Definitions

A tortilla press.

Examples

“Modern tortilladoras are made from cast iron and painted silver to prevent rusting.”

“With outer shells removed, the corn kernels are ready to be ground into masa, just add water. Once the masa is thick and doughy, all you need is a tortilladora and some heat to finish your delicious homemade tortillas.”

“I kept getting overmatched by the basic sequence: roll out my masa ball; flatten it, leaning really hard on the lever of tortilladora press; smooth my resulting mutant tortilla by hand three times between sheets of plastic, flipping it once; unpeel the sheets of plastic; swiftly drape them over the tortilladora with one hand while with the other holding my "tortilla" (torn-edged, ugly) without crinkling it, then lay it gently—slap too hard, air bubbles will form—on the comal so it lands perfectly straight.”
