Proper Care for Your Tortilla Press: Essential Cleaning and Maintenance Guide

Crafting warm, mouthwatering tortillas, your Mexican tortilla press is a kitchen friend. Let's make sure it keeps in perfect form! Wipe the plates with a wet towel after every use; stay away from strong soaps. A little scrape with a plastic spatula does magic for tough dough. Particularly if it is cast iron, completely dry it to stop corrosion.

For cast iron models especially, think about a mild seasoning with cooking oil every few months to clean and care for your press properly. This maintains it smooth and builds a protective coating. Store your press somewhere dry, free from dampness. Should you find any loose screws, carefully tighten them.

Your tortilla will taste years of flawlessly pressed if you give it some attention. This is a straightforward approach to respect the customs and savor handcrafted excellence.
