Yes, this press is designed to handle both corn and flour dough. Keep in mind that flour dough has more elasticity and may spring back slightly more than corn dough, so you might need to press it a few times or let the dough rest before flattening.

The press has a 6-inch diameter, which is the standard size for traditional street-style tacos. It is not designed to create large burrito-sized tortillas.

Yes, it is highly recommended to line the press with plastic wrap or parchment paper on both the top and bottom plates. This prevents the dough from sticking to the aluminum and makes it much easier to transfer the flattened tortilla to your pan.

The press is constructed from cast aluminum, which provides enough weight and leverage to flatten dough effectively without requiring excessive force. While it is lightweight at 1.5 pounds, the lever mechanism is designed to distribute pressure evenly for consistent results.

Absolutely. Because of its sturdy construction, it works well for flattening hamburger patties, making tostones, or pressing out unleavened wafers and crackers.

You should hand wash the press with warm water and a mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the harsh detergents can dull or discolor the polished chrome finish.
