Made from heavyweight aluminum, it is sturdy, durable, and built for effortless performance. The strong handle offers smooth leverage to press dough into perfectly uniform rounds, avoiding uneven or doughy tortillas. A time-saving essential for home cooks, this tortilla press makes it simple to prepare fresh tortillas for wraps, tostadas, quesadillas, burritos, or tortilla chips, whether for everyday meals or festive holiday gatherings. It is also perfect for crafting other flatbreads like pita bread, Caribbean roti, focaccia, moo shoo pancakes, mini pie or tart shells, pastry crusts, and more. Safe and fun to use with kids, it encourages creativity in the kitchen while simplifying dough preparation. To use, line the press with plastic wrap, wax paper, or parchment paper to keep dough from sticking, then press gently with the handle to create griddle-ready rounds. Made from heavyweight aluminum for strength and durability, this tortilla press delivers consistent results for flour, corn, whole grain, low carb, and gluten free tortillas. Hand wash in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly before storing. Brought to you by HIC, a third-generation family owned and operated company in the USA since 1957. Review: You Can't Go Wrong - We love Mexican food, especially tacos. We used a corn tortilla recipe that I got off of the internet, which was 2 cups of masa herena, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. oil (optional) and about 1 1/2 cups very warm water. You blend all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl by hand until the mixture is the consistency of cookie or play dough. If it the mixture is crumbly and won't hold together in one ball it's too dry, add more water a tsp. at a time. If the mixture sticky and sticks to you hands, then it's too wet, add more masa. Once you have the mixture to the right consistency, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest on the counter for at least 30 minutes. Do not put it in the refrigerator. While the tortilla dough is resting, take a standard Zip Lock sandwich bag and cut off, cutting as close as you can the zipper part. Then take a sharp knife and split out the rest of the sandwich bag, so you are left with 2 equal size pieces of plastic. You may use a quart or gallon size bag and cut them down, but the sandwich size works best. The sandwich size bag once done as directed, is the exact size that will fit the tortilla press and the sandwich size bag is more pliable than the larger bags, which makes for easier handling. Once your dough has rested, preheat a Comal, which is what we use or a large cast iron skillet or griddle to medium high heat (no oil, use dry). While you're preheating your cooking vessel, take the dough and form it into balls about the size of golf balls and set aside, covered with some damp paper towels to keep them from drying out. Then open the tortilla press and take one piece of the plastic and place it on the plastic on the bottom of the press, placing it slightly closer to the hinge side and then cover it with the other piece of plastic and press it down a little with the heel of your hand to form the ball into a small disc and then close the press and push down until it forms about a 6" diameter disc. Then very carefully peel each piece of plastic from the newly formed raw tortilla and in one motion flip it over onto the preheated Comal and cook about 30-45 seconds on each side or until it puffs up or the edges start to lift. Do not over cook or it will be stiff and you won[t be able to bend it for tacos or roll it for enchiladas. Immediately place the cooked tortillas in a tortilla warmer or on a plate and cover with a dish towel to keep warm. This recipe makes about 12 -15 six inch tortillas. I will never buy store bought tortillas again. There is no comparison. The home made are so much more tender and the taste is far superior to the ones you buy in the store. Also, these are so easy and fun to make. The tortilla press works perfectly and is of high quality. Note! Hand wash only. Placing this or any other aluminum product in the dishwasher will ruin the finish. Review: Great little press, lightweight and inexpensive - Well I love it. I've used it to make corn tortillas and cassava flour tortillas. It does press slightly thinner on one side than the other, but I have a habit of pressing it partway, then turning the dough around and pressing again so it ends up being quite uniform all over. This is very quick, because I place the dough between two halves of a plastic sandwich baggie. I cut the sides of the baggie so that the two halves are only attached at the bottom, then put the dough ball between the two layers of plastic before I use the press. That keeps the press clean and makes it easy to pick up the tortilla. ## Features - HIC Kitchen Tortilla Press: Creates 6-inch homemade tortillas and flatbreads with a consistent thickness that cooks evenly; great for everyday meals and holiday entertaining - Durable Heavyweight Aluminum: Made from sturdy aluminum for durability and long-lasting use; measures 8.5 x 6.375 x 2.125-inches; makes 6-inch tortillas with uniform thickness every time - Effortless Leverage: Sturdy handle provides smooth, even pressure for pressing dough into perfect rounds; no need to roll by hand; fun and safe for cooking with kids - Versatile Uses: Ideal for flour, corn, whole grain, low carb, and gluten free tortillas; great for pita bread, Caribbean roti, focaccia, moo shoo pancakes, mini pie or tart shells, and more - Easy To Use And Clean: Line press with plastic wrap or parchment for easy release; simply hand wash in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly; instructions included for foolproof results ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V6ZK5I | | Best Sellers Rank | #269,714 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #198 in Taco Holders | | Bowl Material | Aluminum | | Brand | HIC Kitchen | | Capacity | 6 ounces | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,398) | | Date First Available | August 16, 2007 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00781723431721 | | Included Components | Tortilla Press | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Is Dishwasher Safe | No | | Is Microwaveable | No | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Item model number | 43172 | | Manufacturer | HIC-Harold Import Company | | Material | Aluminum | | Number of Pieces | 14 | | Pattern | Solid | | Product Care Instructions | Hand wash in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly | | Product Dimensions | 8.25"W x 2.13"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Making Tortillas | | Shape | Round | | Size | Tortilla Press | | Special Feature | Manual | | Specific Uses For Product | Tortilla | | Style | Tortilla Press | | UPC | 803990192737 781723431721 778295103194 | ## Product Details - **Bowl Material:** Aluminum - **Brand:** HIC Kitchen - **Color:** Silver - **Number of Pieces:** 14 - **Style:** Tortilla Press ## Images ![HIC Kitchen Taco Making Tools, Tortilla Press, Heavyweight Aluminum, Forms 6-Inch Tortillas and Artisan Flatbreads - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YG-Nwt8oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You Can't Go Wrong *by B***D on February 12, 2014* We love Mexican food, especially tacos.

I've used it to make corn tortillas and cassava flour tortillas. It does press slightly thinner on one side than the other, but I have a habit of pressing it partway, then turning the dough around and pressing again so it ends up being quite uniform all over. This is very quick, because I place the dough between two halves of a plastic sandwich baggie. I cut the sides of the baggie so that the two halves are only attached at the bottom, then put the dough ball between the two layers of plastic before I use the press. That keeps the press clean and makes it easy to pick up the tortilla. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid tortilla press *by M***2 on May 9, 2015* I should maybe give myself 4 stars (or less) on this one and not the press. The press itself works great and is a good value. It has solid construction, is easy to use, and cleans up quickly. And, despite some of the reviews, it is NOT hard to press down - at all. My 10 year old can make perfectly flat tortillas with zero effort or struggle. My only complaint is that I have had to use parchment paper to make my tortillas, as they stick horribly to the metal. Again, I kind of figured this going in, but it is a bit of a pain. Side note - plastic wrap was a total mess, but the parchment works very well - I cut mine in half width-wise to conserve paper (and you could really reuse it if you had to or are on a really tight budget). I may try spraying it with a non-stick pan spray to see if I can avoid the paper, but I'm also not a fan of all the chemicals in those products. ## Frequently Bought Together - HIC Kitchen Tortilla Press, Forms 6-Inch Tortillas - King Arthur Organic Masa Harina Flour, 2 lb (Pack of 1) - Finely Ground White Corn for Soft Homemade Tortillas - WANTan (set of 200)Parchment Paper Baking Circles 8 Inch Diameter, Baking Paper Liners for Baking Cakes, Cooking, Dutch Oven, Air Fryer, Cheesecakes, Tortilla Press --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/2127150-hic-kitchen-taco-making-tools-tortilla-press-heavyweight-aluminum-forms](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/2127150-hic-kitchen-taco-making-tools-tortilla-press-heavyweight-aluminum-forms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
