Product Description
The history of flat bread goes back centuries and various cultures have created their own distinct variations on this theme. Experiencing warm, fresh flat bread, whether it's a soft tortilla, an Indian chapati, or a Chinese moo shoo, offers a very primal satisfaction. This appliance allows you to make your own flat bread very simply and easily, with a minimum of fuss, and a maximum of pleasure.
Amazon.com Review
Built for power, speed, control, and ease, this 1000-watt appliance flattens and bakes 10-inch tortilla wraps, pitas, chapati, roti, and other flatbreads. Key to its performance are heavyweight die-cast aluminum top and bottom cooking plates that quickly and uniformly distribute heat so there are no hot spots to scorch breads. The plates are coated with nonstick material for easy release and simple wipe-clean convenience. An automatic temperature control takes the guesswork out of cooking, and a light signals when the flatbread maker has been heated to the proper temperature. A cord wrap reduces clutter, and the appliance can stand on end for storage. --Fred Brack

 Very convenient, but lacking authenticity November 11, 2008
Josie Hancock (Mesa, Arizona USA)
The tortilla press is really great to have and the quality is quite good. The only bummer is that our whole wheat tortillas seem to be lacking that blistered effect,and they are a little more "spongy"... almost like the press needs to get hotter! We will keep it and use it often, but I am sure we will resort to our cast iron cooking technique when we want a more authentic effect.
 Excellent Product October 28, 2008
Raghunandan Mamidala
I had seen all reviews for this product before purchase, some people felt this wasn't good some people said this excellent. But what i found was this is excellent product but you need to learn to use it before getting results.
To get best results you need to make dough very soft if you are using a dough maker you need to do nothing more. If dough is not soft the tortillos or what ever you are making will break and will not grow in size as you keep pressing.When pressing to make tortillo bigger do not press more if you hear loud hissing sound that means tortillo is breaking, stop for couple of second and press again.
I made atleast 5 to 6 unsucessful attempts before i learned to use it. All the best if choose to buy the product it was worth the money for me
Useful as a Roti presser October 24, 2008

I enquired few of my friends who bought this item from amazon.
all of them using this as a roti presser. For pressing roti's this is best option. If you want to make rotis also with this then it is not a good item to have. I press rotis and move it to the pan and heat it. If you use this machine to heat the rotis, it will be tough to eat them , them become dry.
Still this is reducing the pressing job. Also you get big rotis 10'. The dough should be very soft when pressing, otherwise becomes hard.
Shipment prompt from amazon.
You get out of it what you put into it October 17, 2008

I hesitated to write a review as reading the other reviews pretty much sums it up. The unit is well made and reasonably priced. I have yet to make a bad tortilla. You simply need to follow the instructions. I am very happy with this purchase and continue to believe that Amazon is the best place to buy.
like the person says, it's all about the recipe October 8, 2008

I've been using these for 25 years, and they work well. Ignore the directions and experiment til you get the right masa/lime juice/water mixture; it only takes a few tries. I'm buying my third one because the handle broke on some too-thick wet masa. I only use this for corn tortillas.
PS I have no idea what the "griifin" thing is about.
