Sustainability
The Tortilla Press Kit is a great example of sustainable craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Each press is made in Mexico using recycled cast iron, often sourced from old Singer sewing machines and other repurposed metal, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimizing waste. The durable construction means this press is built to last a lifetime, promoting reuse over replacement. It’s coated in a vibrant enamel finish that not only prevents rust but eliminates the need for disposable or short-lived kitchen tools.
Paired with a handmade servilleta napkin—a reusable alternative to paper towels—this kit supports both environmental sustainability and traditional artisan communities.

How to use
Using the Tortilla Press Kit is simple and fun, whether you're hosting a taco night or making fresh tortillas for dinner. Start by mixing equal parts masa harina (corn flour) and water until you get a soft dough. Roll the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Line the tortilla press with parchment paper or a cut plastic bag, place a dough ball in the center, and press down firmly. Rotate and press again for an even shape.
Cook the tortilla on a hot skillet for about 1 minute on each side until it's cooked through and slightly browned. Once ready, keep your tortillas warm and soft in the included handmade servilleta napkin, just like they do in traditional Mexican kitchens.
