I just received a tortilla/pancake warmer from Amazon this afternoon, and I'll be using it today making shredded beef tacos along with homemade salsa. Thanks for this much needed information.
Great video. I think you guys should include these instructions with the product. We've had our warmer for almost 2 years and we never knew how to use it properly until watching this video.
Can I keep it on a heating rack on the low side of my 48” blackstone griddle? I’m cooking for a lot of people this weekend and I’ll be using two of these in rotation until the proteins are gone
Our lid was stuck for the container because the steam was suctioned to it. To get it out we got a paper clip and used the end of it to poke a hole. First, we took of a thin piece of plastic surrounding the paper clip. That way we can use the metal part to poke through. Then we got a candle and heated up the end of the paperclip so it can melt a hole through the side of the container. We just kept heating it, poking through the hole, and repeat. Eventually the hole was deep enough to poke all the way through. Then we could hear the steam coming out of the container. We pulled the lid and it came off. Hopefully this helps anyone else with the same problem.
When the lid became stuck (lid on in microwave) I got it to come apart by 1) placing warmer in a pot that was slightly larger than the warmer. 2) I filled pot with water. Warmer floated off the bottom. 3) I put enough water in the pot to keep warmer off the bottom of the pot and brought the pot water to a boil. I let it boil around the warmer for about 20 minutes. 4) Then I took the warmer out with over mits and a slotted spoon, put it on a dish towel, worked into the seam the blade of a flat head screwdriver and was able to pry the lid up slowly, twisting the screwdriver blade to pry upwards and moving all around it with the screwdriver. It could take a little longer than 20 minutes to get the contents inside hot enough to release the lid, but as long as there is sufficient water in the pot (I added boiling water once) nothing should be hurt by this method. The contents of the warmer were fine, piping hot too.
Mexican here, please do not microwave your tortillas. turn on the stove top and use a comal (it's flat pan that you use to heat tortillas). for flour you can just put them straight on, for corn ever so lightly wipe some water on both sides and then trow them on. using too much water will make them stick and be soggy. make sure yo flip them so that both sides are evenly heated and the do not burn. once they are heated put them in a cloth and set them in the warmer. repeat this for however many you need and enjoy you tortillas.
I don't have a comal, but I do have a large cast iron skillet. Sometimes I just put them straight on the burner of my gas powered stove - but you have to flip and turn them round almost constantly so they don't burn. That's just if I'm heating one or two... not a whole batch.
No No No No! Microwaved tortillas??? The horror...the travesty!! Tortillas should be heated on a hot plate or my preferred method, directly on the burner. Shame on you!!

vancitydude I agree. I didn't know that the lid was not microwave safe.
Apparently you’re not from California
@@davidbone2046 I’ve been in SoCal for a gazillion years (probably before you were born) and I never knew it either.😎
It came on the paper that sealed ours.
Super helpful! I just got this tortilla warmer from Amazon and will be using it for the first time today. Thanks for the tips! ❤

glad I searched for this first, doesn't say on the product that the lid is not microwaveable! Also how many tortillas at a time?
YES IT DOES IDIOT

I've been using this wrong for a long time
This is pro Mexican food.
I have the same tortilla warmer
never knew that. wish I knew 20 years ago. damn. lmao
Funny I almost bought this at my grocery store 😅
Lids not microwave safe...but it's made of the same resin the base is...🤨🤨🤨
on the top of the lid, where the peppers are....should say LID NOT MICROWAVABLE! Damn lid is melted shut with the last of my tortillas! 😲😤😠
See the comment I added above about getting the lid to release.
how to open it when it got sealed in the microwave
Ha Ha.. You microwaved with the lid on.. dummy.
Why the fuck is the lid different from the body??!!??
No No No No! Microwaved tortillas??? The horror...the travesty!! Tortillas should be heated on a hot plate or my preferred method, directly on the burner. Shame on you!!
Then tell you what..don't heat yours in the microwave and the peaceful world order will be restored and your skivvies will no longer be in a bunch.
a true tortilla snob. may your tribe increase. i agree.. and why would u need to ever reheat one.. just make it fresh everytime
over dramatic much? Maybe you've calmed down since you posted this two years ago.
