Tortillada Tortilla Press

Yes, seasoning is essential. Because this press is made of raw cast iron, seasoning it creates a non-stick surface that prevents your dough from sticking to the metal and protects the press from rust over time.

Absolutely. While it is designed for tortillas, the 8-inch surface is perfect for flattening arepas, tostones, rotis, and even small flatbreads. Just ensure your dough consistency is appropriate for pressing.

You should hand wash it with warm water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using soap if possible, and never put it in the dishwasher, as this will strip the seasoning and cause the cast iron to rust.

Not at all. The heavy-duty cast iron construction provides natural weight, and the handle is engineered for leverage, which helps you apply consistent pressure across the entire surface with minimal effort.

The press does not include liners. We highly recommend using two pieces of parchment paper or a cut-up plastic freezer bag between the dough and the press plates to ensure the tortilla releases easily and to keep the iron clean.
