Prue’s World Cast Iron Tortilla Press

Love Mexican food? Adore a filled tortilla? Ever made your own? If the answers are yes, yes, and no – then now’s a good time to start making your own tortillas with the help of our Prue’s World Cast Iron Tortilla Press. It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s fun – and home-made ones taste so much better and fresher than shop-bought.

Meet the press

Comprising two cast iron plates and a cast iron handle, this sturdy press is so easy to use. Once you’ve made your corn or flour tortilla dough (there’s a recipe for flour tortillas included), divide it into smaller balls – then place a dough ball in the middle of the base plate, bring the hinged top plate over to cover the ball, then use the handle to push the heavy plates together and flatten the dough into a perfectly round, thin tortilla ready for turning into tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas, fajitas… you could even cut your tortillas into triangles and make your own tortilla chips.

It’s also perfect for making rotis, chapatis and mini pizza bases when Mexican’s not on the menu.

Handle is detachable for easier storage.

Heat-resistant to 250°C.

Hand wash only.

About our Prue’s World range

We tell anyone who’ll listen – we love to cook and can think of nothing better than finding creative, authentic kitchen tools that make cooking a joyful experience. So when Prue Leith approached us to collaborate on an exciting new range inspired by her trips around the world, we thought all of our birthdays had come at once!

Prue has been everywhere. She’s had an amazing life of cookery and adventure, and her culinary voyages have been a huge influence in this range’s creation. As well as being a passionate chef, founder of Leiths School of Food and Wine, TV personality, restaurateur and writer, she’s a globetrotter with a love of foods from afar, and the cookware in her own kitchen has been cherry-picked from her trips around the world.

A self-confessed Lakeland fan, Prue invited us into her home and we were like children in a sweet shop, exploring her vast, eclectic cookware kit for inspiration. Her wonderful stories behind each piece, as well as Prue’s exacting guidance, has resulted in a range that’s as interesting and colourful as Prue herself.

Prue says “I want everyone to experience the pleasure and satisfaction of producing food to share with others.” Prue tested every item herself to ensure everything worked as it should, and if something wasn’t quite right, she helped us make it perfect.

Made from attractive crushed bamboo zebra wood, ceramics and durable metals, everything in Prue’s global cookware collection is practical enough for everyday use, and will work brilliantly for all of your own culinary adventures. Accented with a pop of vibrant red, they make fabulous gifts for creative cooks, too.
