This takes it down to a second per base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrop a dough ball on the bottom plate, pull the lever, and the top plate comes down flat and square. It presses to 5 mm, so every base comes out the same whether it is the first of the night or the two hundredth. The spring returns the lever on its own, which is what lets one person keep a steady rhythm without a second hand on the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a cold press, not a heated one, so it does not cook or dry the dough. That suits pizza bases, tortillas, roti, pita and pie lids, and anything else that starts as a ball and needs to be a disc. At 11.2 kg it stays put on the bench when you lean on the lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVertical press, even thickness edge to edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless press plate, up to 240 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresses to 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffort-saving lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring return on the top plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidened base, does not walk on the bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePizza, tortilla, roti, pita and pie lids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall balls for dumpling and taco wrappers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold press, dough stays soft and unproofed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVevor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDough size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 240 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePressed thickness\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e245 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e360 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11.2 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePress plate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel and iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual lever, spring return\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone cold press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePapers included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 parchment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoes it heat the dough?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a cold press. The platens flatten the dough and nothing else, so the base stays soft and you cook it however you normally would. If you want a tortilla cooked in the press, you need a heated tortilla press, which is a different tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I change the thickness?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt presses to 5 mm. For a thinner base, press once, turn the dough a quarter turn and press again; for thicker, use a larger ball and stop the lever short of the end of its travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow big a dough ball does it take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnything that makes a disc up to 240 mm across at 5 mm. Smaller balls make smaller discs, which is how people use it for dumpling wrappers and taco-sized tortillas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDo I need the papers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sheet above and below the dough stops it sticking to the platens and lets you lift the base off in one piece. A hundred come in the box. Without paper, a light dusting of flour or semolina on both platens works for most doughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the plates with a damp cloth and a little detergent, then dry. Do not put the press under a tap; the frame is steel and iron and should stay dry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OV Supplies","offers":[{"title":"240 mm \/ 100 sheets included","offer_id":49045357068520,"sku":"OVS-DP-240-240-mm-100-sheets-included","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240 mm \/ Add 500 sheets","offer_id":49045357101288,"sku":"OVS-DP-240-240-mm-add-500-sheets","price":258.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/3136\/4840\/files\/240-manual-dough-press-w1.jpg?v=1789038260","url":"https:\/\/shop.ovsupplies.com.au\/products\/240-manual-dough-press","provider":"OVSupplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
