A heavier, more stable press than typical aluminum versions, worth it if you check the handle and hinge on arrival given the reported quality-control misses.

Overview
Fox Run's cast iron tortilla press with a 7.25-inch pressing diameter, built for pressing corn or flour tortillas down to about 7 inches from balls of masa. Also used for patacones, arepas and empanada dough.
Quality control is inconsistent though: one reviewer's first unit arrived with a broken handle and needed a replacement, and another found assembly difficult before it broke outright. Hand wash only; a rust-preventing coating is applied but this isn't a dishwasher item.
- 7.25-inch pressing diameter
- Makes 7-inch corn or flour tortillas
- Rust-resistant coating
- Overall size 9.25 x 7.5 x 1.5 inches
Pros and cons
- Cast iron weight presses more evenly than aluminum
- Disassembles for cleaning
- Also works for arepas, patacones and empanada dough
- Hand wash only, not dishwasher safe
- Some units arrive with handle or assembly defects
- Only available in one 7.25-inch diameter
Performance notes
The weight of the cast iron body does the pressing work, applying even downward force through the lever so a ball of masa flattens into a uniform disc rather than an uneven push in a lighter aluminum press. The tradeoff is that cast iron needs hand washing and a protective coating to resist rust, unlike anodized aluminum presses.
