Helping me with making bread
- Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2021Verified PurchaseIt is useful to make roti if you are single and you don't want to use rolling pins have a messy counter top.
I am sure lot of you will be like it's so easy to make using traditional rolling pins,I am not here to argue if rolling pins work for you then this will not be a good product
But for me, this saves a lot of time and I dont mind having smaller and slightly thick rotis.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 17, 2024Verified PurchaseThe top and bottom plate do not touch all the way, resulting in the dough being limited to that thickness or come out thinner on one side than the other.
Would be an easy manufacturing fix. sadly, noone seamed to care checking the product for this obviouse production error.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy-Duty Tortilla Press – Easy to Use and Delivers Perfect Tortillas Every Time!
Verified PurchaseI’ve been using this tortilla press for a few months now, and I’m honestly impressed with its durability and performance. The build quality is excellent — it's made of solid, heavy-duty material (likely cast iron or aluminum depending on the model), and it feels sturdy and reliable every time I use it. No wobbling, no bending — it’s built to last.
From a functionality standpoint, it works beautifully. It flattens dough evenly and effortlessly, producing perfect tortillas with the right thickness in just seconds. The release time is fast, and with a bit of parchment or plastic, the dough lifts cleanly with no sticking — which is a huge plus!
The quality of the tortillas it produces is outstanding. Homemade tortillas come out soft, round, and perfectly cooked. The press definitely enhances the taste of my meals since fresh-pressed tortillas are far superior to store-bought. Whether I'm making corn or flour tortillas, or even pressing dough for arepas or empanadas, the results are consistent and delicious.
The appearance and presentation of the press itself are also worth mentioning — it has a sleek, traditional look that fits nicely in my kitchen. It’s compact enough for easy storage but also has a solid, professional feel. Whether I leave it on the counter or store it away, it adds a touch of authenticity to my cooking setup.
All in all, this tortilla press checks every box — strong, functional, easy to use, and produces fantastic results. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to step up their homemade tortilla game!
