Cast Iron Tortilla Press

@colemphillips  

Tacos sounded good tonight, so Jason whipped up these fresh, delicious tortillas! We used our new, easy to use @unocasahome tortilla press, and we are so in love! 🌮

@mindful_molls  

I finally got to try the tortilla press that @unocasahome sent me and I am obsessed. I got to make HOMEMADE tortillas for my tacos last night! And let me tell you, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat a store bought tortilla again 🤩🤩

@ravenchiara  

All you need is some masa harina flour, water, & salt for a basic tortilla dough (but you can def add seasonings/spice, cheese, citrus, etc). Then roll, press, heat, & they’re ready to eat 😭 We use the @unocasahome cast iron tortilla press over on this side 👌🏼

How to use a tortilla press

• Once you've tasted fresh, homemade tortillas, you'll never want to go back to the processed store-bought version.

  Make restaurant-quality tortillas with this professional tortilla press in a matter of seconds!

  With a press, you don't have to use the manual method of rolling out tortillas by hand. The press will speed up the process and get perfectly sized and shaped tortillas every single time! This is how to use a tortilla press:

  Prepare the corn or wheat flour dough for your tortillas.

  Place it onto the inner surface of the tortilla press on top of parchment paper. The parchment paper will prevent your tortilla from sticking to the surface of the press.

  Gently close the lid of the tortilla or burrito press to press out a perfectly shaped tortilla.

  Once the tortilla is flattened to the desired thickness, simply remove it from the press, and discard the parchment paper.

  Cook the tortilla for around 30 to 40 seconds per side in a hot pan, until you can see a nice browned surface developing.

  After you've made your tortillas, there are hundreds of recipes you can use them for! Whether you want to whip up a batch of nacho chips using your tortillas, make some bean burritos or use them as wraps, tortillas made in the Uno Casa Press will be a perfect fit for every purpose.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I Use a Tortilla Maker Press for Flour Tortillas?

Yes, you can. This press is so versatile; you can use it as a flour tortilla press or as a corn tortilla press. You could even use it as a quesadilla press or a taco press. Not to mention using it for a range of other foods in a variety of cuisines.

How Easy is the Tortilla Presser to Maintain?

Tortilla makers are easy to maintain and clean. The press is pre-seasoned and can be used immediately without having to prepare it in any way. If you use the included sheets of parchment paper between the dough and the tortilla press, you will save cleaning time, and you won't need to season the press with oil as often. However, to protect the surface from rust, it is still important to clean and season it regularly. After using the press, clean it by removing all food residue. It should be cleaned with warm water only. You should never use dish soap or detergent on a cast iron tortilla press! Once it is cleaned, season your press to keep it rust-free and in top condition. This is how: Clean and dry it thoroughly, as explained above. Spread a thin layer of mild vegetable oil over the surface using a paper towel. Bake the press in a pre-heated oven for approximately an hour at 375°F.

How do I Cook the Tortillas?

Once the tortilla has been pressed, simply remove it and cook it. Place it in a hot pan for around 30-40 seconds per each side. If possible, we recommend using a cast iron pan with a flat surface to cook your tortillas. For the best results, you need a very high temperature and even heat distribution, which it's harder to achieve consistently with aluminum, copper, or steel pans. You'll know your tortilla is ready when you see the surface beginning to brown. Once cooked, you can serve the tortillas fresh with a meal or use them in a wide range of recipes.

What Size is the Best Tortilla Press to Buy?

The perfect tortilla dough press is the one that suits your tortilla-making needs, and size is one of the first things to consider. A large tortilla press will give you the option to make both large and small tortillas, but if you will only ever make small tortillas, save money and space by getting a smaller "8 tortilla press, instead of a 10" tortilla press.
