How do you flip your Tortillas?

@Wulf and his frozen sadness

 

@eon_blue when he tries to use his hands instead of a spatula but gets lost

 

Used a spatula? Does he eat pizza and hamburgers with a knife and fork?

 

Hey, I didn't out anyone!

Just providing the recount per his request.

 

Ah sheet.. shoulda kept it anonymous

 

OP- I'm assuming your talking flour tortilla? My answer, never. Here in CA you get them fresh and you fill them up and roll them up for a burrito. Quesadilla you just fold in half. Corn tortillas I steam to make them love-ily pliable. But you got to use two. One can't hold a taco like mine. Oh, and extra cilantro!

 

I feel like I'm a senate inquiry when I say this, but:

"I have not now, nor will I ever flip a tortilla with anything except my hand."

 

If I warm up a corn, of flour tortilla on a flat iron griddle, or whatever flat cooking surface I have, I use my hands.

This includes freshly made tortillas, as they're not sticky once one side is cooked.

If oils are introduced, then obviously a utensil is used as cooking oil can get hot as fuck (and will cause a fire if you go reaching in there, burn yourself and fling oil in other places). But we're not talking about using oils here.

 

Don't tell me I lost you too...

 

Hands for me if I’m at home or heating only a few tortillas.

However, if I’m at work and I’m heating up 200 smaller tortillas I’ll put down as many as will fit on the griddle (It’s 40”x30”) and flip them with a burger flipper type turner thing.
If it’s a lot of 12” tortillas I’ll use my fingers.

It’s vastly faster and I don’t burn the shit out of my fingers from turning 200 tortillas.
But my fingers are a lot softer nowadays as I don’t do as much actual cooking as I used too.

 

She would like a word

 

Lol…hands like leather!

 

I've done it with my hands, but said NOPE and let my mom finish.

Of course I was younger and probably not someone I'd trust in the kitchen.

 

Your vote says otherwise

 

Thought he was a she....




+1 for fingers. Got thumbs for a reason,, built in tongs!

 

Chopsticks

Shows you how much I was paying attention!

I just searched for flipping tortilla gifs till I found one sad enough
