Today's Item: Perfect Tortilla pans
Ok so I don't really cook, DH does most of it, but I do the shopping and taco night is a must. For a long while I had been avoiding shells, chips and tortillas but I was granted special metabolic powers through pumping BM, so carbs were back on the menu. I didn't want to regress fully to greasy taco shells ala my middle school cafeteria, so it seemed Perfect Tortilla pans would be the perfect way to jazz up my sad pile o'lettuce, meat and cheese. I proudly brought them home and said "DH, cook my taco!"
We followed the directions and it was...not perfect. Fucking advertising! Perhaps my wheat flour tortillas were too dry to be baked like that. But could I find large corn tortillas? No! Not at my store. But then I did find some Aztec tortillas in the refrigerated section. They come with little cardboard cutouts to make the bowl shape! Whatever. You have to drape them over instead of setting the tortilla inside. We still use the pans though, because who has time for cardboard origami, but now DH will drape upside down instead of what I believe to be the correct way. So I'm constantly saying "DH, you're doing the taco wrong!"
Verdict: merely semi perfect tortillas
Any cooking inventions you swear by? Slap chop? Magic Bullet? That pasta pan? Ginsu knives?

Re: WDIBT?!?: Cook ware
We have a Magic Bullet. I'm not that crazy about it though. It's great for smoothies. I make them the morning before and then it's ready for me to go for breakfast. I use it to make pancake batter too, but that's about it.
And I wish I didn't get the Baby Bullet. I am not a fan. I wish I had an all in one steamer and blender when I was making his food. Also, it was always breaking!
I also wish I had every item in the Pampered Chef catalog.
