This is the essential tool for molding tortillas into crisp, fried taco shells. Simply place a small tortilla into the mold (it measures 4-1/2 inches in diameter) and squeeze the handle to press the tortilla into a U shape. Plunge the press into hot oil, and the tortilla fries into a crisp taco shell suitable for filling with ground meat or picadillo, grated cheese, lettuce, and salsa.

The stainless-steel press measures 13 inches overall, and the handle forms an L shape so it can rest on the fryer's rim and protect your hand from hot, splattering oil. Rubberized plastic covers the handle grips so they stay cool. The press is dishwasher-safe.
