Can you get the shells to come out crisp?

No, because there is no way on earth for the tortillas to even stay on the baker. They will ALWAYS slide off and fall to the bottom of the stove. I tried, my friends tried, and none of us could get one tortilla to bake. I know I went through 80 fresh tortillas. Please, don't waste your money.

You've gotten a bunch of negative answers about the taco rack. My experience is much different so I've just written a review on it. I'm more like the majority of people who've reviewed the rack and have given it favorable comments. There will always be a few who will never like the Chicago metallic baked taco rack. They are the same people who will blame a frying pan when the yolk on a sunny side egg breaks.

Yes they're crispy but my tortillas kept coming apart before even went into oven.

If you want shiny/new brass then tumble them. I always do along with just a bit of polish and the brass comes out looking like new, even on 10 times reloaded brass.

My sister in law's turn out gooey too but mine are not. I think it is over blending that is causing it. I go up and down only and when I think they are mixed I quit and fork them to check. Don't go in circles for sure. It is not like a blender. Good luck. It is possible to make terrific potatoes with them. She showed me what not to do!

I used the bake feature instead of the fry feature for the wings but they do come out crispy when set at a higher temperature than typical bake. I cook them nearly complete and then turn up the heat to finish them off.

Yes! Just use slightly older eggs or at least not fresh. And when you take them out plunge rack and all into very cold water and let sit for about 10 minutes. I then transfer them to a colander in my fridge where they chill for at least a few hours if not overnight. Shells come off extremely easy. Don't use fresh eggs and don't try to peel them when they're hot. That will help a lot.

It's ready to eat, there is no shell. However, they are quite bitter, I would recommend you grind them first in a coffee grinder and then add it to your morning cereal. It's much easier to consume it that way.

Not sure, we had to play with the water levels to get it right. If they are completely raw, you might have a defective unit. If they just aren't cooked enough for your taste, try using more water.

Try putting more batter in. Mine weren't browning on the top until I realized I wasn't putting enough batter in for it to touch the top.

try using a bamboo skewers. You do have to throw it out after each use though

I would say No. Its swell for a hard shell to be assembled and eaten. But soft ones are usually assembled and rolled.

No, the box says, "Microwave use only." The rack is made of flexible plastic. The only thing that will get crispy is the rack.

I am sure you will get them really crispy but I would say about 6 to 10 at most.

I tried the sharpie dying a bit on it and that method does work but as far as heat you have to be careful.. It can take some heat but not much.. If you use too much you'll fry it.. I did to an end which I was trimming anyways :P

I think walnut shells work best, but corn cob will work, just not as good. Hope that answers your question. Using a chemical cleaner makes them both work better,

They are not shelled. They come with a green shell that must be soaked for 24 hours and then taken off. Time consuming but delicious when cooked.

They can be dried to be crisp...depends on how long you leave them on and at what temperature. We are still experimenting.

From both of those failed attempts sound like you are cooking them too long. Adjust your cooking time down by half and then add 30 sec to a min until they come out the way you like them. Also, you need to remember they will continue cooking for a min or two after you remove them from the microwave. You are adding some water, aren't you?
