flatev - The Artisan Tortilla Maker (flatev)
Over the last few years, several models of electric tortilla makers, along with quesadilla and empanada electric makers, have hit the market. While they help make the tortilla-making experience easier, one still has to do the most fundamental part of the whole process — make the masa, roll it into little balls and place on the tortilla maker — until now.
The next generation tortilla maker is due to arrive next year and it’s taking tortilla making to a whole new level. The flatev, the Artisan Tortilla Maker, is a counter-top machine that mimics one of the most ubiquitous small kitchen appliances found in many homes today – the single serve coffee maker.
The flatev takes away the measuring of flour, the fist-punching of the masa, the rolling into little balls and flattening them and singeing fingertips snatching them off hot griddles. In fact, the little machine, created by a Mexican and a Swiss, removes all the history and tradition that comes with making tortillas and replaces it with a single pod.
The recyclable tortilla pods come in flour, corn, cinnamon and chile flavored masa. Insert the pod into the machine and press start. After 90 seconds, one perfectly cooked, round tortilla slips into the warming tray below the machine. From the videos posted on the company’s Kickstarter campaign page, the tortillas taste as good as any slapped by hand.
