I received this product for free to test. Unfortunately, I was not pleased with how my tortillas came out. The press feels flimsy and too light to fully press the tortillas down, which resulted in thick tortillas. I was worried that I was going to break it trying to get the thinness that I wanted. It was easy to clean compared to cast iron presses I've used in the past, but I likely won't use it again unless I try making a flatbread or something that doesn't need to be completely flat.

I've been really impressed with this tortilla press. The cast aluminum design feels solid and durable, not flimsy like some lighter presses I've tried before. It applies even pressure, which makes it easy to get consistent, evenly shaped tortillas every time. I like to use parchment paper on both sides, and the dough comes out smooth without sticking. The size is perfect for making standard tortillas, and it saves a lot of time compared to rolling them by hand. Cleanup is simple, and it doesn't take up much space in the kitchen. The only minor downside is that you still need to apply a firm press for thicker dough, but that's expected with most manual presses. Overall, it does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys making homemade tortillas—it's a great value and makes the process much easier.

I made fresh corn tortillas using this press for the first time! It was super easy to use and lightweight. I'd prefer a heavier press and this felt like it would just fly off the counter if I wasn't careful. However, I can see how this would be nicer for maybe an older person who needs to get it up and down because those iron ones can be really heavy. We are going to make smashburgers tonight using this press to get them thin!! Can't wait!

I have been making tortillas for my kids for a while now, but have never mastered the art of getting them to that prefect thickness. This tortilla press has been amazing. Light enough to store easily with enough might when its needed to get the prefect thickness for my tortillas.

I tried the 8" cast aluminum tortilla press and it left a very good impression on me. From the first use, it feels solid and sturdy, with a weight that gives it great stability when pressing the dough. The 8-inch size is ideal for medium tortillas, perfect for tacos or quesadillas. At first, I had to adjust the amount of dough, but I quickly got the hang of it and was able to make evenly shaped tortillas. I recommend using parchment paper or plastic to prevent the dough from sticking, since it doesn't have a nonstick surface. One thing that stands out is the even pressure it applies, which helps the tortillas come out uniform in thickness across the entire surface. Also, after several uses, I haven't noticed any warping or misalignment. As a minor downside, it is a bit heavier than other presses, but that also adds to its durability and sturdiness. Overall, it's a great option for making homemade tortillas in a practical way. It does its job well and feels built to last.

I received this tortilla press for free in exchange for an honest review. I can honestly say it's a great product! I was able to use it to not just make tortillas from scratch, but also to flatten plantains to make Jibaritos and tostones. I will definitely be making this a staple in my kitchen.

This tortilla press is very lightweight, it's been a great addition to my kitchen. First time using it to make handmade tortillas and it was very easy. The only downside is that you have to use some type of plastic so the masa wouldn't stick to the press otherwise it's great.

I've been wanting one of these for a long time so I was very excited to try it out. It does work really well. The only thing I have to say it doesn't get the dough quite as flat and thin as I would like and I had to finish with a roller but it is nice.

Thank you to Imusa for sending me this 8" aluminum tortilla press to try out and review. I like to cook and make most meals at home, cooking a variety of different types of cuisines. I had been wanting to try out a tortilla press primarily to make roti (Indian flatbread) and was excited to try this press out. I tested this for a couple of weeks and here are my thoughts: Pros: - lightweight - easy to move around the kitchen / store when not in use - easy to clean - the surface of the press is easy to clean, especially if you use plastic bags or parchment on the inside of the press when using - presses dough to an even thickness throughout - simple to use - no complicated instructions or process to follow Cons: - the biggest con for me is that it didn't get the roti thin enough, no matter how much I pressed on the lever - 8" size is good for smaller flatbreads but I think a 10" size would probably be more useful My overall thought is that this is a decent press if you are making thicker flatbreads like pita or street style corn tortillas, arepas etc. If you're looking for something to help with making a roti, flour tortilla etc then this is not the right press for that purpose as it just doesn't allow for a thin enough result.
