Just received three of these expecting to do a large tortilla..it is only 8.5" across. Medium size at the largest.

I had the same question and looks like the seller suggests the 2+ cup 7" size as most popular for households. However they have also mentioned that the 3+ cup 8" is their most popular size. Check out their website - http://importfood.com/mortarpestle.html

On the front of the box in the left lower corner, it indicates, "Dishwasher Safe - 6.5" x 6.5" x 2.5". We use burrito size tortillas with a light brush of our favorite olive oil on both sides and make nice taco salads. Enjoy.

Yes they are. Do be careful of the size tortillas you buy. The bigger the tortilla, the more room it is going to take up. If you buy the 8" size tortilla I think you will be very pleased with how they work for a taco salad. It was our first use of these shell makers.

The directions on the box was 375 degrees for 10min.The one thing I don't like is the smaller tortillas are pretty thick and make a very hard shell.Make sure you look for the thinnest tortillas you can find.10inch tortillas will over lap in these smaller pans but that is ok they just are just not picture perfect.

Use a medium sized tortilla, and it will measure: 6" wide at the top, 4" wide at the bottom, and 2" deep.The fried shells are, of course tastier, but these are pretty darn good, and better for you. Bake a minute longer than it says to.

I think they're smaller than the ones Walmart used to give us. More like grocery store size. I hear Walmart sells them but have never seen what size they sell.

Yes, if you read the product description it says it is specifically made for 6 inch tortillas. All though I find slightly bigger ones work better if you are stuffing it will a lot of stuff.

LOL ... hold on and I'll go measure the diameter and also what size I use for the tortillas. Just over 8" from flute to flute. About 3" deep. Perfect fit for an 11' tortilla but would also cope with larger.

mine holds the regular, standard size that you can easily find at grocery store (i.e. luncheon size) -- I think they also sell one for cocktail size from online: The difference is the size: Dinner sizes (18"square, 20"square & 22"square) luncheon sizes (12"-14"square) cocktail sizes.(4"square. 6"square & 6x9").

This tortilla warmer is for no larger than standard sized corn tortillas of under 8 inches. Larger tortillas would need to be folded to fit inside. It's a great warmer for corn tortillas.

We just use the standard size you can you for a gas grill or turkey fryer. Hope that helped.

depends on how strong you like your coco, it's the same size you would buy in the store.

I bought the 8". I would buy the 8" again, no question. For one thing, you can always make smaller tortillas on a larger press, but you can't make larger ones on a smaller press. If you were buying aluminum, which is less rigid, there might be some case for a smaller press. But the cast iron press is more rigid, and genuinely makes better tortillas. Even if you're not making 8" tortillas, it's easier to make a 6" tortilla on a larger press, because it's not as picky about where you place the masa ball. Cast iron 8" all the way.

The pan itself is large compared to the smaller ones seen in the stores. It will hold a 'burrito' sized flour tortilla as stated in guidelines. As the tortilla heats up, it will shrink and conform to the pan shape and will shrink in size somewhat. It will be large enough to hold a complete decent sized tostada with all the fixin's.(beans, meat, cheese, lettuce, salsa, sour cream tomatoes & scallions). If you use the super size tortilla (I beleive 16") it will probably hang over the sides and therefore will not shrink up and conform to pan size.

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

Maximum tortilla size is 7 3/4 inches on mine, and the top is a star pattern created by six diamond shaped mesquite inlays glued to a respectable 1 1/2 inch block of solid mesquite.
