ABUSA Thickness Adjustable Tortilla Press 8 Inch Tortilla Maker Bronze - Roti, Dough Press, Dosa, Tawa, Tamale, Pizza, Pie, Patty (Extra Oil Paper or Patty Paper needed)

This is one of 5 tortilla presses I have purchased. I use them to press pie shells for fried hand pies. This one gets my highest rating so far for the following reasons: 1: It does not leave black markings on my gloves, dough, or the parchment paper I use for pressing. This has been a problem with the cast iron ones that I have purchased. 2: The roller where the handle meets the press lid makes pressing easier. Some of the cast iron presses without this feature actually begin to create metal shavings in this area, which is not something you want happening around your food. My only complaint with this part is that if you are not careful to perfectly align it before begin to press, the wheel can chip the handle. 3: It is lightweight, which is nice when you need to put it in and out of storage. 4: It is easy to clean. So far, I am pretty content with this press. It has done 5 dozen pies for me and works quite well. I don't make tortillas, so I can't comment on its effectiveness for that, but pie crusts is tougher to press than corn tortillas, so I'm sure it works just fine for that.

De Juan primeras compás es lo mejor q compré súper buena y tengo dos años de tenerla y hasta ahora es q hago la reseña y ko se me a oxidado y ni les se ajuntan perfectos ya sea para empanadas o arepas o patacones

Highly recommeded tortilla press!!! This is the third tortilla press I have bought.The former two are made of cast iron. So I decide to buy a new material one-the cast aluminum.It is sturdy in constrction but much lighter than the iron one.Its rust avoidance is also a big advantage.It works very well and presses the flour very even and flat.I use it to press the corn tortillas,rotis,dough,empanadas.All come out perfect.It's really the best tortilla press I ever bought so far. Highly recommended!!!

OK in my original review I only gave this two stars because the bearing broke right away. While the seller did not solve the problem, they did reach out, and I was able to solve the problem myself by replacing the bearing with five washers (see photo): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R26S9W7/ Not a perfect fit, not sure if they roll or just allow the handle to slide, but they hold up way better than the original bearing. The final piece of this puzzle for me was to order two eight inch silicon mats: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08V58RX65/ The fixed bearing and the mats have turned this adjustable tortilla press into cracker factory! Before the mats the crackers were a little thick with the smallest spacers. The mats produce perfect thin crackers, and are way easier to roll crackers off of than parchment paper, plus they are reusable and the perfect size. So still docking one star for the bearing, but this thing is doing exactly what I want it to.

My kingdom for a -5 rating option. To begin its first use, the bearing broke while pressing the FIRST tortilla. Loud pop. Dog jumped and ran out the doggy door, ball bearings scattered across the countertop... yet even then I figured I'd clean it up and give it a chance; don't *really* need it (and at that point understood why they supplied an extra bearing in the packaging). I nevertheless put the first tortilla on my skillet... I notice some green flakes in the dough when flipped... I slowly put green flakes and the 8 Inch Tortilla Maker Green together... I go back to the press, and sure enough: the green coating is, at best, apparently, low-quality spray paint that the two screws intended for the height adjustment immediately destroyed, flaked, and sneakily distributed in the dough while I was living my life not thinking any such thing would ever happen with a brand new product. That's the "harmful to itself" part: It cannot fulfill it's sole purpose of existence without breaking... in multiple ways. (while also getting paint, lubrication oil, tiny ball bearings into your dough. Not ideal in a product characteristic) It goes into the trash and I sad-faced began to clean, during which I notice that the green paint actually melted into my favorite cast iron skillet... which of course, will never come off... so I'm left debating throwing that away as well. Harmful to others. Do. Not. Buy. This. Product. It's so bad it breaks so you can't even return the thing.

Beautiful, sturdy piece of equipment with one large weakness. The bearing that the arm levers against shattered during the 2nd use. A replacement is included in the original packaging but if it’s of the same quality it will break after a couple uses. This issue has been discussed by many verified purchasers. If the manufacturer upgraded the quality of this one component, this adjustable tortilla press would be a solid five stars. Please fix this and I will be recommending the press to all my friends and family. One more request…could you market a larger version, perhaps for 10” tortillas/pizza crusts?

This works great and, as a bonus, pressing chicken and pork makes for super easy cutlets!

I can make tortillas with greater diameters (whatever diameter desired) at whatever thickness I want. They are even thickness with super consistency. This is the only press I’ve used where variability of how hard you press, where you placed the dough, how quickly you close the press is taken out of the equation.

This is a great product. Just the way it is designed, it presses the dough ball very evenly side to side. Also, it is made from Aluminum, which makes it very light weight. Overall, a great buy

It swivelled when I closed it and it wasn’t what I expected. I did return the product and received a full refund. Thank you
