This gadget might be fine for the beginner. After years of mixing and rolling my own, I found that the press tended to blow the tortilla apart and the cooked flavor was extremely bland without the cast iron pan to cook them in. There was no browning at all. The press did flatten the tortilla to a semi-acceptable thickness, slightly thicker in the middle

If you are serious about making tortillas and flatbread at home, pass right on by the Santa Fe Wrap Master Tortilla Maker.

I purchased one none months ago and it is now trashed - the plastic handle used to raise the top heating surface cracked in half. The leverage-force placed on this heat-resistant plastic handle could not not withstand repeated use. I don't think this was considered in it's design. I used it about a dozen times in nine months to make between 16 & 32 tortillas per batch.

The press does not evenly cook the tortilla. The hinged side of the iron was always underdone while the handle side got hard and crisp.

The quality of the press was poor - producing an uneven thickness in the tortilla. Typically, the hinged side produced a thinner bread than the handle side.

I ended up using the maker as a press/steamer, finishing each tortilla off in a hot cast iron skillet.

The warranty was only 90 days, so dealing with the manufacturer was not worth the effort - and at the price, having it repaired wasn't worth it either.

I like everything about this except that the hinge does not allow for much thickness and the quesadilla will be thicker and more cooked at the back than at the front. I does brown the tortilla to a nice crispness and cooks in 4 minutes as advertised. We have used it a lot as a great way to use leftovers.

I agree with most of the other reviewers, but I didn't think it was as bad as some of them did. The design does make a sightly uneven tortilla and it isn't going to be like the ones cooked in a cast iron pan. My thing is that you should not expect homemade goodness when it is not really homemade. I have had mine for several years and it hasn't broken, but I might use mine less often than others. It is acceptable for wraps or just to quickly roll out your dough, but don't expect excellence. I am satified, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This tortilla maker is one of the best small appliances I have bought. My children love homemade tortillas.

Help! I just love my Tortilla Maker by Santa Fe, however, I don't seem to have any instructions or booklet that may have been with the Tortilla Maker. Could you possibly send me what came with the Tortilla Maker. I purchased it at a Base Exchange and they don't h ave anymore and someone must have removed the instructions. It's useless without instructions. I'm anxious to use it. I need a receipe to make the Tortillas. Thank You, Tricia
