Overview
A manual cast aluminum tortilla press that flattens a ball of masa into a round in one motion, sized for roughly 6 inch corn tortillas. It has no motor and no cord, just a hinged lever built for repeated use.
- Cast aluminum construction
- About 6 inch pressing diameter
- Recipe included
- Wipe-clean, no dishwasher needed
Who it's for
Suits home cooks making corn tortillas, pupusas or similar pressed dough regularly and willing to line the plates with plastic each time. Anyone wanting an even edge-to-edge thickness or planning to press flour tortillas should expect extra work or a different tool.
Pros and cons
- Flattens masa into a round in a single press
- Works well for pupusas and similar stuffed dough
- Compact and easy to store
- Simple to wipe clean
- Dough sticks without a plastic liner on both plates
- Hinge side leaves a thicker edge than the handle side
- Not effective for flour tortillas, which still need rolling
- Handle has been reported to snap under heavy repeated use

Frequently asked questions
Is the tortilla thickness even across the Norpro press?
Several owners report the hinge side stays slightly thicker than the handle side, since the plates do not fully close there; rotating the dough 90 degrees before a second press can even it out.
