Do I heat the tortillas in the warmer or just put them in the warmer after they are already warm. If I heat them in the warmer, what is the process?

Either way works great. To heat in the warmer I fold the tortillas and place a moist paper towel in with them, then heat in the microwave for a minute or so. I also use a hot bread warmer in the bottom which works great to keep things warm.

It only keeps them warm. Line the container with foil or a clean kitchen towel first. Place the tortillas in there while they're hot to keep them warm. Don't heat them in the container.

You'll just want to put them in the warmer after they are already warm. A sheet of waxed paper in between layers helps them not to stick together after they are cooked and placed in the warmer:)

The "Warmer" says microwave safe on the bottom, but it also says "Made in China". If you trust that it won't off gas some Chinese chemicals, then it can be used to warm them. I've used mine in the microwave oven, but have't felt confident that I'm not getting something extra in the process.

Hello, and no, you heat the tortillas first then put them in the warmer but I must tell you that I was very dissapointed with the warmer, it does not keep the tortillas warm for very long. It works better if you wrap whatever you heat up in aluminum foil after you warm it up and then place it in the warmer.

I use it to keep them warm after they have already been warmed and has worked great also Ias I take up pancakes I put them in the warmer to the table and they really stay warm

Put parchment paper between he maker with the tortilla in between. If you need you can even spray a little oil on the paper. We use parchment paper and have had no trouble with any of it! Hope this helps!

Carefully press the tortillas into the pan, they may spring back a little but with a little persistence you can get them to form to the inner sides. Very yummy and worth the little extra effort. Just be careful as to not break the shells while attempting to fit into the form. A little hanging over the edge is OK, this part may become a little crispier but tastes fine. If they break while attempting to fit to the inner sides all is not lost, but they do not look as perfectly formed but will work just fine none the less. I used to use soup bowls and draped on the outside for baking but these handy nonstick shell makers are the perfect answer to making great taco salad shell in the restaurant style.JAG Carefully press the tortillas into the pan, they may spring back a little but with a little persistence you can get them to form to the inner sides.

I have not had issues with my pans, but then I am only using premade flour or corn tortillas. I just lift with my fingers and they come out. I also make gluten free tortillas, but I do cook them is a cast iron skillet before I put them in my pans to bake. I still have no issues with removing from the pans.

No, they go to one temperature. They get pretty hot after just a few minutes so if you just want them warm, I'd say leave them in for about one-two minutes. Hope that helps!

I put torillas (as many as you want) in warmer, kinda fan them out and warm for about 45-60 seconds (depends on microwave). Stays warm for a long time (hrs). It's great. I use for pancakes too, they don't get soggy while you finish making the rest. I would recommend buying one :)

I am not sure about how you heat them. I would need to ask my mother as she is the one that I bought the FaceCaddy for. I do know that she absolutely loves it though and it has been such a life saver for her. I am pretty confident that you can heat them in the microwave. You could also call the number on the website and ask or facebook chat. I have done both and he is just delightful and so helpful! Hope this helps!!

I warm the tortillas in the microwave for around 30 seconds (1100 watt microwave). Then warm the tortilla pan a little, spray it with pan spray, arrange the tortillas on the pan, spray a little pan spray on them as well and bake them. Sometimes if I am heavy handed with the pan spray it will turn brown too quickly. I haven't tried spraying oil yet, I would think that it would not turn brown I'm interested in trying it though. My Misto became clogged with vegetable oil build up so I am no longer using it, if someone can tell me how to avoid this problem I will purchase another one. Hope this helps.

We bake the Tortilla Shells at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and seems to work out fine for us. Hope this helps.

My instructions say for a 6.5 to an 8 inch tortilla , to bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 7 minutes. extra crispy 7 to 10 minutes. let cool about 5 min. in the pan after removing from oven. I only wait a minute or 2. I hope this helps, and sorry you didn't receive instructions.

Mfg suggests "10 minutes at 375 degrees". Depending on the size of your tortilla and how much is above the mold pan and how brown & crispy you want that part of the tortilla, should depend on how long and what temp you bake it. Keep in mind never more than 10 minutes and never hotter than 375 degrees and experiment with your own oven to find the right balance for your taste.

I would think so. But probably not for very long. The warmer has a pretty tight seal, but after a while the tortillas might dry out.

The press just flattens the tortilla dough instead of using a rolling pin, so much easier. Then you cook the tortilla in a flat bottomed pan, or even a regular frying pan on medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes per side. Happy 4th.

I refrigerate them in the bag they came in. Take out what you need and let them warm before use. I dip them in clonex solution before use

i have only cooked hotdogs i think if u cooked taquitos on it when they heat up they might melt on it or inside :( not sure

No, on the inside. I spray the inside of the "bowl", then I also spray the top side of tortilla. Then press the torltilla into the mold. I also season the top side with a chipotle herb mix. Then bake as directed. I guess you could bake it on the outside of the form, turned upside-down. I've seen this in recipes just using a pyrex or corningware bowl. Good luck.

Not really, you need a heated press for flour tortillas otherwise they shrink back into tiny circles when you open the press
