## Description

HIC’s Taco Shell Tong is perfect for cooking fresh and delicious crunchy taco shells at home, without the greasy mess. Nothing tastes better than fresh homemade taco shells! Don’t endure stale or broken store-bought shells any longer. The specially designed contoured blades of the Taco Shell Tong securely grips and molds tortillas (up to 6-inches) into a classic U-shape taco shell while they cook to a crispy golden brown. The open-wire blades allow cooking oils to drain away quickly so shells are perfectly crisp with a grease-free crunch. The longer offset handle rests securely on the edge of fryers and pans and keeps hands safely away hot oils. Easy to use. Simply open the blades and place a small tortilla inside. Press the handles together to mold the U-shape, continue to hold handles closed and submerge the tortilla into hot oil until desired crispiness is achieved. Drain cooked shells on a paper towel then pile high with taco fixings, like beef, fish, beans, veggies, grated cheeses, pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream, and other and taco toppings. A must-have of kitchen essentials and cooking tools for every taco enthusiast. Easily fry flour, corn, gluten-free or paleo tortillas into fresh, crispy taco shells for homemade fish tacos, beef or veggie tacos, and more. Helpful hint. Whether it’s taco Tuesday with family or Cinco de Mayo with friends, making taco shells in advance and reheating as needed ensures for stress-free indoor and outdoor entertaining. Made from chrome-plated steel with stay-cool handle, HIC’s Taco Shell Tong is sturdy and durable. Hand wash in warm, soapy water.

Review: Cheap quality! - Cheap quality product. Not for real kitchen work. Doesn't make roti very well and the surface is too small.

The HIC Kitchen Taco Shell Tong in steel is nothing short of a game-changer for anyone who loves homemade tacos. From the moment I unboxed this utensil, I knew I was in for a treat, but like any good kitchen tool, it required a bit of personal customization to truly shine. First off, this tong is designed to make crisp, uniform taco shells by holding tortillas in a perfect taco shape as they fry. The steel construction ensures durability and even heat distribution, which is crucial when you're dealing with hot oil. Initially, I found that the tong's grip wasn't quite fitting into the basket of my deep fat fryer as seamlessly as I would've liked. However, with a minor modification - a slight bend in the handle for better leverage and fit - it worked like a charm. The real magic happens when you start frying. You can literally see your tortillas transform into golden, crisp taco shells right before your eyes without the hassle of flipping or adjusting them manually. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of burns from hot oil splatters. The shells come out with a perfect curve, ready to be filled with your favorite fillings, be it meat, veggies, or cheese. What sets this tong apart is its simplicity and effectiveness. It might seem like a small tool, but it elevates the entire taco-making process, making it accessible even for those less confident in the kitchen. After using it, I've noticed a significant decrease in waste since every shell is uniformly crisp, and there's less chance of breakage or uneven cooking. In conclusion, the HIC Kitchen Taco Shell Tong has indeed changed my life in the kitchen. It’s a must-have for any taco enthusiast looking to perfect their homemade taco game. Just be prepared to tweak it slightly for your specific fryer setup, and you'll be on your way to taco nirvana.
