Fox Run Brands™ Taco Press

This works great if you have a deep fryer or are frying in a pot, I usually fry in an inch or two in pile and it is not made for pan frying as cannot get the shell submerged properly in oil based on design

Made my taco shells even and easy to fill. Would purchase again, also great for gifts.

I have lived in SC since 1983. Mexican food here is a predominant disappointment. I am from Texas. One of my favorite meals is crispy corn tacos. No flour for me! I have tried store bought taco shells and they always taste stale. I have tried all type of ways to make a taco shell out of corn tortillas, and burn the shell or myself, by trying to put foil in between to create the shell shape. This Taco Press is a dream! Just put the corn tortilla between the wedges, dip in hot oil, for a short time, you be the judge. Then pull out, turn over to where the shell stands up over the paper towels and you have great taco shells. You can also let your oil cool down, and either cover it with plastic wrap for the next day, or put it in a sealed container for another time. Because it's just a quick moment the dipping of the tortilla, no corn debris in the oil, so no burned pieces in the oil, like fried chicken,etc.

The tongs take getting used to. I needed to use more oil in the pan to be able to cover both sides of the tortilla. The tong handle is straight and does not bend flat into the pan. Once I added more oil I was able to make perfect crispy taco shells.

Bad design. Due to the angle of the bend, you can only fry one way in a frying pan. To avoid having to fry one side at a time and turning tortilla around mid cooking you have to use this in a deep fryer that is deep with oil. Or very deep oil in a dutch oven which is a giant wasted of oil.

The tool is designed to fit in a deep fryer, a really deep fryer. if you try to use a stove top pan you will only be able to cook one side. (right side) when you go to flip it to cook the left side the angle of the tool is such that it wont lay down in the pan. You will need a deep pan with about 6 -7 inches of oil to fully immerse the tongs. so disappointed, i hate frying corn shells by hand.

After making a little adjustment to narrow opening

I returned this item. In concept is a good idea. Until you realize how long frying one she’ll at a time will take and the amount of oil required. Not for me
