If you are tired of buying tortillas from the market, which have usually been frozen and are full of preservatives, or fed up wasting money at the local tortilleria, it is probably time to start making tortillas in your own home. It is not difficult to make fresh, thin tortillas in the the comfort of your own kitchen area. Save your money and spend money on a tortilla press which you'll use time after time. But is a cast aluminum, wooden, or cast iron tortilla press the very best?

All three types work to make tortillas, and are all different in their very own way. But the perfect one for pressing tortillas easy each time would have to be the cast iron tortilla press.

A wooden tortilla press with a pretty finish looks very nice sitting on the kitchen countertop. However, they are generally very big in size and a working surface of 8 inches is normally approximately 11 or 12 inches in total length and much bigger than a cast iron tortilla press which is usually 6 or 7 inches in length. This makes them very difficult to put away due to their larger size. Also, most are made out of pine, a softer wood, and hard wood like oak, maple, and mesquite tend to be expensive.

A cast aluminum press are significantly lighter and are easy to use. They also are less expensive than the wooden and cast iron tortilla press. But being that they are a lot lighter in weight, more pressure has to be applied when used. And regrettably it's not hard to bust an aluminum press by applying too much pressure when pressing tortillas.

The cast iron tortilla press is heavier and is similar to the aluminum one in size. It is considerably stronger and much less likely to get broken. It's weight, around 6 pounds, makes it easier to press tortillas since it won't move around and provides more leverage for the user. So the more leverage that you can use, the easier it will be to press tortillas, particularly for pressing lots of them. In terms of the price, they normally cost a little bit more than the aluminum and less than the wooden press.

As for choosing the best of all of them, it would have to be the cast iron tortilla press.
