Description
The original since 1939. You won’t believe how easy it is to make your own tortillas at home. Gain control over what you and your family eat by choosing your own, fresh ingredients, without all the fillers and preservatives. The Victoria tortilla press has already pressed hundreds of millions of tortillas into perfection – both at home and in authentic restaurants all over the world. It really is so fast and easy, you’ll quickly make a habit of it. Some say it takes 10,000 hours to make an expert. All our cast iron is seasoned at high temperatures with organic flaxseed oil. Pun intended. Tortillas are not the only thing you’ll love home-making from scratch. The Victoria press is great for empanadas, flat breads, arepas, tostones, and more! Start by making your masa dough according to the instructions on the package. Mix the dough until it has the consistency of Play Dough. Once ready, separate the dough into 16 small balls about 3.2cm wide. Pro tip! Cut a zip-top disposable plastic bag along the corners to make two square plastic sheets (usually the sandwich size is perfect). Place one of the plastic sheets on the bottom plate. Place a ball of dough slightly off-centre, towards the closing hinge. Place the second plastic square on top. *(If you do not have zip-top bags, cling wrap or parchment paper can work too). Close the top plate. The weight of the plate will help you press down, and the lever will help you finish the press firmly. Not too much force is necessary. Open the press, place the plastic covered tortilla on one hand, & peel off the top plastic with the other hand. Flip the tortilla over onto your other hand and now peel back the second plastic square. You can start putting your pressed tortillas directly on a hot griddle, or on a plate separated with sheets of parchment paper if you prefer to cook or freeze them later.
