can you use it to make flour tortillas?

I wouldn't since flour tortilla masa is a different consistency: it's more stretchy. I prefer to hand roll mine out. Suppose you could try and update the thread for anyone else who may have the same question.

Not really, you need a heated press for flour tortillas otherwise they shrink back into tiny circles when you open the press

You can use it to make flour tortillas but they come out very thick. The press can not make them as thin as really good handmade tortillas.

No, it won't work properly on the stove. You need to be able to handle it to press the tortilla's. I press the tortilla's between a sheet of aluminum foil and a sheet of plastic wrap. I pick it up with the aluminum foil and flip it on a hot cast iron pan to crisp up.

I would try it for tortillas. I don't think the taste would be a problem, but you may have to work with it to get the texture right.

I wouldn't recommend it for tortillas. I bought an actual press and even that couldn't produce nice, thin tortillas. Ended up using a rolling pin. Ended up never making tortillas again.

I use the whole grain to make pancakes and waffles. I don't believe they would make tortillas very well but I have not tried. I suppose you can make tortillas out of any flour. I'm just not sure. Sorry.

You can use it for anything you would use flour for. It is just a lot denser than regular flour so you must use it sparingly.

No, you generally cannot use any tortilla press for flour tortillas. They are too elastic to be pressed, and must be rolled out with something like a pin. Tortilla presses should only be used for corn tortillas, which can be made easily using Masa Harina (cornmeal with slaked lime), which is available in the ethnic/latino sections of most grocery stores.

Although I don't make tortillas, I don't see why it wouldn't be a good press. It's weighty and should work fine.

it can be used for pastry flour but I use it mainly for cake baking because in is a much finer flour than all purpose flour. Therefore cakes are lighter in texture when baking.

My wife has used it to easily make salsa, soup, green smoothies, and nut butter. She hasn't tried to make dough with it yet.

I am not sure about making tortillas, because I have never tried to make them on this device. Please know that should you commence experimenting with tortillas, they will look like waffles because of the design of the non-removable plates on the waffle cone maker.

No, because there is no way on earth for the tortillas to even stay on the baker. They will ALWAYS slide off and fall to the bottom of the stove. I tried, my friends tried, and none of us could get one tortilla to bake. I know I went through 80 fresh tortillas. Please, don't waste your money.

It is not well made, so I doubt it would make good flour. I do know that there are other mills that would do the job better.

Certainly! I've even made rolled cookies with it. Until it cools and hardens, the waffle can be shaped all sorts of ways. Experiment with the batter recipes--some are thicker than others and will make a stronger taco.

I don't recall if I got instructions but all you do is put the 10" flour tortilla and fit it inside the mold. Bake at 400o until golden brown. It works wonderful. I baked 90. It did take some time because I could only bake 12 at a time.
