Cast Iron Mexican Tortilla Press 19cm | Homemade Corn Tortillas

Make fresh corn tortillas at home with a traditional cast iron tortilla press.

This sturdy manual tortilla press creates evenly pressed tortillas up to approximately 19cm in diameter. The cast iron construction provides the weight and pressure needed to flatten prepared masa quickly and evenly without having to roll each tortilla individually.

To use, prepare your masa, form it into a ball and place it between two suitable sheets or liners in the centre of the press. Lower the handle to press the masa into a thin, even tortilla ready to cook on a hot pan or comal.

For traditional Mexican corn tortillas, use with masa harina, rather than ordinary corn flour. Petits Trésors stocks Masa Lista Masa Harina 1kg, a nixtamalised corn flour specifically made for preparing tortillas, tamales and other masa-based Mexican dishes.
