IMUSA USA Tortilla Press, 8 Inch, Silver

Great product. came in handy at the last minute. Easy to use, very durable

I purchased this press to make smash burgers and it makes them well. I put an 8"d parchment paper on the bottom press plate, put a 2oz ball of 80/20 on the parchment, then another parchment on top of the ball. Squish the ball till it's 1/8" thick. Get 8 patties out of 1 lb of 80/20. Then I put the stacked parchments in a zip lock then into the freezer for an hour or so. I heat the frying pan to medium high, pull the parchment off one side of a frozen patty, slap it down into the pan and peel the 2nd parchment off. Because the patties are so thin they can be flipped in about 1 to 1-1/2 mins, then put the cheese on and cook for another 1 to 1-1/2 mins. I have not used this press for tortillas yet but after seeing it's performance with 80/20 I believe it will work well for flour and water. You can get the 8" parchments here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQZ8Y6F?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Having said all of that, there is a minor issue. There are 2 points on the handle and the top press plate where intense pressure and friction occur. The whole press is painted with a thick light gray paint. Where the handle and top press plate meet the paint will quickly wear off and could possibly get in your food. I used a rotary tool with a sanding sleeve and removed all of the paint in those areas. I don't expect that to be a problem any more.

good purchase, i overused it a bit and broke the handle. but this would be ok for someone who is just starting out. the tortillas come out the perfect size and using it is super simple just make sure that u use a barrier. i use a thin plastic bag and cut it into 2 circles the size of the press and lay them on each side so my Masa does not stick the the press and then i just peel the tortilla from the plastic, its easier than it sounds lol the color is just as picture and its very light weight. since i use those plastic barriers, cleaning is very easy i just wipe it down with a wet paper towel after each use.

Works great. Very sturdy. I use this mostly to make huge smash burgers.

So I just got this product because I've been seeing my son-in-law use it for about 4 years now and when I was little my mom had us make it tortillas every weekend she had 14 kids so making tortillas for 16 people for the week meant we had to knead a lot of dough might be one of the reasons I have arthritis in my fingers anyways with that being said I never even tried this press all the times I've seen my son-in-law making empanadas and tortillas I never asked him could I see if I can press that but since Amazon offers free shipping and free returns I thought when I get back home I'm going to get me one of those worst case scenario I hurt myself trying to press it on the contrary this thing is so simple you can let anyone use it from the youngest person in your kitchen to the oldest person with arthritis I have degenerated joints as well as arthritis in all of my fingers and wrists the worst part about making tortillas for me is all of the needing and the rolling of the rolling pin again this was so simple and if you parchment paper it makes simple even simpler because now you don't have no mess nothing to clean up even though I wipe down my product before I put it away it needed no wiping it gives you full instructions which I didn't need to look at it was kind of common sense because I used masa some warm water and I put seasonings that I liked in it I used turmeric and black pepper and almost everything that I cook so I put that in there with some salt and pepper garlic and onion powder and Bam I had this tasty tortilla for my chorizo and eggs now I like my tortillas very flat I prefer them flat as a spring roll wrap you're not going to get it that flat but after I pressed it pressed it between the palms of my hands to get slightly thinner and with my last one I didn't do that just to see if I would like it and not only did I like it I loved it especially cuz I had all that flavor in there I would say if you want to save some money on buying dozens and dozens of tortillas you want to get this for me I am the only one in my household who needs a tears I bought it because when I run out I don't like to run out to the store to buy more tortillas but I'm not a bread eater so many times I won't eat if I don't have tortillas when I need them for my food and I need them everyday now me I have tasted tortillas at my son-in-law's house that were sitting in the refrigerator overnight and I personally rather have mine's fresh so I will definitely be using this pretty much every day I'm sure because I eat tortillas if not for breakfast then for dinner I can't speak on the quality right now it seems like it will last a while long as my husband don't touch it never even touch my son-in-law so I didn't know this was metal I thought it was plastic because it looks plastic but I have the gray cast aluminum 8" one like he does because the black one cost like three times more🌮💝🌮

I bought this in February and didn’t use it until May 13. My second tortilla. It broke off the handle. Don’t buy an aluminum one. They are casted aluminumand will break you get what you pay for. It does not smash the flower tortilla thin enough so I did put a lot of pressure on it. I couldn’t get the tortilla more than approximately 4 1/2 inches across. I chucked it in the trash.

I had ordered this item a while ago and just made tortillas for the first time last week with this press. I have to say it worked very well, made perfect, round corn tortillas that were absolutely evenly thick. So why the three star rating? The connector piece that holds the handle and connects to the pressing platform appears super cheap and skimpy. I actually didn’t trust it to last thru me making my 20 tortillas. It did, yet I am fully prepared to not last long. I had been on the fence of sending it back when I received the tortilla press but decided to keep it since I won’t be making a ton of tortillas. But… if you plan to use it often, if you plan to make a ton of tortillas for a party… I think I’d recommend a more sturdy, more expensive press. A great recipe for corn tortillas is the following: 2 cups masa harina (I love the MaSeCa brand) 1.5 cups very warm water 1 ts salt. Mix with a fork until ingredients come together, then use your hand. The consistency should be very smooth and no dough should stick to the bowl. If it’s too dry increase the water a little at a time. If the dough is too sticky just add more masa. Use immediately. I actually measure out my dough to about 1.5oz each, roll them all into balls and cover with a moist towel or plastic wrap over the top. Use parchment paper on the tortilla press. I prefer pre cut parchment paper that is made for cookie sheets. I cut this in half width wise and it fits perfectly for the tortilla press. Place the parchment half on the press, set the dough ball on top, cover with the other half and press. You can vary the thickness slightly. The harder you press the thinner the tortilla will become. Of course you don’t want them too thin. Do not unwrap the tortilla until ready to cook. I usually make all my tortillas first and set them all on top of each other still wrapped in parchment. Then I heat my griddle or cast iron pan, unwrap the ones I am using and cook one to three at a time depending on pan size. I do not use oil, just heat my tortillas flipping over every 30 seconds until the bubble up, the keep them warm in an over covered with aluminum foil until ready to use.

Can make all the tortillas you want!

Compared with my previous wrought iron tortilla press this was too lightweight and not as capable of getting a good press and nice thin tortilla as I'm used to.

We used it for making chapatis but they ended up being too thick. Thicker chapatis work for us so not a big deal. However, it may work well for tortillas.
