I have a fairly typical Mexican-made tortilla press, and I've had it for a while. It works of course, but there's a persistent problem of the part of the tortilla at the hinge end of the press ending up much thinner than the part where the lever is.



That makes sense of course; this particular press has almost no "play" at all at the hinge, and when the plates are fully closed they're touching with basically no wiggle.



I'm not asking for a recommendation for another brand so much as asking whether there may be certain patterns of hinge design that allow for a little bit of play in the hinge so that that end of the tortilla doesn't get pinched down to nothing.



I also wonder if the real problem may be that mine is a little 6" or so press instead of a larger 8" press.



I probably should just go fool around with presses at a local market and check to see; I hadn't used it in a while but I did over the weekend and I got somewhat frustrated.
