Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Imusa Victoria Cast Iron Tortilla Press, 6-1/2-Inch
Customer Review: Wonderful... but with some adjustment! Read below...
Summary: 5 Stars
I will rate this a 5, but with a few comments on adjustments I have made to make this really meet it's potential. First of all, this is very sturdy. I have owned mine for over a month now, and have made a countless amount of flour and corn tortillas since (not bad for a gringo, eh?). Some reviewers mentioned the dough sticking, so having to use parchment paper. No way! I lightly flour the top and bottom every 6 tortillas or so, and remove the flattened dough with a spatula. Works great! For flour tortillas, this press does not get them thin enough for my liking, so I use the press, then use a one-hand rolling pin to flatten it a bit more, rolling it right there on the press or for larger tortillas, on a floured board. Much faster than rolling the whole thing out by hand. Corn tortillas come out just right, as long as you use the spatula. If they are too sticky, add a bit more masa to the dough. Make sure with either recipe, you place the ball of dough slightly off-center toward the hinge before pressing it out.
I never use soap on my press. I believe with cast iron, it is better to let it season to prevent stickiness later on. If needed, I wipe it with a damp towel and store for our next fiesta meal.
To really have super success make sure to let your freshly cooked tortillas steam in a tortilla keeper or under a thick kitchen towel. This will soften them before serving. Good eating!
