Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Cast Aluminum Tortilla Press
Customer Review: one of the "necessary" items for the kitchen
Summary: 5 Stars
Norpro Cast Aluminum Tortilla PressI'm always cautious of negative comments on internet sites. You should first presume that angry customer didn't/can't read the directions. This is a wonderful tool in the kitchen. However, I use a storage bag--not wax paper which I can taste--cut on three sides. There is no nuisance as with plastic "Saran" wrap. Tortilla making is not a violent process. It would be very difficult to break this unless the dough you're using is too dry. Keep the dough moist with a damp towel over the bowl. I use a small ice cream scoop and form all the balls of dough before I start pressing, cooking the tortillas as they come off the press. Lard, of course, enhances the taste. I expect this item to last the rest of my life.
Description of Norpro Cast Aluminum Tortilla Press
Homemade tortillas are truly a treat, and like nearly all flatbreads, not too difficult to make. Get your tortilla flat and even with this simple manual press. This could be one element of a fabulous "flavors of the Southwest" gift basket.This traditional press allows home cooks to make corn tortillas that are superior to the mass-produced product found in supermarkets from Oaxaca to Cheyenne. Simply follow the easy recipe included with the press, roll up a ball of dough, press it down lightly with your fingertips in the center of the press, and push down the press's lever. Not only does this yield better-tasting tortillas, it's tons of fun--especially for kids. Norpro's 6-inch press is made of heavy cast aluminum polished to a chrome finish. --Fred Brack
