I apologize but i have not used it. I will check tomorrow night (won't behome tonight) to see if there is a recipe. I used it for a prop at a party that was a carnival theme.

I have not but I think it would melt just fine. I have used it to bake in place or regular sugar and it tastes great. I have also used it in coffee and iced tea, tasty yummy.

Tamales to heat up yes not for cooking, brats of course. I think this is a product so easy to clean fast heating .

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

Before going on a 40 minute hike I've put 2 completely frozen tamales, wrapped in a wet paper towel, from Costco and came back to very hot and steamy tamales. It's too hot to touch the inside directly after 10 to 15 min.

YES! We use it to mash and blend ingredients for guacamole all the time. Much easier to control the texture with this than to use a blender. Easier to clean too.

I have, and it has worked great. I used the recipe found at http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2012/04/all-natural-homemade-marshmallow-chicks-honey-sweetened.html.

Try Pinterest loads of recipes there. I actually used mine for a homemade 'spot stick' using coconut and tea tree oils.

I wouldn't since flour tortilla masa is a different consistency: it's more stretchy. I prefer to hand roll mine out. Suppose you could try and update the thread for anyone else who may have the same question.

I agree with Ben. I am not sure what recipe everyone is using, but I am fairly certain real tortillas have lard in them. If you still have a problem here is what I did. [I made my dough, I used just what I had around the house, flour, water, salt and lard. I split a ziplock bag apart. I placed one side of the bag on the open press, then placed the little dough ball on the bag, and placed other side of the bag on the dough and closed the press. I pressed the leaver. Masa flour is more coarse, so you might want to add a tablespoon of regular bread flour or all purpose flour to the Masa as this may improve the dough because of the gluten that is in regular wheat flour. Gluten would or could or should ...laughing hold your dough together I would think. I laugh because I am only speaking theoretically and have not tired the Masa with flour. It is just cheap ingredients and well worth the trial, I think to have a good homemade, tortilla less all the additives store bought would have in them. Real tortillas I believe have pork fat or lard in them, so you would need some kind of fat. I don't think you want to use oil as this seems like it would be to liquid. In a pinch I would consider Crisco, but much prefer a natural ingredient like lard as it is a real fat that our body knows how to handle. I have a rule if I cannot get the stuff to melt on hot toast I don't think it is going to flow at body temperature in my blood. Good luck and don't give up.

I have not, but I would not know why not. The eggs are to be beaten prior to adding them to the mix if you are making biscuits.

No, I never have. I just put 1/2 damp paper towel in with 5 or 6 tortillas to provide steam and have not had any trouble with tortillas sticking together.

It dose not work very well. I've tried mixing several different ratios and they all had displeasing results.

I use an electric hand mixer. I usually mix it with Some protein pOwder and other herbs.
