IMUSA Tortilla Press

Yes, it is quite versatile. Beyond tortillas, it works well for flattening tostones, arepas, and empanada dough.

While the surface is non-stick friendly, using a layer of plastic wrap or parchment paper is highly recommended. This prevents the dough from sticking to the aluminum and makes it much easier to transfer the flattened dough to your pan.

The press is lightweight at 1.83 lbs, which makes it easy to handle. Because it features an ergonomic lever, you can apply the necessary pressure to achieve a thin, uniform tortilla without needing a heavy-duty industrial press.

The press should be hand-washed with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh scrubbers or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the finish and the material over time.

This model has a 6.5-inch diameter, which is the standard size for street-style tacos. If you are looking to make large burrito-sized tortillas, you would need a larger press.
