Just a note, someone is confused on the corn tortilla part. You use the
press to make the tortilla and then "cook" them on a flat iron or in a cast
iron skillet. We always cooked them on those cast iron burner covers that
old stoves had on them. The stoves that have cast iron griddle in the
middle work good to.

lived in Baja

tvoivozhd---you can use a tortilla press, but it is entirely superflous---all the Mexicans and Indians I know make tortillas and chapati's by making doughballs with their hands, and flattening them either by hand or with a couple of small-diameter wood rollers, a rolling pin does fine too. Cook them on any hot surface, iron skillet, hot quarry tile, side of a Tandoori oven.
