Cold Hands, Warm Tortillas

Tortilla warmers are essential in any Mexican kitchen. Used to keep tortillas hot and fresh for up to 1 hour, they are also a festive decorative piece for fiestas and ordinary meals that need a little pop of color.

This month’s CrateChef box, featuring chef Pati Jinich, includes one vibrant IMUSA Cloth Tortilla Warmer. In Mexico, tortilla warmers have been used for centuries since the cultural bread is eaten yearround and served alongside most meals. They can also be used for pita bread, naan, or any other flatbread variation that fits. Our uncontroversial opinion is: the warmer the bread, the better. Always.

IMUSA is a leading ethnic houseware brand with deep roots in Latin America. In addition to tortilla warmers, the company offers plenty of distinctive kitchen gadgets including arepa makers, tortilla presses and chocolateras as well as more conventional tools and cookware.

A little kitchen gadget can go a long way. We hope this colorful tortilla warmer brightens your day and your kitchen table.
