Perfect Tortilla

Every time I look at a TV during the last few weeks, I see ads for the Perfect Tortilla, a wavy mold designed to help you make lovely edible bowls out of a regular store-bought tortilla. At home, visiting family, even at a sports bar: the ad is everywhere. What makes it annoying isn't the spokesman who resembles a bald Billy Mays. It's that this product is useless, even by the rarified standards of as-seen-on-TV merchandise.

If you really do aspire to eat a tortilla bowl-centric diet, you don't need to buy a special product that takes up cabinet space. As food blogger Emily Bites showed the world more than a year ago, you need to turn your muffin pan over.

Yeah, put that right in there with the fortune cookie maker.

But I don't have a muffing pan.

Well you know who to call.

You know, there are lots of kitchen gadgets out there that are completely ridiculous.

But there are some that I use ALL OF THE TIME.

My KitchenAid food processor? I think I'd rather give up my left arm than live without that thing.

My large KitchenAid Professional stand mixer? I dare anybody to take it off my counter.

My stainless steel pan set? I use them far more than I use my Teflon pans. They clean up so beautifully, and I never have to worry about scratching them.

My rubber spatulas? I use them ALL. OF. THE. TIME.

But weird kitchen gizmos? I guess I really don't have too many of them. I do have a pasta machine that I haven't used in probably 12 years or so. I should get rid of it.

All you need is a teflon griddle pan; the square one.
Put it over medium-low heat and place tortillas on the pan til warmed through; flipping over to evenly heat.
Simple :shrug:

Not this time.

Edit: Wait.....this is for making tortilla bowls?
My bad.....
Still, you don't need a special appliance to make tortilla bowls.

 

[RoseRed]

Not this time.

You may want to reconsider that.

D'ass right.
Now I just need to perfect that walking-on-water thing.
I keep going to the bottom. /:-\

I have a pasta roller that I use all the time. Other than that I'm not a huge fan of unitaskers - just don't have the room for them and I loathe clutter. I don't even own an electric mixer because it's just easier to hand mix. I have no toaster, which stunned my kids. I don't have an electric can opener. I am a Luddite.

I have none of the above, too.
