The irony of this conversation @dstr8 was that my first time tortilla flipper for New Year's was getting the puff and smashing down the tortillas because he thought it was a bad thing! I had to explain to him that he wouldn't find himself a Mexican husband if he didn't demonstrate his tortilla puff. I find that tortillas used straight from the heat tend to crack and that a few minutes rest in a hot, lidded dish gives them just the right flexibility. We went to a lot of trouble to heat up our tortillas on a griddle when we came to serve people at the party but I now wonder if it would not have been just as good to stick them in the microwave and wrap them in a towel to keep them warm and stop them drying out. A friend of ours has been re-heating his in a steam oven. He reports good puff on reheating and, more importantly, good eating. So, we have found lots of ways to puff but even when there is no puff a little rest seems to do the trick.

42" Baking Stone for sale Deer Park NY A customer's son wanted a 32" but ordered the wrong size baking stone,. They somehow did not read it clearly being labeled a 42" Baking Stone on the special shipping box which is cardboard outside, plywood inside and lots of foam (because they always get broken by UPS), opened it up.. and even after seeing it's the wrong stone, (it's two pieces not one) threw away the highly engineered original crate/box... Now, I'm now I'm the bad guy for politely telling them by phone call, I'm sorry they could not return it a homemade box. It will probably get broken on the return or going out to a new customer (at my cost). And of course, the new merchandise experience we work so hard on with our packaging would also be lost. He then actually had the audacity to post this bad review about it.. ARGH.. We gladly accept returns but they often need to be in the original packaging.. Especially grills and heavy objects with specialized packing. But I'd still like to help him sell it.
