Cast-iron taco press

A sturdy, cast-iron tortilla press that makes it easy to make perfectly round tortillas of uniform thickness. The 7-inch (approx. 18 cm) pressing surface is ideal for making tortillas, rotis, and chapatis. The 2.8 kg cast iron design lets you make perfectly round, evenly thick tortillas at home quickly and easily! This sturdy, cast iron tortilla press is the ideal choice for making homemade tortillas, rotis, chapatis, and other flatbreads.

With the 7-inch (approximately 18 cm) diameter pressing plate, you can shape dough balls into even, thin discs with a single firm press. The 2.8 kg cast iron construction provides stability and sufficient weight for effective pressing, while the long handle makes it easier to apply the necessary force.

Sturdy Cast-Iron Construction
Thanks to its robust cast-iron construction, this press is suitable for regular use. One advantage of cast iron is that, when properly maintained, it is extremely durable, so a tortilla press like this can be a useful kitchen tool for many years to come.

Vegetable oil surface treatment
The surface of the press has been treated with vegetable oil, which forms the basis of the so-called “seasoning”—a layer of baked-on oil—that develops on the cast iron surface. This helps the dough release more easily from the surface. With proper use, this natural finish can improve over time.

Not Just for Tortillas
The press is primarily designed for making Mexican tortillas, but it can also be used to shape other flat doughs. It can be useful, for example, for:

corn and flour tortillas,
roti,
chapati,
and other types of flatbreads and doughs.
Tortilla presses are traditionally used to quickly and evenly flatten a ball of dough into a disc between two flat surfaces.

Use and Maintenance
Proper care is key to ensuring the long lifespan of cast-iron utensils. After use, remove any dough residue and then dry the press thoroughly. It’s a good idea to lightly oil the cast-iron surface to preserve and gradually enhance its natural oil finish.
