PRESSING DOUGH
CAUTION: Excessive pressure can cause structural damage,
voiding the machine warranty!
WARNING:
Make all adjustments while press is open. Adjusting the
thickness while under pressure will result in damage to the
press.
4. Lightly lubricate the lower platen with olive oil, food/cooking oil or other
food release lubricant.
NOTE
: Due to the sticky nature of corn tortillas, pressing works best placing
the dough ball between two sheets of parchment paper.
5. Place your preformed dough ball on the lower platen and add a small
amount of your food lubricant to the top of the dough ball.
Do not add
flour or dust with flour.
6. Pull down the handle all the way, applying pressure, until it stops.
7. After the designated time has elapsed (generally, 2-3 seconds for
room temperature dough, raise the handle all the way up to the open
position.
TIP:
Dough balls at room temperature gives you the best results.
8. Remove your flattened dough. For best results, finish the tortillas by
heating them on a tortilla warmer set to 425°F - 450°F for 15-20 seconds
on each side.
9. Move on/off switch to “OFF” when you are finished using the press
for the day. This will turn power off to the entire machine.
