Made a different recipe today and I like. Added lard to the recipe. I think next time I'll try butter to see which I like better. The recipe can be found here: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016122-almost-from-scratch-corn-tortillas Tip: Make the tortillas thin especially if they are going to be used for chips. After making the tortillas spray both sides with oil and sprinkle with salt and whatever spices you'd like. Stack the tortillas. Cut into 6 wedges. Spread on baking sheet so that the wedges do not touch each other. Bake @350 F for about 20 mins. Be careful not to burn them. If need be sprinkle with more salt while they are still very hot. While you are waiting for dinner to cook and a few as an appetizer with some salsa.

My KK Super Jr hence forth named Prometheus. Prometheus a Titan in Greek mythology. Prometheus stole fire from Olympus for the benefit of humanity. Prometheus also tricked Zeus into eternally claiming the inedible parts of cows and bulls for the sacrificial ceremonies of the gods, while conceding the nourishing parts to humans for the eternal benefit of humankind (steaks). TY JayhawkPharmer from Kamado Guru for such an appropriate name.

Made a dozen corn tortillas and then turned them into chips. Let's start dressing up these tortilla chips- Top it off with some cheese- 35 mins. on the grill at 325F -350 F - Plated-

Prometheus a very appropriate name.Will post a naming thread shortly.

I never make plain rice - only pilaf. I pull out the insert and put it on my stove burner and saute the onions, garlic, spices, brown the rice, etc in olive oil and then put it back in the cooker with the requisite liquid. I have to watch it carefully while on the burner and stir frequently since its like a cheap aluminum pan but the results are well worth the effort. It's only a few minutes in the beginning that you have to pay attention getting it started and then you're home free in terms of having it perfect at the time of serving.

I have a small cheapie one too. Love it. I think it was less than $10 You could say it is the Akorn Jr of rice cookers - LOL
