StarBlue 10 Inch Cast Iron Tortilla Press with FREE 100 Pieces Oil Paper and Recipes e-book - Tool to make Indian style Chapati, Tortilla, Roti

bei der erste Bestellung der Hebel hat gefehlt, wurde sofort neue geschickt, Funktion ist sehr einfach aber trotzdem vorsichtig weil bei starken Aufprall kann Guss brechen und nicht nass und feucht lassen, kann vielleicht Rostflächen entstehen die man später abwaschen könnte denke ich. aber lieber rechtzeitig abtrocknen. Ich habe eigentlich Edelstahl gesucht, aber Guss ist auch gut besser als Plastik oder Aluminium Materialien, Ich Glaube am gesundeste ist Edelstahl und Holz Ich bin mit mein Guss auch sehr zufrieden. Die Verbindungsschrauben sehen sehr schmächtig aus, aber man kann es bei Baumarkt nach Wunsch mit Edelstahl und stabilen Werkzeugen austauschen. Aber auch die Originale teile hält lange zeit denke ich. ich bin sehr zufrieden. die dicke bzw. Stärke der Teig kann man selbst wählen in dem ich mehr Teig oder weniger drauf tue , und kommt drauf an wie stark ich es gegen presse. ich finde diese Erfindung Toll wenn man mehrere teig machen möchte.

I orginally was going to give this a 2 star review and return it. it could make thick stubby tortillas, but that's it. I even had it packed in the box and ready to go. I couldn't get my flour tortillas very flat at all compared to hand rolling them with a rolling pin. I was super disappointed because my family likes homemade burritos at least once a week and hand rolling tortillas is time consuming and kind of hard to do. It was so heavy I delayed returning it. Good thing I delayed because I figured I'd give it one more chance. I looked up a new recipe that was heavy on the oil/lard and made a softer sticker dough than I was used to. If you hand roll then you know you can't have a sticky dough. It's the opposite with this, a stickier dough will simple flatten super thin. I now just add more water than i did before (almost half a cup water to one cup flour). its very sticky but will flatten nicely. My dough will actually squish out the sides without much effort. But you absolutely need the parchment paper! i also spray the paper with oil to make the squishing even better. If this thing came with a recipe book (like advertised) it might save people from using much drier recipes that simply don't work in a press. Another tip to work with the stick dough is to definitely use the parchment paper it comes with. after flattening only peel the top paper off. Slap the dough into your frying pan with the other paper still on, let it cook for a few seconds then peel off the remaining paper. It's pretty fun and effective. The bolt holding things together doesn't seem that sturdy BUT you don't need to press so hard it would break ... and it would be very easy to replace from a hardware store. I like this better than seem custom part that might be stronger but impossible to easily replace. This thing has turned into probably my favorite purchase all year. UPDATE: I've been using this a lot, and another tip is if you are only getting about 80% of the flattening done and getting the last bit is hard, just take it out of the press (with the parchment paper) and finish the flattening with a rolling pin. The press is easy to get the first 80% done, a rolling pin is pretty easy to get the last 20% done (if needed, maybe your dough is too dry or springy)

I bought this as an attempt to speed up the making of pizza bases. I wasn't sure it'd work for that purpose, but it does, beautifully. The wax discs it came with are great too, I just put one on the bottom plate, pop on a ball of dough, top with another disc and press. This is going to save me so much time when firing up my wood-fired oven to host big pizza parties. Getting perfect circles will take practice, but I am already delighted with the results. This is heavy cast iron and will hopefully last years. I have noticed some comments about shoddy bolts, but the ones mine came with are fine. I am very happy with this product.

Great product build, durable and reliable
