Why don't you go to the Gourmetsleuth website and read up a little on=20
tortillas? Lot of good info.

The Norpro's are aluminium anyway, I would want (have) a 7.25" cast iron =

model.

Anything bigger in diameter you cant peel off the press without ripping, =

breaking the handle on the alu-models.
There is a reason they don't come bigger than 7+"

And forget about pressing out flour tortillas, not with a household press=
=2E
They are rolled out using a pin.

The VillaWare Thingy cooks the tortillas, so you can press them out a=20
little bigger in diameter, although I have not used one and would not=20
want to. They might come out OK though if you have access to Mixtamal,=20
instead of making the dough out of Masa.
