Fantastic! I was thinking wouldn't it be so much easier if you had a press and heating element all in one. I looked at electric roti makers but apparently they're not rigid enough to be good tortilla presses. Putting this on the stovetop makes so much sense. I think if you let it heat longer the lid would probably also get hot and might prevent some of the sticking but you've proven we can use a cast iron press to also cook our tortillas. If you had to make a lot of them probably not idea but for just me and my wife, we only eat a few at a time this is the solution. Thanks for sharing.
I have a tortilla press and I never thought to use it on the stove, genius😂 I wasn’t happy with his mine turned out either, I’ll have to try this!! Thank you so much!
Pretty awesome cooking tool! Kids would love to have that here
so happy to see you guys putting out videos again. hope you two can make it down in may to the mid am meet up.
GREAT video! And I'm SO happy that you're back to filming and uploading. Hope you are all happy and well and we're sending love your way from RichKat Ranch ♥
Thank you. I want mine to be browner so I might finish it on the comal. I think I'll press on a nice warm press and then let them puff and brown on a hot comal. Wish me luck!
BTW, these are great to make pot stickers too!
Good luck! That sounds like a great plan!
Thanks for sharing, I've never seen a cast iron one. 👍
Oh That's awesome. Congratulations.. now you know I'm going to have to get one of those.. lol. That's all we been eating instead of bread. Lol
I tried to figure out how to use, this makes more sense, I didn't get any instructions with mine. So thank you for this video, I am going to try this way,
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing this. I too was wondering if my cast iron press could be used this way.
Wonderful video!
I had to do a double take though: at 4:45 you actually didn’t flip it 😂 (you double flipped it so it ended up the same way)
This is awesome easy to make it and fresh yummy
That's awesome Jessica. You like making tacos and burritos.
We just bought one and a 'Keto' tortilla mix but haven't tried it yet. Wish us lotsa luck !!!
Great Video! I just got my Uno Casa 8" press from Amazon this morning, and wanted to go online to watch videos about making tortillas using a press, and I've never seen one used directly on a heat source. Genius!! My question is that I"m wondering if I should have bought the 10" size. Are there things you can do with a 10" press that you can't do with an 8"? Can you still make enchiladas and burritos with the smaller 8" size? Thank you for a great video, and the idea of putting the press directly on heat! Love it!
That is cool. I married into a Spanish family so I’m always getting good tortillas. 😂
I have that same press. Wish I had a gas stove. Thank you for sharing. Take care from Cape Cod Massachusetts ✌️🇺🇸❤️
Can't you use it on glass or coil stoves?
It's useless for flour tortillas. Hers can't puff up. Use a rolling pin and do it the correct way. No gas needed.
Fantastic video! And I'm a chef! Thanks very much.
Our pleasure!
Good idea. I think I would use the press just to smash the dough then transfer to an additional comal to keep the process going.
Love, love this.
I’ve had one for a year and haven’t used it yet 😅. This is exactly what I wanted to know. Will finally take it out of the box and use it now. Thanks for posting.
Four scores and 7 years ago, our fathers brought forth a new tortilla!
I’ve never seen anyone heat up a press. Usually, the press sits next to the comal (or skillet). Use a plastic or wax paper on both sides of the press, flatten to your liking and peel off the plastic. Cook the tortilla in the comal or skillet.
Yes we tried that first and that’s what we saw as well, but they shrunk up so bad and were to thick. When we did it this way they are perfect thickness and they don’t shrink!
You don’t “press” flour tortillas, you roll them out.
@@chaparra71 Exactly. She's trying to press flour tortillas the same way as corn. Probably some dumb TikTok hack she saw. Huge fail.
@@morrismonet3554where’s the fail? She said she’s aware of how how the press is normally supposed to be used. But for her in HER HOUSE this works. Her family likes it. I can’t wait to try it myself. Telling someone how to eat in their own home is just plain weird 😒
I bought the same press, about to try it for the first time (hence watching this video) and the instructions literally talk about heating the press.
I mean I'll probably just use it as a press without heating it (I only have an electric stove top and don't think it would work with that) but yeah, I'm pretty sure she's using it as intended.
You only press it Once. Peel it off and cook it till it blisters/bubbles, flip and cook for another 10 seconds. Do Not put the top down after initial pressing
We tried that and other methods and all shrunk really small. This way works great for us without shrinking!
Hi; Was wondering does your press have rubber feet underneath, I have a 10" cast iron press coming soon, but mine has rubber feet, I wonder if they would burn on the stove?> Thanks good video :)
No ours does not have rubber feet
Very cool
I was shopping for electric tortilla/roti presses but the prices aren’t great and I’m not sure how I feel about Tefft on. Then I thought, wait, I bet people are using the cast iron press on the stove! Yours was the first video that popped up.
*teflon,
That’s great well hopefully the video is helpful and you able to make things with yours as well!
EXACTLY what we were doing, not a fan of teflon and those roti makers seemed light duty.
I also read the directions and it seems you are supposed to cook on it... it's cast iron, so why wouldn't you? Right? 👌😊 thank you!! I have glass 🤞
Exactly!
I saw someone do this and was shocked! So sad... common sense isn't so common.
Thank you for reminding us how these tools work 🥰 God bless
I never thought of cook right on the press. I been using parchment paper then transfer to a pan then cook. I like your way better thank for video.
I thought the special thing about homemade tortillas flour or corn was them puffing up with air? That’s the Mexican method to produce perfect tortillas.
Thanks for ur idea ...I burnt my presser ...
Thank you very much.
The press is for corn tortillas. You just roll out the masa like you would pie dough and cook them in a dry hot pan. They should puff up and blister.
I swear I've seen one that's similar but you can flip it without opening, like a waffle iron.
Well, you did a good job. I guess didn’t to even know how to make a tortilla
Let it cook without the press down
Thank you! Has anyone used this method on a glass top stove? : )
Thanks for watching. I’m not sure if anyone has or not. I know we used to have a glass top stove and we used our cast iron on it all the time.
Yes there is a video out on TH-cam of a guy who used his press on his glass cooktop. Look up....Glen and friends tortilla hack! Towards the end he shows how he uses his press on glass top.
That is very cool. We will have to get us one of those. Looks like it does a good job on them. Where did Glen get the press from?
We purchased it on Amazon.
Thank you 😊
Your gluten has not developed enough, so they shrink.
Tortilla presses are for corn tortillas, NOT flour tortillas.
It works great for both thanks
Looking at your ceiling is odd and we cannot see the food….
Why, do you do it that way? Makes me feel that I am hanging upside down…
Cannot watch…
The best to you.🌮🌮
It's called a "tortilla press"; it's not a comal for making your tortillas. Also, you are not cooking the tortillas correctly.
It works great the way we use it as well. Thanks
Looks like way too much work to me never seen anybody do it that way
too much talking
C'mon, man. It's a woman.
And again another comment not needed or welcome thanks!
No . Press , open , LEAVE OPEN, flip tortilla, flip again til your liking
That’s not how you use a tortilla press 🤦♂️
But…
Don’t cook on the press. Use the plastic ziploc bags cut pe off. Lightly flower the testales before you press. Turn quarter turn and press 4 times. Then transfer to your comal.
You can use round silicone baking mats instead of plastic bags. They are heat resistant, reusable, and washable.
You're not supposed to cook with the press
It works great though and it’s just like using our regular cast iron pans!
Whats a tortilla? Can you tell my gringa wife what it is. 😂😂😂
This ain't it.
Does she know what tamales are?
senora, that is very dangerous in so many ways😮
I’m what ways is it dangerous cooking on cast iron over direct fire? We use cast iron pans the same way.
One word; LARD
Oh your tortillas are not cooked. 30-60 seconds per side cooking.
