run over it, the tank would most likely throw a tread. Well, okay, I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea.<br /><br />Using it is easy, even for an old geezer like me. If you've never used one before, there's a slight learning curve, learning the position of the dough ball and the pressure to apply to get the size and thickness you desire. Heed the advice of other reviewers and use a plastic freezer bag (don't use a thinner bag as peeling the dough off will be more difficult) to prevent sticking. Just be sure to cut it to the size of the press; don't leave ends overhanging as the dough may tear due to the plastic curling. But even if that happens, just roll the dough into a ball again and press. And as noted in the Q&A section, this is for CORN tortillas only.<br /><br />I can't say enough good things about this product, and NO--I'm not a member of the family, a friend or being compensated for this review. The press really is that good!
