A comal is one of the most basic and most useful tools in a Mexican kitchen. It’s a flat pan used for dry cooking: reheating tortillas, charring tomatoes and chiles, toasting dried chiles, nuts, seeds, and spices. You don’t need one to cook Mexican food, but if you cook tortillas often, it makes life a lot easier. People ask all the time: • Do I need a comal? • Can I use a skillet instead? • What’s the best material? Here’s the honest answer: any flat surface works. A skillet or griddle is fine.

Caring for your clay comal is key to unlocking the full potential of traditional Mexican cooking! 🌾 In this video, learn how to properly cure your comal with cal (hydrated lime) to ensure it cooks food evenly and adds incredible flavor over time. 🌶️✨ You can let the comal air dry overnight as opposed to placing it on the stove over low heat. With each use, your comal will only get better—just like the dishes you create on it 👩🏻‍🍳 My clay comal is from @masienda 🤎 #MexicanCuisine #ClayComal
