Tortilla maker is sliding

I guess you bought this. I dare not look at the price you paid for that piece of equipment :eek: But you could try flattening the dough ball slightly in the palm of your hand before putting it in the chapathi maker, it might prevent the tortilla from slipping.

Why on earth would anyone....?:eek:

Tesco value rolling pin: 50 something pence (I think)

Frying pan:anything from a couple of quid upwards.

I agree. But it is very easy to get swayed by gizmos

Perhaps OP has. Perhaps guesswork isn't that much of a virtue and if he wants to call it a tortilla why shouldn't he?

No its not thats entirely different. The same machine can be used to make chapatis, tortillas or rotis. Got it?

Cheers

I fail to understand your aggressive attitude Keystone. I was trying to find out what machine the OP has and all you have done is pick on my post.

The consistency of the mix used for Tortillas and Rotis or Chapatis is not the same, hence why I guess the dough is slipping. Just because some manufacturer says its the same doesn't mean it is.

There is the classic example of people buying a string hopper machine to make spaghetti and have all the seals on the machine blow or pack up. The reason is simple, string hoppers look like spaghetti but are made from a runny mix, so the machine is under less pressure. This is again caused by manufacturers calling a string hopper machine a Spaghetti machine when the sell to the West, how many people know what a string hopper is? Similarly I guessed OP had such a problem, so hence my asking for a picture.

Since you know a lot why don't you sort the OPs problem, instead of criticising my posts

Your "I very much doubt" was condescending in the extreme towards the OP - thats why I picked on your post. Your "Got it? thrown in my direction rather inflamed me too. If you wanted to know what machine why not just ask?

I agree but thats not the point - thats what the OP chose to call it irrespective of what the manufacturer calls it. Whether he is mistaken is beside the point and that just doesn't justify talking down to him/her. Now I concede that maybe not what you meant but thats how the post came across. So perhaps my bad for misunderstanding your intent but I can only react to the the way a post is written.

Answered above.
