Do the tortillas come out an even thickness - exactly parallel, or do they come out wedge-shaped (thicker near the handle, & thinner near the hinge)?

Just sure you don't put too big of a ball of dough on there and you'll be fine.

You have to squeeze the handle down and then turn the tortilla 90 degrees then squeez again. No tortilla press would do an even tortilla on one single press. This tortilla press is awesome because it blind cooks your flour tortilla, the you finished them on a skillet.

Yes they do -- just don't try to max out the real estate. Also, try this: Instead of a ball, make a cylinder of dough with a ratio of circumference by 1 and length by 3 (a weenie). Lay it down parallel to the hinge and handle and press. Not exactly round but more even.

Shape and quality. The Pro has sloped sides like a regular skillet so if you have popeye arms, you can get a good chef's flip. Honestly, it does help when using the edges to mix and move the food aroun in my opinion. I dislike the straight sides. I think there may be something different in the grade as well because these seasoned absolutely beautifully and fast. Love mine!

One side has 1/4 inch ridges. The other side is flat with 2 circles about pancake size that take up most of the surface. Neither the ridges or the circles are very deep, about the depth of the spatula that comes with the grill.

mine all have long, straight handles, but, they do stay cool.........I love this cookware!

They aren't completely flat but they're not much of a spoon either. They're just slightly curved. I was looking for more of a spoon-type spatula for scooping, these don't really do that. Hope that helps!

I don't think it's a problem - that's where the tortilla goes... :) Maybe if you wanted super-thin tortillas it might be an issue, but it makes 1-2mm thick ones with no problem.

Carefully press the tortillas into the pan, they may spring back a little but with a little persistence you can get them to form to the inner sides. Very yummy and worth the little extra effort. Just be careful as to not break the shells while attempting to fit into the form. A little hanging over the edge is OK, this part may become a little crispier but tastes fine. If they break while attempting to fit to the inner sides all is not lost, but they do not look as perfectly formed but will work just fine none the less. I used to use soup bowls and draped on the outside for baking but these handy nonstick shell makers are the perfect answer to making great taco salad shell in the restaurant style.JAG Carefully press the tortillas into the pan, they may spring back a little but with a little persistence you can get them to form to the inner sides.

Yes, but you'll have a small portion of the tortilla that isn't crispy. And you'll have about 2 inches of tortilla. I prefer 8 inch.

It's the same thickness as a DVD case (no ruler, sorry!) with a channel along the edge to catch juices. Plus a handle to hold it! Best I've ever had.

yes the cutting board and trays lay flush. not perfectly, but close enough. the granite we have is standard thickness, 2cm.

yes, the sides are straight... they do not angle out (I assume that's what you're asking, correct?) They're a little shallow for what I'm used to but other than that, should be great for layered cakes!

I compared the thickness to a Solo disposable drinking cupand it's about the same. (Thicker than the rim of a soda bottle and thinner than the rim on a wine bottle) Hope that helps. :) I was just hoping they were a little thinner when I ordered them.The quality is very nice though, ran through dishwasher, NP.

Mine were straight, but they came in computer cable packaging so I sent them back. Maybe the curved ones are actually food safe.

Not positive but, If they're not the same they're almost exact. Love,love, love them! I spray letter with non stick cooking spray first and they come out so easily :-)

Yes there is a groove on the lid that fits the handle when turned. The containers can be perfectly stacked without any bumps.

We have had no issues with bending handles. The cups still nestle together perfectly, the handles are all straight and perfectly aligned.

The undersides are, indeed, somewhat concave, though the topside is correspondingly convex. The set has a nice heft as is, so I feel making then otherwise would cause them to be too heavy. Knives, however, are convex both sides & are heavier. Hope I was of help.
