WOW , that looks like an awesome design ! Great project : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Oh that is soooo much nicer than the chintzy aluminum one I have. Maybe I would make tortillas more often if I got to lay my hands on that each time!

Can it stand on the hinged edge when not in use? – I would want that visible in my kitchen all the time.

(on a completely different note – is everyone getting the sidebar advert for some sort of a tortilla bowl contraption or is it simply an ironic coincidence?)

Greg,

Great design and very nice Fit and Finish.

Favorited and added to my ‘To Do’ short list if you don’t mind me barrowing your design. ;-)

Greg, that is a super clean design well executed. Nicely done! Looks like it will be fun to use… now make some tortilla’s!

And Kay, yes I am seeing the same sidevert…internet advertising at its finest.

Super good job.
I need to make one.

Very well executed, I can see you left some space for the tortilla thickness….good job!

-- Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.

Nice job! That is cool!

That looks great! I made mine (see it in my projects) out of two 3/4” layers laminated cross grain on the advice of a couple of mexicans at the lumber yard. Mine is hickory and walnut. How well does yours work? The concern on mine was that the stiff tortilla dough would split the grain on the platten. ;})

Thanks to all for the comments. I am happy to report that it works at least as well as it looks. My only regret is that I hadn’t made one of these earlier. It takes less than a minute to mix up the dough and each one cooks for about a minute on each side in a hot dry skillet or griddle. They are so easy and taste so much better than the store bought tortillas that I can’t believe I’ve been putting up with store bought all these years.
