does anyone know if this could be used for rolling tortillas?

I guess it could be but its certainly not what it was made for. Don't you press tortillas?

I haven't used it for something like that, although I don't know why you couldn't. I've mainly used mine for pie crust and biscuits. I love it. Give it a try for you red velvet or pumpkin cake roll. I think it would probably work pretty good. Good luck.

Any kind of tortilla works fine, I believe you could even use gluten free tortilla made from other types of flour.

I have not used it that way, but it is so shallow it would only hold 3-4 crescent rolls. works well for tortillas which have no depth. Might hold 2-3 biscuits. check out the dimensions on this item

Sorry, couldn't figure out how to expound on my 'yes' answer. I have used it to make tortillas and flatbreads, so if you are going for a thin crust pizza it should work...not sure how thick you could make it though. Hope that helps!

I would say no on the taquitos . Primarily because they may become "un-rolled" and create a mess on and under the rollers.This equipment is really designed for hot dogs, brats & sausage. There is a removable drip tray to catch any oil, grease. But I think the taquitos would fall apart after they get heated on the rollers. I hope this helps...

I roll the tortillas out between two pieces of plastic, either slit a ziplock or the such, or use plastic wrap. If the fall apart, add more water. Mix well then roll out.

No. It's just a press to flatten tortillas and its a chintzy one at that. Doesn't do the job. My advice is to spend a bit more money and get a steel one . This one is a waste of money in my opinion.

No, because there is no way on earth for the tortillas to even stay on the baker. They will ALWAYS slide off and fall to the bottom of the stove. I tried, my friends tried, and none of us could get one tortilla to bake. I know I went through 80 fresh tortillas. Please, don't waste your money.

I'm no tortilla expert, and i'm looking for a new press as my aluminum one is a joke i have to use a rolling pin , but honest the best thing i've found is mix very warm to hot not boiling water with a pinch of salt and add this to the masa flour. Then knead and let it rest. The longer your masa sits the better it gets. If i try to make a tortilla just after mixing they crack while cooking. Just give it thirty minutes to an hour, then go back it should work out well. Good luck!

Not me. I would think your biggest problem is going to be in keeping the clay from sticking to the rollers. I use lots of flour to keep my dough moving through freely. If you can keep the clay from sticking, I don't see why you couldn't use it to roll clay. It's pretty sturdy.

It works perfectly for this. You can put the tortilla shells in either right side up or draped over. It works well either way.

I don't think it's a problem. The softness of your dough defines more the thickness of your tortillas. It's a bit more difficult with softer dough but well worth it if you want thinner tortillas. I've been using plastic wrap on both sides of the press which sticks pretty well when you squirt some water on the press before covering it.

Probably not. The pointed end of the scoop makes rolling up an ice cream ball easier, but this would not work with sticky dough. I use 2 tablespoons.

Sure, it's great for rolling out any kind of dough. The width of the roller is only 5 1/2" so you're going to be making small pizzas.....

No, you generally cannot use any tortilla press for flour tortillas. They are too elastic to be pressed, and must be rolled out with something like a pin. Tortilla presses should only be used for corn tortillas, which can be made easily using Masa Harina (cornmeal with slaked lime), which is available in the ethnic/latino sections of most grocery stores.

I have used it only as a pastry mat to roll out cookie dough. I personally did not like it and won't use it again. The dough stuck like glue. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
