IMUSA USA Tortilla Press, 8 Inch, Silver

I’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!

So I just got this product because I've been seeing my son-in-law use it for about 4 years now and when I was little my mom had us make it tortillas every weekend she had 14 kids so making tortillas for 16 people for the week meant we had to knead a lot of dough might be one of the reasons I have arthritis in my fingers anyways with that being said I never even tried this press all the times I've seen my son-in-law making empanadas and tortillas I never asked him could I see if I can press that but since Amazon offers free shipping and free returns I thought when I get back home I'm going to get me one of those worst case scenario I hurt myself trying to press it on the contrary this thing is so simple you can let anyone use it from the youngest person in your kitchen to the oldest person with arthritis I have degenerated joints as well as arthritis in all of my fingers and wrists the worst part about making tortillas for me is all of the needing and the rolling of the rolling pin again this was so simple and if you parchment paper it makes simple even simpler because now you don't have no mess nothing to clean up even though I wipe down my product before I put it away it needed no wiping it gives you full instructions which I didn't need to look at it was kind of common sense because I used masa some warm water and I put seasonings that I liked in it I used turmeric and black pepper and almost everything that I cook so I put that in there with some salt and pepper garlic and onion powder and Bam I had this tasty tortilla for my chorizo and eggs now I like my tortillas very flat I prefer them flat as a spring roll wrap you're not going to get it that flat but after I pressed it pressed it between the palms of my hands to get slightly thinner and with my last one I didn't do that just to see if I would like it and not only did I like it I loved it especially cuz I had all that flavor in there I would say if you want to save some money on buying dozens and dozens of tortillas you want to get this for me I am the only one in my household who needs a tears I bought it because when I run out I don't like to run out to the store to buy more tortillas but I'm not a bread eater so many times I won't eat if I don't have tortillas when I need them for my food and I need them everyday now me I have tasted tortillas at my son-in-law's house that were sitting in the refrigerator overnight and I personally rather have mine's fresh so I will definitely be using this pretty much every day I'm sure because I eat tortillas if not for breakfast then for dinner I can't speak on the quality right now it seems like it will last a while long as my husband don't touch it never even touch my son-in-law so I didn't know this was metal I thought it was plastic because it looks plastic but I have the gray cast aluminum 8" one like he does because the black one cost like three times more🌮💝🌮

It's a good, lightweight product. The material isn't typical of a tortilla press, which makes it easy to use. I didn't give it 5 stars because when you try to make a tortilla, it doesn't press evenly. It leaves some thinner sides and others thicker than the circumference. I don't know if this is due to the light material or because it doesn't press as well when you use a lever. However, it's a product that performs 90% of its function.

I’ve been using the IMUSA 8-Inch Tortilla Press for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s been a solid addition to my kitchen. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and perfect for making homemade tortillas, arepas, and even tostones.What I like:• It’s very easy to use—just place your dough between two pieces of plastic or parchment and press down.• The lightweight aluminum makes it easy to handle and store, especially compared to heavier cast iron models.• It’s ideal for homemade corn tortillas—just the right size for taco night.

This worked great for pressing tamale masa. It's aluminum which over time would wear out but for how often I use it, it's perfect. Would buy again.
