Can I use the Tortilla maker to re-heat corn & flour tortillas?

Quite frankly, I rarely use the tortilla maker. I get the same results just heating on a griddle on the stove. I worked at a Mexican restaurant where they had a restaurant grade tortilla griddle which heated tortillas to perfection. I was longing for that same perfect tortilla when I ordered the Tortilla maker. No such luck. A total waste of money. It sits in my pantry unused.

Personally, if I wanted to reheat I would use microwave. This appliance takes toooooooooooooo long to heat.

Of course. It is actually better for re-heating than for making them. I don't think it is a great appliance for preparation.

I didn't use anything to pre-cure the tortilla press as I used parchment paper on both sides, or you could use waxed paper. Everything I read about making homemade tortilla says to make sure you use either of these on the bottom plate and then put the ball dough on top with another piece of paper. Without this you will have a hard time getting the pressed tortilla off. You don't cook using the press, but a pan for the cooking part. Hope this helps you.

I bought mine specifically for making Tortillas españolas (Spanish omelettes). It works perfectly for flipping the tortilla over to cook the other side! SO much easier and no risk of mess than trying to expertly flip in the same pan.

I've not used it for tortillas. I line it with a towel and use it to keep biscuits warm. It keeps them warm and is attractive on the table.

In my experience the Baked Taco Rack doesn't work. I have never tried to pre-stuff a corn tortilla but since the tortillas have always broken apart before I even got them in the oven, I doubt whether pre-stuffing it would work.

You can try. The temp control is very unstable and ended up baking or under heating 2 batches before we have up on this unit. Total waste of $$$!

For microwave and storage use only. (Microwave Save!) It is BPA and melamine-free. Top rack dishwater safe. Perfect for warming or reheating more than a dozen burrito-sized tortillas as well as pancakes and buns. Place warmer in micro to ensure everyone at the table receives hot, fresh food at the same time. I will tell you that I have used it to serve potatoes chips, etc., warm pancakes, etc., and I'm so glad that I purchased this tortilla warmer. Is a great asset to my kitchen/table.

I've tried regular masa tortillas several times. Power on, power off didn't matter, they still stuck. I tried spraying and greasing with no change. I haven't given up on corn yet, though! As far as flour tortillas it's Awesome! Perfect every time.

Yes, but only about 1/2 way up from the bottom, the top portion of the tortilla would stay uncooked. Option is to use small tortilla's that don't extend beyond the oil level in the fryer when you put the basket into it. You could test it by putting oil in the fryer to your normal level and then put the basket in, empty, to get an idea. I end up tilting the basket inside my fryer to crisp the tops of the tortilla's, it works.

I use a silular model on my gas cooktop all the time.. I find that a higher heat setting works better.. The more heat, there is, the quicker the corn pops and less time for the time there is for first corns poped to get burned. I use it to make kettle corn, I just use 2 teasoons of oil, 1/2cup of suger, a little salt, heat that up and put in a 1/2cup of corn.

Just the bottom heats up. You must flatten the ball of dough to get size/desired thickness & then after a short bit, then open & turn the tortilla over to cook other side & properly. The top just reflects the heat from the bottom.

I use the cast iron to make corn and flour tortillas. For corn tortillas there is no need to plug it. For the flour tortillas they do not expand the same with out electricity, I always plug it for the flour tortillas. I had it for a little more that two years and I use it every other week and works great.

These pans are meant for baking so you won't get a nice, puffy, crispy golden shell from these pans. I have baked the tortillas dry, brushed oil on them and have sprayed them with pretty much the same results each time. But we prefer the lower calorie/fat from baking them dry.If you are looking for the tortillas to be how restaurants serve taco salads in, you'll need to fry the tortillas and these pans aren't the proper equipment for that. There are metal wire molds available out there for frying tortillas. I'd probably check kitchen stores and restaurant supply companies for them and you'll need a deep fryer, tall pot or even a turkey fryer. And lots of oil.

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.

I have never made tamales with this product, but I know that it will work well I use this product often to make my own corn tortillas and homemade taco chips and the product works great.

I usually heat oven to 350 degrees and bake from 11 to 13 minutes. Depends on how brown you want the tortilla. I also use the tortillas that stick up from the pan so they do brown. I put tortillas in microwave to soften before putting in shell maker. Hope this helps.

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.
