One of the first recipes I tried was your Cubano on the Chud press family loved it

I've used it for a couple of months now making tortillas over a propane camp burner. It works pretty darn well! The biggest downside is pushing down on the CHUD part of the handle is less than a 1/4" wide and it starts to dent your hand in after 30 tortillas. It would be awesome if that portion had a 1" extension upwards that was then bent back at a 30 degree angle so there was a flatter area to push down on. That's my only complaint, other than it almost cooks the stuff too fast ;-)

Pretty awesome press, seasoned it in the oven, perfect for smash burgers and all kinds of stuff

So this was one of those sober me knew I didn’t need things but drunk me kept ogling it behind my back until he finally pulled the trigger. The press is pretty darned heavy and is probably best for a person who has a permanent spot to keep it where it’s used. My wife is having no part of that place being on our stovetop, so I keep it in the garage. I use it on my flat propane turkey fryer burner but it works well on the stovetop too. It gets plenty hot. I seasoned it on my 26” Weber kettle and have had no issues with sticking other than a couple times with the top plate. I’ve made some good burgers and sandwiches thus far and I have no complaints outside of one of the screws needing an Allen wrench to tighten and loosen. It can’t be hand tightened or loosened for whatever reason and to carry it around this needs to happen, otherwise, I’ve enjoyed it to the point that drunk me also ordered a raw steel Chud box. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Not only does it cook fantastic tortillas, it also works as a flat top and makes great bacon and eggs. Love it!
