This press is amazing!!
This press is amazing!!! I bought it to make homemade paleo tortillas. The reviews saying this is only for corn tortillas is bogus. Also, if you are wondering about the handle, it is attached to the botton plate w/ a thick metal bolt and pin. They even send you an extra one. The majority of the pressing comes from the weight of the plates. If you are sticking a ball of dough on the plate pressing the plates down as far as they can go on the first press and then trying to press it the rest of the way out with the handle- you are using this item incorrectly and your handle will break off. Press, rotate, press, rotate, press rotate and them when it is almost as flat and round as you want it, use the handle to press for the final to achieve the thiness that you want. The other reciews about using parchment paper or plastic to press is critical. Also placing the dough closer to the hinge is valuable information. This product is well made. It takes serious misuse to snap a metal bolt. I almost didnt by this product because of this. Im glad I did and zi took the time to learn to use it properly b4 complaining it is an inferior product do to misuse.
