From America's Test Kitchen Season 14: Spiced-Up Cuban Cuisine
WINNER
Rated as HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
La Mexicana Tortilladora de Madera Barnizada/Mesquite Tortilla Press - $64.95
> By far the largest press, this wooden behemoth caught the eye of every cook in the kitchen. Lovely appearance aside, this machine was easy to work, though its heavy plates can be a bit intimidating at first. A wooden sliver on the top plate keeps tortillas from getting too thin and also keeps thickness consistent. The 14-inch arm on this press gives great leverage, but it arrives detached and requires some assembly.

Imusa Cast Iron Tortilla Press - $23.99
> This product is lighter and more compact than our winner but still has sufficient heft to make pressing easy. The handle arrives detached, so there is some assembly required (though the instructions are clear and easy to follow). At first, the handle was a bit stiff, but it loosened with use, and the ample surface area kept dough from squeezing out the sides.

Norpro Cast Aluminum Tortilla Press - $15.20
> Compact and lightweight, this press required more finesse when pressing since the user applies all the pressure with little to no help from the weight of the plate. At first it’s easy to under- or overpress the tortillas, but most testers got the hang of it after only a few tries. If you are willing to put up with a bit of a learning curve, this model is a fine choice. It comes preassembled and is easy to store.

NOT RECOMMENDED
The Latin Products Plastic Tortilla Press - $13.99
> Both copies of this model that we tested were warped and produced uneven tortillas. When stacked, these tortillas wobbled, with their centers clearly thicker than the sides and ranging from 0.82 to 3.01 millimeters thick across a single tortilla. While this product was easy to use and came preassembled, the poor quality of the tortillas canceled out any redeeming qualities.
