Brentwood Electric Tortilla Maker Non-Stick, 10-inch, Brushed Stainless Steel/Black

Happy to have this in my list of gadgets. It is fun to use and the tortillas turn out great! Nothing beats homemade tortillas!

The product is very low quality, first I received the product via mail not taped up and without a packaging box, it was just mailed as is in its original box. Once we received it it had grease or black stain all over the handle which is plastic, it weighs like a feather. We tried it giving it a chance and used it maybe twice and we make tortillas weekly so know what we are talking about, yet when pressed the plastic piece broke. It was not pressed hard as it is flimsy and as you can see from the picture you can see the quality of product for $60.00. The experience from the beginning should have just made us return it. We called customer service and they want us to pay $26.99 to send out a new one since the Amazon warranty expired by 1 day. They stuck to their rules and did not want to send one. Why would I pay again for something that is not worth the money. It is very cheaply made and this could be ongoing as I am sure it will break again. So no refund and if anybody wants to buy this I do not recommend it, you might as well gamble your money. Terrible experience with this company after sending pictures and telling them what happened. It was a waste of our time and money... Look out for this company.

It works well as advertised, but I think I’d personally be better off using a regular (non electric) press and a comal or griddle. It does not save me any time and can be a little frustrating.Pros….-It works great and I have tortillas!-Super Non Stick - Don’t need to use plastic or paper when pressing like a regular press. Easy to flip and move around tortillas.Cons…..-I think the main problem for me is that it starts cooking right as you press, so if you press too thin or something, it is too late to do anything about it.-After pressing, you open it up and still have to stand there and flip/rotate around etc. So not really saving much time or effort.-If cooking with the lid closed (to get the tortilla to puff up), you can’t see it, so overcooking is possible!-The one pro (non-stick) is also a con and it is a big one - It is so slippery that on flour tortillas, the dough often shoots out the front when pressing, so you end up having to reposition it (that is if you haven’t already pressed half of it). In fact it is so slick that if the maker isn’t perfectly level, they will slide right off.-Definitely a learning curve to use it.If I had it to do over I’d just get a regular tortilla press and a nice comal. But this does work well and functions exactly as described..

I had to reorder this one because the 1st one was damaged by the carrier. works well. the instructions are clear, and the heat level works as expected.

Ok, this is not the best reviewed tortilla press on the market. But, I'm a beginner. I wasn't ready to speed a lot of money on something I wasn't sure I would like to do. Heck, too much of a pain, I'll just buy them. I jumped for joy the day it came. Took a couple weeks to get here. Ripped open the box and sighed. Many of the same problems people had, I was now facing. Mild scratch on one of the plates. The thing I did not expect was the plastic handle . The handle to press down is plastic, I thought it was metal. My eyes rolled, screwed I thought! Should have listen to the reviews echoed in my head.The next day, I decided to try it! I had watched several You Tube videos on different products. One gentlemen stated stating at medium heat. I did that. I made several amazing tortillas, but they didn't have many or any brown spots. Heck, I'll just play with the temp. I increased the temp and it went down hill. Omg, they literally blew apart. The dough ball kept sliding and I had trouble closing to top. I went back to medium temp, Hubby ate them all. This is a learning process. I would give it 5 stars if one of the plates was not scratched (but did not affect the product). The biggest disappointment was the plastic handle, it wiggles back and forth too Gonna keep on making them til it does! Yeah, they are that good! I'm already know I will buy another one!

OK, I'm a gringo. I got this because I prefer corn tortilla. And the ones in the grocery store are too small for a decent taco IMHO. I've been through two bags of Maseca, white and amarillo, tried adding glutin, resting, not resting and watched a dozen videos. I can make decent tortilla with a manual press and a griddle, but I can't get this thing to make anything like a "normal" corn tortilla. it either blows apart if you press hard or a moment too long, or slides out. If you are quick enought to avoid a blowout, you get a thick tortilla that looks like a moonscape, The hot press idea may work fine for bread or flour tortillas, but the tortilla maker won't make tortilla.

The non-stick on this press is awesome. My old tortilla maker was great for flour tortillas, but eating autoimmune paleo, I had to start making tortillas with cassava flour. The cassava flour tortillas stuck to my old nonstick tortilla maker with a vengeance. It was unusable. The nonstick on the Brentwood tortilla maker is fantastic. My tortillas don't even think of sticking. In fact, I have to flatten my dough balls to disks, otherwise, they just skip across the cooker when I try to press them because it's so slick. If it works this well for an uber-sticky dough, I know it will work well with a traditional tortilla of wheat flour.The multiple heats are awesome, because the nontraditional flours that I use cook at different temperatures. This tortilla maker is much lighter than my old one, in fact, I thought it was a deficit until I started cooking with it. It presses great, cooks wonderfully, and doesn't break my back when I pull it out of the cupboard.Very happy with this tortilla maker.
