Easily one of the most worthwhile kitchen gadgets. They don't take up much space.
No idea why you'd want cast iron though, never had a problem with aluminum and it's much lighter, should be more durable, and far cheaper than this product.
The hinge means things smoosh unevenly, like a wedge shape. You only get away with it for tortillas because they are so very thin. For burgers, even thin smash burgers, a tortilleria would suck.
And the main point of smash burgers is to smash them into the pan so that the meat on the bottom gets good contact with the hot surface. Pre-smashing them before putting them onto the hot surface largely defeats the purpose.
"Weak metal is a single-tasker"
wtf are they talking about.
How is aluminum "weak", and how tf does the metal it's made of make it a "single tasker"? it's literally a tortilla press of course it's a single tasker
Since the press works a bit unevenly you can press once then rotate the tortilla 180 degrees and press again. This will give you flat tortillas.
Do not press very hard. Cast iron is brittle and you can break the handle from too much force. Because this is cast iron the top plate is heavy and you don't need to press very hard.
This is not for heating tortillas or cooking them. You press them on this then cook them on a comal/griddle. I've used lodge cast iron and carbon steel griddles/comals. If you have a Debuyer carbon steel crepe pan that works well too.
