This review is from: Brentwood TS126 Stainless Steel Tortilla Maker (Kitchen)
It came with some of the worst directions I have ever gotten with an appliance. Come to think about I think even worse then the directions that come with the build it yourself furniture 🙂 . Basically how to turn it on and how to care for it but not how to use it to make tortilla’s.
I googled for making tortilla’s in an electric tortilla maker and found the website for The Tortilla Press Store. There I found EXCELLENT directions and a recipe for gluten-free tortilla’s that turned out great. The first couple definitely were learning experiences but after that I got the hang of it quickly. I did find that mine seemed to turn out best when my batter was like cake batter or thick pancake batter. The recipe also called for 12 seconds per side and I found this made mine too hard. I reduced it to 5-7 seconds per side. As I made them, I made adjustments to my technique. I have tried a number of gluten free tortilla recipes over the past two years without a tortilla maker and they just never turn out as well as I would like them to- this electric maker hands down gave me a nice soft, tender and thin tortilla that everyone enjoyed. I no longer need to roll out sticky gf dough between parchment. No more tough break apart tortilla’s. The major downfalls: Bad directions. No recipes Though the texture is great, they look more like crepes(no nice brown spots or bubbling) This makes small sized tortilla’s(though we really don’t need to eat jumbo sized tortilla’s anyway)
The major positives: Great texture saved me a ton of time. Happy Family very affordable no need for rolling very little mess compared to rolling and cooking on the stove top.
I suspect that depending on which recipe and which flours you use, you will have to adjust to your liking. Hands down though I am very glad I took a chance on this little gadget.
Now to see how long it will last- For the price if I get 2 years out of it I will be happy.

I make hybrid corn and flour tortillas every week for my breakfast tacos. Once you explode a couple of dough balls (which is fun) and figure out which temp works best with your recipe, it works really great. No more rolling pin, frying pan and hours of work, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Great for Gluten Free, but Directions Were Lacking and No Recipes.,
