This is an artesanal tortilla press, made by hand , not 7:24 mass produced.Even cutting the metal is made by hand.As everything made by hand you will find a bit of imperfections if you expect a mass production. The family making this tortilla press (Dona Rosa) has decades in Mexico, Oaxaca making them, this is art in a tortilla press, and like any art , some people don’t see it and others pay a lot for having it.
yeah i hear you, it's one of those subjective things that is hard to quantify. personally, i like the subtle variations that come with handmade products, but the variations that come from welding steel together are super lumpy and don't have the same charm (to me) as something handmade from wood or chiseled from stone.
My favorite thing is that salsa music plays when using this press. But seriously, I'm saving my pennies for this press. On your comment about the messy welding. I'm sure if they sell enough they can look at their manufacturing process and upgrade that. Either way, it's going to cost money to fix that issue so the product may cost more.
I've just realized that it's made in USA. With the trade war that Trump is starting, I'm looking for something that's not made in USA I wonder if there are any nice presses made outside USA.
4:53 the cast iron one does have a handle just left of your hand placement, it is smaller but it's just funny how you try to lift the plate(retrospectively, that's probably just a way to increase interaction for better visibility by the algorithm, which i understand)
@@august_buildthank you for replying to my comment, I think this is the first time I get a reply in real time from op in the RUclips comments, kinda reminds me of RUclips back in the day when all youtubers were small channels, watched the segment again and I see that you are trying to show how the cast iron one is more difficult to lift from the surface while you mention how other presses don't have handles to lift the top plate. I really enjoy your videos. Keep at it!
I have the masienda tortilla press I used it once and went right back to a heavy-duty pie plate. The fact is I can control the thickness with wooden skewers for tortillas. I use paint stirers from the hardware store for thicker tortillas, a half-inch pvc for burger patties, and thick gorditas that I fry up crisp with a hot steamy center and fill with picadillo. Don't get me wrong it's an excellent tortilla press and it's completely unnecessary. Also this thing has some serious heft to it and if your not careful it will mar your counter top or table with those pressed steel feet. It's also a hundred bucks. My neighbor has a set of folded over strips of aluminum foil in a variety of thicknesses and she has one for every filling in her arsenal.
interesting, how does your pie plate setup work? you just put dough inbetween two pie plates and stack them ontop of each other? the pie plates I'm thinking of all have lips that would prevent me from using long wooden skewers to control tortilla thickness
@august_build use two pieces of food grade plastic or parchment paper you take your glass pie plate and press down on your dough with the bottom of the pie plate you can actually see it spread to your desired size. Because i wash and dry my plastic liners I can have a dozen tortillas pressed and ready to drop onto a hot comal or pot of hot oil for gorditas. even sopez are done this way. use your dining room table as opposed to your counter top that way your upper body weight does all of the work.

This video review had high production value and overall was excellent. I will look for your other videos.
Awesome, thank you!

glad you appreciate the salsa music! i hope they also upgrade their tortilla press manufacturing

Love it! A taco Tuesday must have!
So good!
I didn't think I needed a taco press but now I do!
gotta have it!

that's not a handle to lift the press, it's just a notch for opening the top lid. If you lift from there, the bottom will not move.
