Evaluation
The Perfect Tortilla Pan works well by all accounts. Of course it’s not going to be able to replicate the same taste as a fried tortilla, but having it baked to a golden brown will give it a nice baked flavor and will add to the taste of your meal, more so than using an ordinary taco shell or tortilla chips for dips and tacos.

If you love Mexican food then you’ll definitely want to add this to your kitchen so you can have these whenever you want. Some families have even been known to have “bowl night” where they try out a different bowl recipe each week as something new.
Final Perfect Tortilla Pan Review
The Perfect Tortilla Pan is getting a Try rating from us, based on how well people are saying it works, and how it can help make a fun and tasty meal for you and your family. Even if you turn ordinary taco night into taco bowl night it will be worth the price. It’s not rocket science here, they’ve just made a non-stick bowl in the shape of a fajita bowl, so all you have to do is drop the tortilla into it, and bake it as shown.
Our Recommendation
At the end of the day this isn’t your only choice when it comes to a tortilla baking pan, but it makes a strong case for itself. If you go with a cheaper than cheap set you find elsewhere you might not get the same sort of non-stick coating, so you might find that it sticks to the pan and doesn’t come out as good. If you liked this and wanted it when you saw the promo video, you’ll likely enjoy it and get a good amount of use out of it.
Agree totally – love it when somebody comes up with absolutely stupid, simple ideas that actually work! By stupid, I mean making us feel stupid for not having thought of it first.
Get out! I was thinking about the same thing for weeks now. This means I could have been making millions instead the guy in the video if I got the patent first hahaha~ All kidding aside, this is exactly what I wanted for the longest time. I don’t want to feed my family anything that’s fried in oil, so this is really just the perfect solution for this mommy. A happy mommy btw 🙂
