Tortilla Starter Kit

This is the kit you hand a line cook who’s never pressed masa and say figure it out. A press, corn, and the basics to get from nixtamal to tortilla without guessing at ratios or borrowing gear from three different drawers. Masienda built its name sourcing heirloom corn for chefs, so the corn in this kit isn’t an afterthought bolted onto a tool company’s press. Set it up near the plancha, keep a damp towel close, and work in batches so the masa doesn’t dry out between pressing and cooking. It’s built for repetition, the kind of station gear that gets used every service instead of sitting in a cabinet.
