Simply insert a ball of masa and with one press, a fresh tortilla! Easy to use, easy to clean, compact for easy storage. Recipe included! To clean, wipe with damp or dry cloth. Hint: Use two pieces of wax paper, parchment paper or saran wrap to line each side before placing the ball of dough in the press. This will keep your tortillas from sticking to the press. *Not intended for flour tortillas.

This traditional press allows home cooks to make corn tortillas that are superior to the mass-produced product found in supermarkets from Oaxaca to Cheyenne. Simply follow the easy recipe included with the press, roll up a ball of dough, press it down lightly with your fingertips in the center of the press, and push down the press's lever. Not only does this yield better-tasting tortillas, it's tons of fun--especially for kids. Norpro's 6-inch press is made of heavy cast aluminum polished to a chrome finish. --Fred Brack

I bought a bag of "Maseca" (maize corn flour) at the International Market, but I've seen it for sale in the Mexican food section of regular grocery stores. I mixed it up according to the directions (VERY easy) and my first try was a miss. I tried using wax paper and the tortilla wouldn't let go of it. I cut up a ziploc bag and used it for the bottom and top and pressed another tortilla out. It was WAY too big and squished out the sides of the press. The only problem I had was getting the dough ball the right size. I found that using a ping-pong ball size of dough worked best and learned not to press the tortilla press all the way down. I would lift it up and look at the tortilla in progress of being pressed and could easily re-adjust where it was lying by sliding the plastic around. If it was off center I could re-position it and continue to make a pretty nice tortilla.
I fried mine in a cast-iron skillet but would like to get a griddle so I can cook more than one at a time. This press works great. The tortillas aren't very big and I'm going to try another brand of maize flour, but it was fun and I will be using this again many times. The press is super easy to clean under running water and a little soap. I lay it open on it's side until dry and put it back in the box it came it.
This is what I do:
1) Mix up the maza and keep it moist. I roll out the balls first.
2) Use 1 sheet of wax paper.
3) Fold the wax paper in half (I do this diagonally so that it fits)
4) Put the wax paper so that the open end is at the hinge side of the press and the folded part of the wax paper is at the handle side of the press. This will help in removing the tortillia.
5) Put your tortillia ball about 1 inch off center towards the hinge of the press and then fold over the wax paper and close the press. The maza being off center will keep it evenly pressed. If it is in the center it tends to get pushed forward too much and hangs off the press.
6) Open the press and run the wax paper with your hand a few times prior to peeling of the paper. This helps to break the bond. Turn the paper over and do the same thing to the other side. The tortillia now will fall out the paper very easily.
7) Since the paper peels off the tortilla from back to front, the tortillia will not rip. If the paper were the other way it tends to rip the tortillia as the handle side of my press makes the tortillia thinner there.
Hopefully this helps get you started. I love this press. Wish it were bigger though.
I'm a beginner but I know how to make a very soft, pliable corn dough. This little press is more than adequate. I use 1 1/2 oz dough balls, made with just masa, water and salt... and with only slight pressure they spread out to the 6 inch diameter, at about 1/8 inch thick.
There's a trick to getting these to puff up like a balloon... First you need a wet (slightly sticky) dough and a hot griddle. None of my electrics will get to 500 F. That's what you need. (I use cast iron pan over a flame, and a non-contact laser thermometer.)
Seal one side for a minute, flip it and seal the other side for a minute. It's now air-tight. There's still water between the the two sides. This water can steam, and inflate the tortilla.
Flip it, wait three seconds, and then press hard in the center of the tortilla with the heel of a spatula, or a folded up paper napkin. Keep the pressure on for a moment, until the edges inflate. Then release it and the whole thing blows up like a balloon.

Overall this thing is great and has been an absolute life saver. My tortilla rolling time has been split at least in half and its not very labourous to finish off because its already the right shape and close to the right thickness!
Oh and the shipping was very fast, shipped Saturday and I got it Sunday! On the free shipping option!
Reviewed in Mexico on April 11, 2019
It's 6 inches wide which might be small for some people but the size of tortillas this press makes reminds me of tacos from roadside restaurants in Mexico.
Make sure to sandwich the tortillas between parchment paper before pressing, they will come out perfectly and will not stick. Grab yourself some Maseca corn flour and make some delicious homemade tortillas with this press.
The press itself is very light, which makes me wonder about it's long term durability. So far it works well and without any issues. If you want a heavier press then look for one made of cast iron instead.
I wholeheartedly recommend this press for anyone looking for a reasonably priced, high quality press.
