This is the real deal,
By
This review is from: Imusa Victoria Cast Iron Tortilla Press, 6-1/2-Inch (Kitchen)
My husband is Mexican and is very picky about tortillas. We only eat corn tortillas and don't eat the preservative-laden tortillas in supermarkets. With a bag of Maseca, you can make as good tortillas as it is possible to obtain in the US outside of a huge Mexican enclave with a real tortilleria. We were stuck with an aluminum tortilla press for years and it's a total waste of time -- you cannot get thin tortillas with it at all, because the press is simply too light. This one is terrific. You must use some type of liner, like a slit plastic bag ( a filmy produce bag works great) or wax paper to place the dough between, but you can get super, super-thin tortillas with it. If you have an aluminum tortilla press, give it to a kid to pretend making tortillas with Play-Doh and buy this one. You will not regret it. This is one of the best kitchen purchases I have made in the last ten years and it's an essential in our house.

It works as a roti-maker too !,

This review is from: Imusa Victoria Cast Iron Tortilla Press, 6-1/2-Inch (Kitchen)
I bought this item from target yesterday and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I use this to make Indian chappati/roti bread.
All you have to remember is to keep the dough ball inside the plastic sheets. This is also written on the box and the reason is very simple ... this is made of cast iron and if it is exposed to moisture it will rust. Just remember that this is basically 6 inches in diameter !

Good but Arrived Broken,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Imusa Victoria Cast Iron Tortilla Press, 6-1/2-Inch (Kitchen)
This thing WORKS. My big drawback is it arrived in a HUGE box and arrived BROKEN - the handles had been knocked off. HOWEVER, Amazon replaced it rather quickly, and the second one is great. As everyone else says, it is coated in oil, and that is all right. I washed it off and coated with with olive oil, like all my cast iron stuff (living in a humid environment, everything here needs a good coating of oil :-)). It works, and using the plastic bags is a good thing.
So, if you need one, and cannot live without fresh tortillas, get one. I missed Texas for a looooong time because of the tortillerias there....fresh tortillas at all restaurants and the food <<sigh>> but now, I have learned to make salsa, fajitas, and a myriad of other good foods, so I am not so homesick :-)....especially since I can have my OWN corn tortillas!
