Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is an excellent tortilla press. We just recieved one and yes, it is a bit greasy out of the box, but this is not a hinderance. It made very flat, thin, and (most importantly) consistently good tortillas. In order to avoid contact with the grease (which there from the manufacturing process to prevent the cast iron from rusting - not necessarily a bad thing), we took a 1 gallon Ziploc bag (food grade plastic) and cut it at the seams to create two pieces of plastic. We then trimmed the plastic sheets to be slightly larger than the press. This works wonderfully, we only need to peel the pressed tortilla from the plastic sheet and lay it in to the griddle. We would recommend this press to anyone interested in making their own tortillas, sopes, or other dishes requiring use of a press.
