Idealistic PragmatistOur household’s latest kitchen gadget is a tortilla press. Any tips on using one, for the uninitiated? I’m mostly hoping to make tortillas with it but maybe eventually also arepas.
irne jawe@justip in Mexico, they use thin plastic (baking paper might also work?) to line the press so that the tortillas don’t stick. Put one piece of plastic down on the press, then the ball of masa dough, then another piece of plastic, then press
@pewterbaw thank you!
Rob Yurkowski (he/him)@justip @pewterbaw To add to this, take a pair of scissors to the sides of a large ziplock bag, and you'll get a piece that's thick enough to be reused many times and doesn't stick to itself.
@robyurkowski @justip yeah! That’s a great tip
