Tortilla Bakers -- bakets for salads, dips, etc.

Of course you can make your own tortilla baskets without any special equipment (as in draping them over an overproof bowl) but just wanted to share a fun item we purchased at The Cook's Nook in McPherson, KS. The set of two that we purchased were the "Nosttick Mini Tortilla Bakers" are just the right size for a taco salad.
Package directions suggest that besides a salad bowl, these bakers could be used for:
Baskets for dips
Bakets for chips
Baking bread such as brioche or make a bread bowl to hollow out for soups and dips
Creating molded gelatin desserts and salads

Tortilla Shells
Pan spray
Corn or tortilla shells at room temperature (or warm in microwave so they are flexible)
  1. Lightly spray Tortilla Shell Pans with pan spray
  2. .Place corn or small flour tortilla in each shell and carefully mold it to fit the pan.
  3. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan; then place on rack to cool completely.
  5. Fill with taco salad (or any salad for that matter, dips, chips or with whatever you desire.
