Overview
An 8-inch cast iron tortilla press from Gonzalez, made in Mexico with a polished but slightly textured finish meant to grip dough without slipping, for pressing corn or flour tortillas at home.
This is a manual, non-electric press, the traditional cast iron style rather than a plastic or aluminum version despite the title referencing aluminum.
- 8 inch traditional press size
- Cast iron construction
- Made in Mexico by Gonzalez
- Reinforced pressing handle
Who it's for
Cooks making their own corn or flour tortillas regularly who want a heavy, stable press over a lighter aluminum one. Less suited to anyone who wants a plug-and-press result with zero technique, since a couple of buyers found it needs care to avoid uneven thickness.
Pros and cons
- Heavy cast iron construction feels sturdy in use
- Reinforced handle base for repeated pressing
- Produces uniform tortillas once lined properly
- Easy to wipe clean
Performance notes
The press requires lining the plates with plastic or parchment paper before adding the dough ball, several buyers settled on 8-inch silicone circle mats as a good fit.
