Buy el comal online

El comal is used to cook and heat tortillas, toast spices, sear meats, and roast vegetables in many Latin American dishes.

Yes, most comals can be used on electric stoves, but check the material; cast iron or steel works best.

Let it cool, wipe with a dry or damp cloth, and avoid soap if it's seasoned. For tough residues, use coarse salt as a scrub.

Remove the rust by scrubbing with steel wool, rinse, dry thoroughly, and re-season before use.

Yes, most metal comals are oven safe; avoid exposing clay comals to temperature shock.

Heat the comal until it's medium-high; it should be hot enough for tortillas to puff but not burn quickly.

Proper seasoning and preheating help prevent food from sticking to your comal.

To season a new comal, heat it slowly and rub with a bit of oil. Let it cool, then wipe off excess oil. Repeat a few times.

You can cook tortillas, pancakes, roast chiles, sear meats, toast nuts, and more on a comal.

Keep your comal in a dry place; if seasoned, a thin layer of oil helps prevent rust.

Use a high smoke point oil, like vegetable, canola, or grapeseed oil.

Cast iron comals heat evenly, retain heat longer, and are very durable; clay comals impart a more traditional flavor but are more fragile.

No, never put a comal, especially cast iron or clay, in the dishwasher as it will damage the seasoning or material.

With proper care and seasoning, a comal can last for many years, even decades.
