Using an Electric Tortilla Press

This video shows how easy it is to use an electric tortilla press. First place the dough ball on the press, close the lid and push down on the pressing handle to flatten the dough. Then, lift the lid slightly to release the steam, next cook with the lid closed for 10 seconds, open the press and flip the tortilla then close and cook for 10 more seconds, move the tortilla to a cooling rack and press you next dough ball.

Why does it scream like that?

[TortillaPressStore]

@zuniga6412 As the dough is pressed between the hot plates it releases steam which escapes around the edges. That's what makes the screaming sound.

do you find hot pressing the dough is better? I think that is what the professional factory machines do. 

[TortillaPressStore]

@210482fmj Yes, heat definitely makes the job of flattening the dough easier. I've found the hot pressing method shown in the video to be quite effective.
