I recommend this tool for anyone who loves making their own home-made hard taco shells. I bought this for my dad because we have a special family tradition taco night, but the process of making hard tacos was always a tedious one. This tool cut the time it takes to make all the shells in half! It's also a lot easier to submerge the tortillas into a pan of grease rather than using other standard tongs where the tortilla can easily slip out of grip. This contraption holds the tortilla firmly in place. I bought this for a very cheap price but it's a great value and doesn't seem to be cheaply made. Buy this and make your home-made tacos night easier!

It's a good concept, but it sticks to the shells and tears up during removal. Preheating the prongs in the oil before picking up the raw shells would help. I tried several ways to get them to stop sticking - putting the shell in the hot oil then quickly and awkwardly use the prongs to grab before rigidity of the shell started. It was awful - perhaps practice and time will make a change. But for now, it just a novalty item that's not used very often.

If you eat as much Mexican food as my family does, this tool saves you time and money. Plain tortillas are way cheaper than store-bought shells, and frying your own is authentic. This tool is fantastic for speedily dipping in the hot grease and aids in keeping the tortilla from breaking or falling apart. So glad to come across this on eBay.

This makes the taco shells much easier. I had to modify just a little so that the shells are not so opened that when you take a bite it isn't so wide. Other than that this was a great buy. The shells do NOT stick to the metal while cooking either so thats a huge plus in my book. Chicka the China the Chinese Chicken!
