Product Description
Manual tortilla presses or pataconeras are utensils used in many countries, not just Mexico, to help shape all kinds of dough. VICTORIA cast iron tortilla presses are the perfect combination of tradition and functionality, designed to last a lifetime.
To season cast iron utensils, you must apply a layer of oil or fat and heat them, preferably in the oven for 15 minutes or on the stove until you see a wisp of smoke. This will protect the iron, prevent it from rusting, and keep it in good condition. It is important not to scrub the bottom with too much pressure so as not to remove this layer of oil (patina).
When washing them
There are several correct and effective methods for washing your cast iron utensils to ensure they remain in good condition. You can use mild soaps to remove excess food from the surface and, if necessary, use a steel wool pad; you can also scrub with a little coarse salt to provide the friction needed for cleaning. After washing, it is important to carefully dry the entire surface of your utensil with a dry towel and apply a layer of oil or fat.
It is important to keep in mind that seasoned cast iron is not suitable for dishwasher use, while enameled cast iron is completely dishwasher safe; however, doing so will considerably remove the patina that forms from oils and fats during cooking, which provides a greater natural and healthy non-stick surface for each preparation.

Benefits of cast iron
- Works with different heat sources, such as ovens, campfires, induction, glass-ceramic, gas, and electric cooktops.
- Lasts for generations.
- Retains heat and distributes it evenly, ensuring that meat is cooked to perfection.
- Its natural non-stick surface is achieved through seasoning and proper maintenance. If both processes are followed, the non-stick properties will improve progressively.

Mexican here, well I jus approve 100% all- Quality- Sturdiness- Weight- iron pressing force
Es de buen tamaño, si está pesado, lo que no me gustó es que apenas tiene 2 usos y ya se empezó a oxidar, no se ocupa seguido.
I love this tortilla press. The box came messed up but it didn’t affect the press. Highly recommend!
Esse produto estava há tempos na minha lista de desejos, ele é ótimo pra fazer tortilhas. Produto bem acabado e que durará muitos anos.
悩んだ末にこちらにしました。重いし大きいです。でも、この重さが重要なんだろうな。とにかく速攻で綺麗にできる！今まで手伸ばしだったのでものすごくラクになり週1で使っています。もっと早く購入すれば良かった。
Se hacen unas tortilla finas y perfectamente redondas sin esfuerzo. Hacer las tortillas con rodillo es una pesadilla, necesitas muchísimo tiempo y paciencia. Pesa mucho y hay que tener cuidado con el agua, pero tiene pinta de que va a durar toda la vida y la van a poder heredar mis hijos. La medida es estupenda para poder hacer tortillas un poquito mayores. 100% recomendable.
Me ha gustado muchísimo mi prensa para hacer tortillas, gorditas, etc., de muy buena calidad, es de hierro forjado, estoy segura que hará las tortillas parejas, mañana la estrenaré, estoy muy contenta con esta compra, la recomiendo totalmente, gracias Amazon por brindarnos productos de tan buena calidad.
Ok. This thing may have fractured in half- but it has survived 8 years of my husband using it from tortillas to flattening dough for home made gram cracker. He stated there was no signs of a fatigue fracture- just straight up brittle failure. So- yes- it broke. But we are still going to buy another.
Although as heavy as a toddler, this sturdy tortilla press worked perfectly for flatbread. We make flatbread for food bank distribution. Many rolling pins and cutters in play. This will remove many of the extra steps that typically slow us down. Consistently flattens. Easy to clean.
I have only used this press once so I wont be able to speak of the longevity.I watched several you tube videos and reviews before selecting this one. It worked beautifully for corn. I used Bobs Red Mill recipe and followed directions that came with the press.I also used it for flour tortillas. It helped with the process. I pressed then rolled out with rolling pin a bit larger. Definitely cut down time rolling out from a ball vs small circle start.It was a good investment for us as we do enchiladas and quessadillas weekly. I plan to try pressing chicken cutlets for piccata and like.
Die Tortillapresse ist bestens geeignet um schöne, runde Tortillas oder Tacos zu machen. Das Material ist massives Gusseisen, entsprechend schwer ist das ganze. Die Qualität ist dadurch extrem hoch. Man kann viel Druck ausüben, um die Tortillas dünn zu kriegen. Die Reinigung erfolgt mit heißem Wasser.Klasse Produkt. Definitiv eine Empfehlung
Ich bin begeistert von der Tortilla Press von Victoria! Die Presse aus Gusseisen ist sehr robust und langlebig. Man kann damit perfekte dünne und gleichmäßige Tortillas herstellen. Die Pressfläche ist groß genug, um damit jede Art von Teig zu handhaben. Die Hebelmechanik ist einfach zu bedienen und man spürt einen gewissen Widerstand, wenn man den optimalen Punkt für dem Tortilla erwischt hat.Ich habe sie für meine México & Tex-Mex-Abende mit Freunden verwendet und sie hat sich mittlerweile als unverzichtbar erwiesen. Auch die Tatsache, dass es von einem Hersteller aus Kolumbien stammt, fügt eine authentische Note hinzu. Ich empfehle die Presse auf jeden Fall für jeden, der gerne Tortillas selbst macht. Um langfristig Spaß mit dem Produkt zu haben, empfehle ich das Gusseisen alle paar Monate zu pflegen und mit ein wenig mit Öl zu behandeln, damit sie nicht rostet. Man kann mit der Presse natürlich nicht nur Tortillas herstellen, sie eignet sich auch hervorragend zum herstellen von z.B. Naan Brot.++ Robustheit+ Gusseisen+ vielseitig einsetzbaro Pflegeo schwierig zu lagern
This is a review of the Victoria 8 inch cast iron tortilla maker. Price at time of purchase is 37.49 (CAD $45.85 with an 18% discount) + taxes.= Pros:- Simple 2 step assembly- Sturdy and Durable (heavy)- Easy to clean- Easy to make flatbread, mini pizza base, stuffed tortillas (Indian paranthas). Just press the handle and all done= Cons:- If you are using whole wheat flour with husk then it will be difficult to get a very think tortilla- You need to use parchment paper or a plastic(ziploc as shown in video) so that the dough does not stick to the tortilla press= Overall thoughts:Making stuffed tortillas (paranthas) is now a breeze even with whole wheat flours which contain husk. Regular Indian wheat flour such as Aashirwaad etc also work when making rotis(tortilla). Just don’t expect them to be as thin as handmade ones.Definitely recommend this tortillas press for every day use.
The first one I bought turned all rusty after my first wash. The second one I received in exchanged for the first turned even more rusty after just a rinse of water. Returned both for my money back.
Hi, I was super excited for this bread maker, and it works exactly the same I thought, but unfortunately after its first use when I washed with simple water and with dish soap water both way, and I dried up the cast clearly but next day when I saw there were all zinc stain allover the cast. I washed again with simple water and dish soap water both way but unable to clean many of the zinc stain. Definitely, I will not prepared my food on zinc cast. However, the material is really heavy, easy to use but it is not pure iron material, will return this product and look for another similar product. SEE ATTACHED PICTURE AFTER FIRST USE.
Not a great quality, it doesn't flatten the dough enough, I still needed to roll it and it broke after just few uses.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We tested more than a dozen different oils and fats to get the best performance right from the start. Flaxseed oil, when used correctly, has always proven to be the best oil for base coats. This is due to several factors:
1. Polymerization: Flaxseed oil is a drying oil, which means it polymerizes more easily than non-drying oils, such as grapeseed oil, another popular oil for seasoning. This property allows it to form a durable, resistant, and non-stick seasoning layer on cast iron.
2. Smoke point: Flaxseed oil has a lower smoke point (around 225°F or 107°C). While this can be a disadvantage for cooking, it is actually beneficial for the seasoning process. The lower smoke point allows the oil to polymerize at lower temperatures, creating a strong bond with the cast iron surface.
3. Fatty acid composition: Flaxseed oil is high in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, which is relatively stable compared to the polyunsaturated fats found in grapeseed oil and other popular seasoning oils. This stability can result in a longer-lasting, more resilient seasoning on your cast iron cookware.
4. Food safety: Flaxseed oil, when properly polymerized, forms a stable and safe surface for cooking. The polymerized layer reduces the risk of oxidation and the formation of harmful free radicals during cooking, ensuring a healthier culinary experience.
Our cast iron comes high-temperature seasoned and ready to cook. Here are our recommendations:
- Hand wash and dry completely before the first use.
- It is normal for food to stick to the surface of cast iron cookware during the first few uses. To prevent this, we recommend using a small amount of cooking oil or fat until the seasoning strengthens and settles. You can use any edible fat, such as vegetable oil, nut oil, lard, or butter.
- When cooking with cast iron, it is important to use the proper temperature to prevent food from sticking. Cast iron retains heat very well, so we recommend using low or medium-low heat for most foods. Delicate foods, such as proteins, cook best on low heat.
- To protect the seasoning, we also recommend avoiding acidic foods like tomatoes, vinegar, and citrus until the seasoning has had time to develop.
- If you want to give your cast iron cookware an extra layer of seasoning, some people choose to season it one or more times before use. This is not necessary if you take good care of the cookware, but it can help create a thicker seasoning layer in less time. Ultimately, the decision is yours.
Although it can be exciting to start using your new cookware, it is important to avoid common mistakes that can damage the seasoning and cause problems when cooking. To prevent these errors, we recommend:
- If you make a mistake and rust appears or food sticks to the pan, don't worry: cast iron is durable and can be restored with proper care and maintenance. To learn more about how to re-season your cookware, check the instructions included in the packaging or on this website.
- Remember that, as long as your cast iron cookware is not broken, it can always be recovered and returned to its original state.
- With proper care and attention, your cast iron cookware will provide you with many decades of reliable use.
