I need to eat wheat bread (in the from of roti an mostly and also
tortiall for lunch and dinner; I use Ororweat or Sarah Lee's bread or
pita bread for breakast).

I have learned how to make roti - I need to imporve my skills
slightly; I haven't tried making tortiall yet.

To save time of rolling, I am considering buying electric roti maker.
The review on sacchi is not good.

Readinf some forum on the net, it sounds like there are some brands
making roti (probably Indian brand) and then there are the ones for
Toritall which people use it to make rotis. I just wan tot buy
somehting that dosn't stop working after a year. Any info?

Yesterday, I saw a bunch of Roti/Tortill make demos on youtube. Also
n, in a forum, someone was saying that Vijaya brand was good but that
won't be available in US. Today, I saw in a forum how all these
differnt brand only cooks outside.

So, now I am considering buying Cast Iron Toritilla Press - (I saw
bad review on non cast Iron ones) - though I want to avoid cast iron
as they are heavy? What is your opinion on this?

I saw Imusa Cast Iiron Toritilla Press at online target. I am
thinkign to buy one (from the store) and see I like it. I am tired of
buying Tortilla. Since I eat other bread - Oroweat, pita bread,
tortilla (tia Rosa) just sits in the fridge too long. They don't go
bad easily 9t0 naked eyes anyway) but who knows for sure? Oe time,
within a week, I saw mold. That was scary.

Anyone uses Toritlla press? I will be using only wheat, not corn

A standard tortilla press doesn't work very well for flour tortillas or
rotis. They need to be rolled out. Same with chapattis. It doesn't take
very long to do that.

Flour tortillas can be frozen without any damage. Wrap part of the pack
airtight and throw it in the freezer. Thaw in the fridge. Good as new.

It doesn't have to be as good as rolled roti. I need to eat wheat
product due to my hypoglycemia. ANything made fressh si better than
store bought. So I don't care if it is not perfect. I am not
interseted in making a fancy meal. I am trying to be efficient and eat
resonably tasty food. With the press, I hope to make Toritilla too.

No flour, only wheat flour for me.

A tortilla press won't work at all with wheat flour, in fact the harder you
press the harder the glutten will press back.

not realizing how stupid they look.

You will find it somewhat of a struggle. Try patting them out by hand to
flatten them and then try the press.

Flour tortillas are made from wheat flour. Many Hispanic people locally
made them from whole wheat flour rather than white flour.

Do you realize how stupid you look with all of your misspellings?
I had to read everything you wrote twice just to figure out what the
heck you were talking about.
Hint: usenet is a written medium. spelling counts.
