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

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

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

I love mine. The thickness really depends on the batter. I made a dry batch and they were thicker and one that was moister & they were thinner. Hopefully this helps. I am so glad that I bought it!

These are flat. It works better than angled ones when you need to bust something loose. I have both styles and prefer these.

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.

I have not used it for tortillas, but use it for chapattis which are similar but made from whole wheat flower. I have not had any trouble with them sticking together. The stoneware warmer is wonderful, keeps the chapattis warm and is very attractive to have on the table or around the stove where I store it waiting for me to make the next batch of chapattis. You will enjoy this well made stoneware.

They are slightly tapered. They nest inside of each other. You have to buy Wilton's decorator preferred pans to get pans that are 100% straight. I have a review posted. If you cannot find the decorator preferred pans, buy the Parrish Magic Line (sometimes just listed as Magic Line). They are completely straight sided for cake decorating. If you watch sometimes they are a better price than the Wilton. Their prices also fluctuate alot.

They are pretty straight. There is a slight curve, but I made a layered carrot cake with them and it turned out pretty well.

I would imagine so they do not appear to be hand shaped. Either way we were very pleased with them. We were used to hand made tortillas which we no longer have access too any longer. Have ordered these more than once and plan to continue as long as avail. from Amazon. Oh, by the way these freeze well. I use my Food Saver machine and package in smaller one day portions. Have had some frozen up to 3 months with no problem. Hope this helps you, they are good.

Just the bottom heats up. You must flatten the ball of dough to get size/desired thickness & then after a short bit, then open & turn the tortilla over to cook other side & properly. The top just reflects the heat from the bottom.

Yes the sides are straight and the corners square. Very good for layer cakes. I have several sizes and love these pans.

The 8" tortillas are a perfect fit. The 10" will give you the sealed crusty edge though, probably a 1/2 to 1" hang over. I think I'm using 10" tortillas with a different 8" style maker and it works just fine. The nice thing about using the 10" on this is you can add a few more ingredients and not get as much spillover.

It really only takes seconds, but I have yet to make the perfectly round - perfect tortilla. I have discovered that if you want it evenly browned on both sides, you need to flip it, and no matter what I do, I cannot get tortillas that fold. That said. although mine do not look like Taco Restaurant tortillas, they taste good. Like most things, you just have to work at it to get good at it. If you plan on making a lot of tortillas on a regular basis, you would get good and this press does make nice thin tortillas. Good luck!

Marge - The tortillas are about the same size as the supermarket ones, but I would strongly recommend that you do NOT buy them!!!! They were such a disappointment! I grew up in Mexico and had hoped for the "real thing", but the Banderitas are WORSE than the supermarket brands!!! They were thin and totally fell apart -- they're good bird-food but not much else. I put them in the freezer and will use them in tortilla soup so they're not a total waste. Julie

Well, they are "cut" as in already tortilla shaped. Just peel one off and heat on a griddle.

It does have a straighter edge. However, it pours well. I think it's a matter a preference. To me, the straighter edge works better. I have a complete set of Calphalon cookware and find it's the best. It helps to have good tools when cooking. I hope this helps. Best wishes and happy cooking.

I don't find the handle thin, but they are different in that they are rounded rather than flat handles like most cutlery. Bigger hands! Hmm I can't answer that! I'm happy I bought them. They are unusual and I'm drawn to things that are different.
