Crafted with care and tradition in Colombia, this tortilla press has quickly become a beloved staple in my kitchen, offering a blend of durability, functionality, and timeless design that elevates the culinary experience.First and foremost, the build quality of the Victoria Tortilla Press is exceptional. Made from high-quality cast iron, it feels solid and sturdy, promising years of reliable service. The weight of the cast iron ensures even pressure distribution, resulting in uniformly thin and perfectly shaped tortillas every time. This level of consistency is something that simply cannot be achieved with rolling pins or store-bought options.The 8-inch size of the press is ideal for a variety of uses, from crafting traditional corn and flour tortillas to experimenting with rotis, empanadas, and mini pie shells. This versatility makes it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to explore the vast world of flatbreads and pastries with authenticity and ease.One of the aspects I appreciate most about the Victoria Cast Iron Tortilla Press is its ease of use.

Excellent tortilla press (8″) — heavy & durable cast iron (requires a bit of TLC) + easy to use…
This is an excellent tortilla press. I had a heavy, cast aluminum one many years ago and it worked great but somehow ended up getting lost in our many moves and I never replaced it. Over the last year or so, I’ve been looking at various types of presses from different brands. The aluminum ones I have seen are nothing like my original one, so I decided to focus on the wooden and cast iron versions. I have a lot of cast iron cookware and I use it all of the time — I find it incredibly easy to use and very durable. So when this 8″ version became available, I was very interested. I chose this one over the pricer HD version in the same size, and this one is definitely sturdy enough for my use. Some reviews mention a handle that is plastic rather than cast iron, but the press I received is 100% cast iron and very well made. My favorite brand of cast iron (the iconic USA manufacturer) doesn’t make a tortilla press and I have noticed that some imported cast iron cookware is not as heavy and often has unfinished areas and large pores, but this brand is of very high quality. I already have a dutch oven made by Victoria (imported from Colombia) so I was sure this would also be top-notch. And it is. Since it is cast iron, it will need a bit of extra care to prevent rusting so if you are not familiar with seasoning cast iron, be sure to do a bit of research before ordering. The press is heavy, smooth and pre-seasoned and turns out perfect medium-sized corn tortillas (I roll flour tortillas) that are then cooked on a comal/griddle on the stove top. The lettering is very crisply rendered. There is a smaller 6 1/2″ as well as a larger 10″ version, but this 8″ model is just the right size for my family. The hinge pins and especially the cotter pins don’t seem particularly robust, but they are holding up well so far + they can easily be replaced if needed — they are inexpensive and readily available at a hardware store. I think this tortilla press is well worth the modest cost.

This Press Makes Great Tortillas, But Things Got a Little Crumby
As someone who loves homemade tortillas, I was eager to try out the Victoria cast iron tortilla press. With its simple design and sturdy cast iron construction, it seemed like just what I needed to take my tortilla game to the next level.The Good:Creates evenly thick and perfectly round tortillasEasy to use with a simple, designMade of heavy duty cast ironCompact size for easy storageThe Not-So-GoodNeed to use wax paper or plastic to keep the dough from stickingThe handle snapped off unexpectedlyFortunately, when I contacted Victoria, they apologized and are sending me a replacement handle free of charge. Despite the malfunction, the base itself is still in excellent condition and the handle will be easy to replace once we receive it.Overall, I can’t complain too much about a product that makes such deliciously authentic homemade tortillas. Once I get the new handle installed, I’m confident this little press will be a kitchen staple for years to come. In the meantime, I’ll just have to get creative about how to push it down without snapping anything else off!

Exatamente como anunciado, bem resistente e pesada, por ser de ferro fundido. Vem com pino adicional, para travar a alavanca. Muito bom.

Me reuse a comprar una prensa tradicional ya que la mayoria son de aluminio y no me dan confianza y las de madera siento que son poco higienicas al menos que les des el cuidado necesario, cosa que no tengo planeado ponerle tanta atención. Esta prensa es de hierro fundido, lo que facilita su cuidado y tiene una buena resistencia. Si la cuidas puede sobrevivir generaciones. Esta pesada lo que la hace facil de usar sin que se mueva en la mesa. Tiene buen tamaño y es facil cuidar la presion para el grosor de la tortilla. Es mucho mas cara que el promedio pero valio la pena cada centavo. La tuve en mi carrito por mas de un año esperando al dÃa que tuviera descuento y ese dÃa al fin llego. También valio la pena la espera.

Iâd give this press 6 stars if I could. Casting is rugged and flawless. Very well seasoned. Made 16 5â tortillas in no time. The key is to use two cast iron fry pans. One on medium, the finishing one a little hotter than medium. Preheat. Use no oil. I also use two separate uncut zip lock bags. Make your dough using directions on Masa Harina bag. Roll a ball of masa harina about the size of a golf ball. Flatten slightly with your palm. Place on press covered with zip lock bag. Then place other zip lock bag on top of ball. Close lid and press lightly with lever. No need to press hard. End result is a 1/8â thick approx 5â diameter tortilla. Lift top zip lock plastic carefully then slide lower zip lock onto your palm. Tortilla peels off easily.Then into first pan. 15 seconds.Flip after 15 seconds onto second side for another 15 seconds. Then transfer onto the second hotter pan for 30-45 seconds. It will puff up. Then remove. Meantime prep another ball of dough onto press and have it ready for the transfers.Beautifully easy. You will be able to keep the assembly line rhythm once you get the hang of it. So easy and seamless. I found using a complete zip lock bag for each side makes it easier to make and peel off the tortilla. I suspect the double layer of plastic allows for movement without pinching the tortilla. Very pleased with this purchase. Itâs a lifetime purchase and next I will try white and whole wheat tortillas. Washed complete press in very hot water and dried it off. Noted the beading of water on every part of this very well seasoned press. All edges nicely rounded and finished. Beautiful casting. I love cast iron cookware and have very fine and some very expensive pieces. This one is definitely a keeper. This press I will experiment with drying flowers and stems. One or two layers. Cover each side with heavy plastic so no moisture rusts the press. Lock lever with an appropriate weight.
