Can I cook tortillas with an household iron? I am in a hotel room and trying to make

[zonkers]

quesadillas. (on edit)I was thinking maybe I could use wax paper so it would not stick. DU cooking pros, what do you think

1. I doubt you have anything to keep them from

sticking to the iron...if they don't stick to the iron I don't see why they could not be heated that way...how ingenious!

4. Ironing them wrapped in foil would work.

2. If it's a teflon-coated iron, I'd say yes.

Just make sure the steam setting is OFF. Should work just fine.

3. Use wax paper or aluminum foil -

no steam, should work just fine! Good luck and let us know how they turn out. Yum! :hi:

5. I will be experimenting tomm. and post results.

7. There's no Taco Bell in this place?

Where exactly are you staying?

8. Do not use wax paper (wax melts at 140 degrees and will start smoking)

Iron will work fine - set the iron between cotton and linen. Any crud can be scrubbed off with steel wool when you're done.

11. That reminds me of elementary school when one of our common art

activities was to press leaves and flowers between wax paper - I'm pretty sure we used an iron to seal it up. Those quesadillas would be permanently preserved... :)

9. I don't see why not. If it doesn't work, use the exhaust manifold of your rental car.

10. When I think of other people's clothing (washed and unwashed) that iron may have been used on....

on edit:

As long as it's YOUR own personal iron, would give it a go! If it's the motel's iron..... :yoiks:

12. When I was in college, we made grilled cheese sandwiches using irons.

We'd buy cooking spray (like Pam), cheese and bread. Take that, overly restrictive dorm rules!

13. Use the bed to distribute the heat. Be sure the iron is on high.

14. Don't know about quesadillas

But Johnny Depp cooked grilled cheese sandwiches with an iron in Benny & Joon.

16. Iron Chef are we now?
