Can I use just the press and not the heat? I want to make many rotis at one time and then cook them later.

You will not be able to make thin roties and will need to use more pressure. You may try this - after heating , if you make a quicj press, you will get thin rotis which are not fully cooked. Keep that in plastic bags and later take it and heat it on a pan and then on flames to fully cook it.

Absolutely. After mixing the flour with the wet ingredients it should rest if possible for 15 min approx. This allows the flour to absorb all the moisture and that makes it less sticky to press. I use heavy plastic (cut from freezer baggies) on both sides and just peel off and toss on hot cast iron flat pan. Every dough I have tried comes out great.

I have both pieces and they work well together. Hint: when the frying pan is heating, lay the press in the empty pan to heat right along with the pan. Then, when you add the food, it will grill on both sides. We grill mostly vegetables but it is great for Panini sandwiches, meat etc.

Yes, I believe you can. I've made cookies using one of the tips that look like churros but they were baked not fried. Should work out fine. Love, love, love this press. My old one self-destructed from lots of use. Hope this helps

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.

I've not needed to only use one side. If the 2nd one isn't needed, refrigerate it & microwave it layer.

yes, you can saute things in the cooker before actually using it as a pressure cooker. you can evenbrown meat in it.

You really don't need it. Set the temp w/left button and time w/right button. There is nothing to assemble and it cooks great and in less time.

No you do not want to do that. And since you normally make a sugary syrup before you flambe' you need sides on the pan anyway. Secondly, you make a batch of crepes first, then you flame them, often 3 or 4 in a pan at he same time.

You can but honestly I never have had to. Everything has come out moist and perfect. The cooking times in the booklet that comes with it are right on the mark

Yes you can use just one side and do one loaf, or even several smaller loafs by doing two or more on each side (Each loaf will be much smaller and cooking times will be less) Enjoy.

I don't understand why you would have to "cure or pre-cure" the press. It is not heated up like a cast iron skillet. I did not cure or pre cure mine (but used the plastic bag because I am gluten free) and my flours respond differently. In any case it worked fine.

You can, but you don't need to. Once the pan is seasoned, simple hot water will do fine.

You can but it is not easy. Lots of working with the edge of the iron. Ideal for pressing sheets and linens. Large flat surfaces are the perfect niche

Yes, but it doesn't cook Roti the way it should. I will not recommend if you are thinking about buying this to make Roti.

Short answer: Yep.Longer answer: Yep. Just keep the heat on medium-low, and wait for the pan to heat up.

Yes you can if you use the correct cultures. Best to let it make in the Yogotherm 8hrs so you have a good thickness. I love my Yogotherm!
