RE: Tortilla Press
There are non-electric models available which run about $18-$25 US
But the electric ones cost approximately $49 - $70 US
Most respondents pointed me to The Chef's Catalog

or The Bosch Kitchen Center

Laurie in Colorado sent this tortilla recipe. Can’t wait to try it!
“Here is the gf flour tortilla recipe from the Denver Metro/CSA Chapter for
use with an electric tortilla press:
Basic Tortilla Mix
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup potato starch flour
1/4 white rice flour
1/4 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp salt
1-1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 generous tsp baking powder
1-1/2 TBSP vegetable oil
1/2 cup water or more as needed
Measure all dry ingredients in a sealed container and shake to mix. Add oil
and water to mix. Let the dough rest 10 minutes for easier handling.
Divide dough and roll into 10 to 12 balls. Flatten a ball slightly and
place in the press and follow the press instructions. This recipe says to
cook 30 seconds on each side, but you need to check and see if your press
cooks on both sides at once.
HINTS:
It is suggested that you cook all the tortillas first and STACK them (and
perhaps cover with a moist towel) so that they steam up a little and
soften, otherwise they come out of the press sort of dry. Use the moistened
flour immediately (can make the dry ingredients ahead of time). The recipe
doubles well. If the tortillas have been refrigerated you should reheat
them before eating. Should roll tortillas (if desired) while they are warm
and pliable. Can use two as bread for sandwiches. Also can use as "pizzas"
or dessert crepes with fruit filling, etc”
Can’t wait to try it!
Bye,
Brady
