Cast Aluminum Tortilla Press, 6.5 Inch by SCI Scandicrafts

Flatten and prepare home made tortillas for great quesadillas with this tortilla press. Fabricated from heavy duty cast aluminum, a simple heavy duty tortilla press like this one is essential. It consists of two round, flat, cast-aluminum plates with a hinge at one end and a long handle at the other end. To use the press, lay a piece of plastic wrap on the bottom plate, then place a walnut sized ball of dough made from corn flour on top. Cover the dough with another layer of plastic wrap, close the press, and push the handle down firmly. Open the press and lift off the top section of plastic and you'll have a flat, round tortilla ready for the griddle. This same press is an excellent tool to use to flatten dough for Chinese dumplings or scallion pancakes.
