Uno Casa Tortilla Press

No, the Uno Casa tortilla press comes pre-seasoned and is ready to use right out of the box. However, like all cast iron, you should continue to maintain the seasoning over time to prevent rusting and ensure a non-stick surface.

No, this is a manual pressing tool designed specifically for shaping dough. You should press your tortillas between the provided baking paper sheets and then transfer them to a separate hot skillet or griddle to cook.

The baking paper acts as a barrier between the dough and the cast iron plates. This prevents the dough from sticking to the metal, makes cleanup significantly easier, and allows you to peel the pressed tortilla off without tearing it.

Not at all. While it is sized perfectly for 8-inch tortillas, the heavy-duty construction makes it ideal for flattening dough for empanadas, arepas, patacones, and other flatbreads that require consistent, even pressure.

Because the press weighs 7.5 pounds, the weight of the cast iron does most of the heavy lifting for you. You only need to apply firm, steady pressure to the handle to achieve a uniform thickness.

Clean the press by wiping it down with a damp cloth or a soft brush after use. Avoid soaking it in water or using a dishwasher, as this will strip the seasoning and cause rust; always dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil before storing.
