Victoria Cookware Tortilla Press

Yes, it is versatile enough for a variety of pressed doughs. It works well for patacones (fried plantains), arepas, empanadas, and roti.

Because it is cast iron, it is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. It comes pre-seasoned with flaxseed oil, but you should maintain it like a cast iron skillet by occasionally rubbing it with a light coat of oil.

The press features an ergonomic curved lever designed to maximize leverage, making it easier to flatten dough without needing excessive physical strength. The reinforced base also helps keep the unit stable while you apply pressure.

No, it does not use a synthetic non-stick coating. Instead, it relies on a natural flaxseed oil seasoning, which provides a reliable release for dough when maintained properly.

Even with the pre-seasoned finish, it is best practice to use a piece of parchment paper or a cut-open plastic freezer bag between the dough and the plates. This ensures a clean release and makes cleanup much faster.

Yes, the handle is made from solid cast iron and is reinforced for durability. It is built to withstand the repetitive pressure needed for daily or frequent kitchen use.
