Erfüllt seinen Zweck. Gut verarbeitet. Praktisch

It's tiny and came broken.

Good until now.

This tostonera does exactly what it's supposed to do and works really well for making tostones and patacones. When it's assembled and intact, it presses plantains evenly and efficiently, making the cooking process much easier than other methods I've tried. Everything arrived as ordered and in excellent condition. All pieces were included, packaging was secure, and delivery was prompt with no issues. The bamboo material is a nice natural touch and easy to clean. The jumbo size is perfect for larger plantain slices, which is convenient when cooking for multiple people. My only concern is the durability. While it worked well initially, I'm not sure how long it will hold up with regular use. The bamboo construction seems like it might not withstand heavy or frequent pressing over time, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5. For the price, it's still a good purchase and gets the job done. Just be aware that it may not be the most long-lasting kitchen tool. If you're looking for something functional and affordable for making tostones, this will work well - just handle it with reasonable care. Would recommend for casual use, but if you're making tostones very frequently, you might want to consider a more heavy-duty option.
