Your cart is empty.The Imusa tostonera is , ideal for making perfectly pressed tostones (or ‘patacones’) with just the right thickness and shape. The tostonera is an essential tool in the Latin kitchen. Tostones are crispy fried plantains, very popular in Hispanic cuisine as side dishes and appetizers. The IMUSA tostonera easily flattens sliced plantains and prepares them to be fried.

I purchased both the "small" and the "jumbo". The dimensions that I found on Amazon were unsatisfactory, so I will post a better set of dimensions here."small" (B0032VDG14,BAM-10006): thickness = 7/8" folded length = 8" unfolded length = 12" width = 3.5" circular depression = 2&7/8" diameter"jumbo" (B0032VFHX4,BAM-10007): thickness = 7/8" folded length = 10" unfolded length = 15" width = 4.5" circular depression = 3" diameterNote that the circular depression is not proportional to the overall size of the press, and is nearly identical for both. Because of this, I don't really see the purpose of the "jumbo" version, all it does is take up more space in the kitchen.Regarding the negative reviews, I agree that the press is rather flimsy, and I tightened some of the screws myself. BUT, I don't think a tostonera needs to be very strong -- pressing once-fried plantains is very easy. So, I would say it is constructed according to its purpose. The press would probably break very quickly if you used it to press raw, unripe plantains, but that's not the intended use.

The price is right for this kitchen tool. I’ve bought a few of these for myself and for my family. They seem to work as well as any other inexpensive tostonera. They won’t last forever but at this price point I don’t expect it to. Out of the 3 purchased only one had a screw that began to loosen up but it was an easy fix.

This is a flimsy product. Screws were unattached. I screwed them in and the first time I used it they fell out again. Total waste of money.

Much better than the one I had before from imusa. The wood is sealed. Hopefully better wear.

Upon unpacking, noticed screws were not secured or screwed into the hinges. One screw was completely out. Fastened and secured all 4 screws. On tostones number 3, Bam! Hinge completed separated from the other part of the smasher.
