Editorial Review: Product Description: The history of flat bread goes back centuries and various cultures have created their own distinct variations on this theme. Experiencing warm, fresh flat bread, whether it's a soft tortilla, an Indian chapati, or a Chinese moo shoo, offers a very primal satisfaction. This appliance allows you to make your own flat bread very simply and easily, with a minimum of fuss, and a maximum of pleasure. Amazon.com Review: Built for power, speed, control, and ease, this 1000-watt appliance flattens and bakes 10-inch tortilla wraps, pitas, chapati, roti, and other flatbreads. Key to its performance are heavyweight die-cast aluminum top and bottom cooking plates that quickly and uniformly distribute heat so there are no hot spots to scorch breads. The plates are coated with nonstick material for easy release and simple wipe-clean convenience. An automatic temperature control takes the guesswork out of cooking, and a light signals when the flatbread maker has been heated to the proper temperature. A cord wrap reduces clutter, and the appliance can stand on end for storage. --Fred Brack Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I'm GLUTEN FREE and won't live without one!I bought my first VillaWare Tortilla maker almost ten years ago. My daughter and I are gluten free (no wheat allowed) so we really missed a soft flour tortilla and wanted to make our own. This press works great! It did take me a few trials to get both the technique and recipe down. I've been using it daily to make my daughter a fresh tortilla sandwich wrap every morning for her school lunch. We also use them for tacos, fajitas, egg salad, salmon salad, chicken salad, sloppy joes, deli sandwiches, ...

The negative reviews primarily come from people who do not follow instructions very well. I have had beautiful results and can now make tortilla shells whenever my family wants! I plan to try other flat bread recipes next and can't wait! Rating:  - Good productIt creates good well rounded tortillas (chapatis) very quickly and efficiently. However, they don't roast properly on the maker itself, so I have to roast them separately on another skillet. Rating:  - Definitely not what I thoughtI was able to make tortillas with this but the insides of them were very tough. The outside was fine but the inside was like plasti-rubber. The quality of the product construction and materials is not that great due to using plastic where ever possible. After a few uses, one of the plastic tabs used to apply the initial pressing pressure has become loose. I fear this will break soon. Rating: - Very convenient, but lacking authenticityThe tortilla press is really great to have and the quality is quite good. The only bummer is that our whole wheat tortillas seem to be lacking that blistered effect,and they are a little more "spongy"... almost like the press needs to get hotter! We will keep it and use it often, but I am sure we will resort to our cast iron cooking technique when we want a more authentic effect. |
