Victoria 8 Inches Cast Iron Tortilla Press, Roti Maker and Tortilladora, Pataconera Seasoned with Flaxseed Oil, Made in Colombia, Traditional Style, Black

This tortilla press is the real deal. It’s solid cast iron, so it has the perfect weight to flatten dough evenly without having to push too hard. I’ve used it for corn tortillas, arepas, empanadas — even mini naan — and everything comes out perfectly round and uniform. It’s super easy to clean (just wipe it down and lightly oil it after use), and it feels like something that’ll last forever. I also love that it’s made by Victoria — you can tell it’s high quality and well-crafted. If you make homemade tortillas or just want to upgrade from a cheap aluminum press, this one’s absolutely worth it. Feels professional and gives consistent results every single time.

This cast iron tortilla press is an excellent tool that delivers on both performance and value. It’s surprisingly versatile, I originally got it for tortillas, but have since used it for pie crusts and dumpling wrappers too. The press is simple to use, just place your dough ball slightly closer to the hinge (vs. the middle), close the lid, and press down with the handle. It flattens dough evenly into a nice circular shape that’s hard to replicate with a rolling pin, and does so quickly and consistently. The cast iron has a solid, heavy feel that actually works in your favor, you don’t need to apply much force to get great results. It comes pre-seasoned, which is nice, and while mine didn't have any rust or issues, I still recommend giving it a quick light oil coat every now and then to maintain it. Using parchment paper between the plates also help keep cleanup nice and easy. The handle feels sturdy and reliable with no signs of stress or cracking so far, and the flat, compact design makes storage easy, even with the handle still attached. All in all, works beautifully, and feels built to last. Definitely worth a try in my opinion!

I’ve been using this cast iron tortilla press regularly for the past few weeks, and it’s made homemade tortillas so much easier and more consistent than pressing them by hand. What I like: Heavy, sturdy build: The cast iron feels solid and durable — no flimsy parts. Consistent results: I get evenly shaped, evenly thick tortillas every time, which makes cooking way less frustrating. Easy to use: Just place the dough ball, press down, and rotate — simple and quick. Multi-use: I’ve even used it for small flatbreads and wraps with great results. One thing to note is that the press is heavier than I expected, so I store it on a lower shelf. But that weight is really what gives it such great pressing power. Overall, this cast iron tortilla press has been worth it. If you like making your own tortillas — especially regularly — this is a tool that will make the process smoother and faster. Highly recommend!

I'm giving this Cast Iron Tortilla Press 4 stars because it does exactly what it's supposed to do: it presses perfect tortillas! The cast iron construction is undeniably robust. You can tell this thing is built to last and will hold up to years of use. I've been making consistently round and evenly pressed tortillas since I got it. The resulting tortillas cook up beautifully on my comal. However, and this is a big HOWEVER, be prepared for some serious heft! This press is super heavy. Like, surprisingly heavy. It's definitely not something you want to drop on your foot. While the weight contributes to its effectiveness in pressing, it also makes it a bit cumbersome to store and maneuver. If you have limited wrist strength, you might want to consider a lighter option, or enlist a helper! Also, I’d recommend investing in some parchment paper or plastic pressing sheets. It really helps prevent the dough from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. I didn't do that at first and learned my lesson the hard way! Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. The quality of the tortillas is worth the extra effort. Just be aware of the weight before you buy. It’s a solid, well-made product that will last a lifetime, but it’s definitely a workout tool as much as a kitchen appliance!

This is an excellent tortilla press. I had a heavy, cast aluminum one many years ago and it worked great but somehow ended up getting lost in our many moves and I never replaced it. Over the last year or so, I've been looking at various types of presses from different brands. The aluminum ones I have seen are nothing like my original one, so I decided to focus on the wooden and cast iron versions. I have a lot of cast iron cookware and I use it all of the time -- I find it incredibly easy to use and very durable. So when this 8" version became available, I was very interested. I chose this one over the pricer HD version in the same size, and this one is definitely sturdy enough for my use. Some reviews mention a handle that is plastic rather than cast iron, but the press I received is 100% cast iron and very well made. My favorite brand of cast iron (the iconic USA manufacturer) doesn't make a tortilla press and I have noticed that some imported cast iron cookware is not as heavy and often has unfinished areas and large pores, but this brand is of very high quality. I already have a dutch oven made by Victoria (imported from Colombia) so I was sure this would also be top-notch. And it is. Since it is cast iron, it will need a bit of extra care to prevent rusting so if you are not familiar with seasoning cast iron, be sure to do a bit of research before ordering. The press is heavy, smooth and pre-seasoned and turns out perfect medium-sized corn tortillas (I roll flour tortillas) that are then cooked on a comal/griddle on the stove top. The lettering is very crisply rendered. There is a smaller 6 1/2" as well as a larger 10" version, but this 8" model is just the right size for my family. The hinge pins and especially the cotter pins don't seem particularly robust, but they are holding up well so far + they can easily be replaced if needed -- they are inexpensive and readily available at a hardware store. I think this tortilla press is well worth the modest cost.

Very Poor Product! Highly priced.

I’d give this press 6 stars if I could. Casting is rugged and flawless. Very well seasoned. Made 16 5” tortillas in no time. The key is to use two cast iron fry pans. One on medium, the finishing one a little hotter than medium. Preheat. Use no oil. I also use two separate uncut zip lock bags. Make your dough using directions on Masa Harina bag. Roll a ball of masa harina about the size of a golf ball. Flatten slightly with your palm. Place on press covered with zip lock bag. Then place other zip lock bag on top of ball. Close lid and press lightly with lever. No need to press hard. End result is a 1/8” thick approx 5” diameter tortilla. Lift top zip lock plastic carefully then slide lower zip lock onto your palm. Tortilla peels off easily. Then into first pan. 15 seconds.Flip after 15 seconds onto second side for another 15 seconds. Then transfer onto the second hotter pan for 30-45 seconds. It will puff up. Then remove. Meantime prep another ball of dough onto press and have it ready for the transfers.Beautifully easy. You will be able to keep the assembly line rhythm once you get the hang of it. So easy and seamless. I found using a complete zip lock bag for each side makes it easier to make and peel off the tortilla. I suspect the double layer of plastic allows for movement without pinching the tortilla. Very pleased with this purchase. It’s a lifetime purchase and next I will try white and whole wheat tortillas. Washed complete press in very hot water and dried it off. Noted the beading of water on every part of this very well seasoned press. All edges nicely rounded and finished. Beautiful casting. I love cast iron cookware and have very fine and some very expensive pieces. This one is definitely a keeper. This press I will experiment with drying flowers and stems. One or two layers. Cover each side with heavy plastic so no moisture rusts the press. Lock lever with an appropriate weight.

Habiamos comprado anteriormente una en una tienda local que se oxido rápidamente y la superficie no era plana lo que dificultaba mucho hacer las tortillas. Dude en pagar casi 3 veces más por esta prensa que lo que cuestan las de los centros comerciales pero ahora que la hemos usado vale la pena, la calidad es mucho mayor y facilita mucho el hacer las tortillas a comparación de las otras. A favor: - El peso ayuda a aplanar las tortillas más facilmente - El tamaño facilita el hacer las tortillas sin tener que ser muy cuidadoso en el lugar en donde se coloca la masa - El curado previene el óxido En contra: - Hay que tener cuidado con no perder el perno de la palanca ya que tiende a salirse, incluyen uno de repuesto por si lo pierdes. Es algo menor que no afecta el desempeño.

1ère utilisation hier pour faire des tortillas de maïs. Très efficace et bien plus pratique que d'utiliser une casserole à fond plat ou un rouleau à patisserie.

Adorei, bem resistente com ótima qualidade
