This machine is awesome. I make tortillas all the time now. We use it to make quesadillas a lot and parbake with this and melt cheese in a pan. It is easy to use and I am glad I chose one that cooks as well as flatten the dough.

Works perfectly and as described in the photo. It does turn off after it has been heated to maximum temperature so make sure to plug it in just in time to use it. Otherwise, it would be cooling down by the time you get to use it if it has been too long. I was really concerned because I know people who have bought multiple tortilla makers because they broke down one after another but this one works just fine and I think would last long.

This machine is incredible! I have no idea why there are any complaints. It could be how or what they are using it for. Let me explain what I bought it for. I love homemade tortillas but cannot roll them into a circle to save my life. You cannot use a regular press like the one for corn tortillas, it simply will not work. The dough just will not expand and the dough just shrinks right back up. So, I bought this to try out. OMG!!! It is so awesome. I plug it in, wait about 3-4 minutes, roll a ball of tortilla dough in my hand, place it in the machine and press down firmly for 2 second, pick it up and press it again for 2 seconds and BAM, perfect ROUND tortilla. This thing will make them small or to the entire diameter, all depends on how many times and how hard you push. I just make the shape by pressing down twice then take it out and put the tortilla on my cast iron griddle to complete the cooking. DO NOT HESITATE, BUY THIS THING!!!! The reason it WORKS is because it uses the moisture in the tortilla and it "steam presses" the tortilla into the perfect round shape. It only takes 4 seconds. You CAN leave the tortilla on the cooker and it will cook it to a golden brown. I just like the cast iron because I am old school. If you leave it in the cooker to finish cooking, it will make your tortillas crispy the longer it is in there. Almost like a quesadilla. If I could give this 10 stars I would. Trust me, if you roll tortillas now and hate it, this will change your life. Home made tortillas are NO LONGER a pain to make. I even make a bunch of dough and refrigerate whatever I don't use that day. I can put cold dough in the press and have the exact same results.

After using a couple of times, we have perfected our flour tortillas! This was one of our best countertop appliance purchase.s. We can make a dozen fresh tortillas in just 30 minutes! Fresh tortillas at a fraction of the cost of a package of tortillas from any grocery store!

This is the BEST tortilla press. It heats quickly, is durable and heavy duty, and stays hot through pressing all your tortilla dough. I do not bake the tortillas on it because I like to use a cast iron griddle. Besides buying this for myself, I also purchased this as a gift for someone, who also thinks this is the best product. If you're looking for a tortilla press, I say this is the one. I love this product.
