If you live in NJ you won’t have any issue finding a comal (or a cast iron skillet instead). Just ask for the nearest Latino or international store! You can also look online. I would also ask your Latino store grocer for fresh epazote and even any Farmer’s Market near you…

I live in New Jersey.
Where can I buy :
Cast iron tortilla press – good quality
comal

Thanks – you are the best. I have purchased your book and I am excited to try out everything vegetarian (no eggs).

Rather than cast iron, they are sheet metal (hoja de metal?). They seem to be the type pictured here in your blog but are more the type of metal that is formed into stainless steel pots and pans rather than the much heavier material that is used for cast iron skillets. I had been looking at them in the mercado for a long time and finally got the courage to get some after reading your blog. Thanks. Pat

I have one up already for making corn tortillas, I hope you check it out!

Since we are talking comals I was wondering if you have a recipe for flour tortillas and/or a video showing you making them?
I have to learn how to make them before my mom leaves this earth. no one makes them like her.
Thanks,
Ramon

Great! Just start using it! There is no need to ever have it over high heat. You should use it low, low-medium or medium heat. Before you use it, let it heat for a couple minutes. To wash, just lightly wash with soapy water. But don’t scrub it hard, that way it will begin to season. Best wishes for all the yummy things you will cook there!

Do I season it before using it? Any other hints how I should care for it? The package had no instructions.
Thanks!!

I am so thrilled for you!!! You are going to be able to make such scrumptious things using your new comal. Let it age and season and the more you use it, the more flavor you will get from it. Enjoy!
