Product Description
The history of flat bread goes back centuries and various cultures have created their own distinct variations on this theme. Experiencing warm, fresh flat bread, whether it's a soft tortilla, an Indian chapati, or a Chinese moo shoo, offers a very primal satisfaction. This appliance allows you to make your own flat bread very simply and easily, with a minimum of fuss, and a maximum of pleasure.
Amazon.com Review
Built for power, speed, control, and ease, this 1000-watt appliance flattens and bakes 10-inch tortilla wraps, pitas, chapati, roti, and other flatbreads. Key to its performance are heavyweight die-cast aluminum top and bottom cooking plates that quickly and uniformly distribute heat so there are no hot spots to scorch breads. The plates are coated with nonstick material for easy release and simple wipe-clean convenience. An automatic temperature control takes the guesswork out of cooking, and a light signals when the flatbread maker has been heated to the proper temperature. A cord wrap reduces clutter, and the appliance can stand on end for storage. --Fred Brack

 This is a great product July 31, 2008
First let me just say that there is no way to make the large tortillas on the front page with the recipe in the book. I use about 3C of flour, and divide the dough balls into 10 not 12, and they make really large tortillas. I made over 90 tortillas the first week I had the machine. It is quite simple the instructions and the warnings are all in the book. Put the rounded dough in the machine, flatten it until you hear the steam escape, rotate it, flatten it until you hear the steam escape repeat this until the dough stops expanding. With a little patience and trial and error you will have great tortillas in no time. This is a must have if you want fresh home made flour tortillas with out all of the rolling pin hassles. Thanks for a great product!
 BAD BUY- Not a chapathi maker July 24, 2008
If your like me who is looking for a chapathi maker - then please do not buy this - This can make out hard baked - Craker/ Papad like roti/ chapathi. Wouldnt know much about making tortilla on this though.
 Worked very well for me July 4, 2008
Last night I was trying to make corn tortillas by hand for the first time. I've made tons of flour tortillas, but the difference is like night and day. I ended up just giving up because the dough was sticking to everything and I couldn't even roll it flat. I put the dough away to try out the new press and made some flour tortillas instead.
I got the press about an hour ago, and just finished making about 10 gorgeous, perfectly flat corn tortillas. They taste pretty good, too. Take that, corn tortillas!
You definitely need to add a little more water than seems "right" for the mix. I added a bit of water and some oil as well because they were sticking to the top plate. They peeled off easily with a spatula and it didn't cause problems, but I get the feeling that's not normal.
Makes amazingly thin roti/tortillas quickly without sticking July 3, 2008
I have used another tortilla maker before this and it had only one hot plate and the tortillas used to stick to one of its place. Making tortillas was a test of patience with a thick and nonuniform thickness tortillas coming out after 45 seconds to 1 minute of hard work. With this tortilla maker it only takes 5 seconds and a roti/tortillas as thin as a professional can make comes out. I'll definitely recommend this product for anyone.
Does the work. Makes decent chapatis. July 2, 2008
Is a great product for the price. Does the Chapati / roti in a fairly consistent manner. May not be the best Chapatis you will get out of it, but I would not let best get in the way of better!! I can tell you this much, it certainly speeds up the entire process.. I make 15 chapatis in less than 10 minutes now. Would have given it a 5 star, if it could bake it properly all the way through... it bakes like a tortilla.. and for indian chapatis you need a bit more heat to turn it a little brown... so i transfer it to a heated griddle next and let it turn a bit brown (less than 20 secs).
