Brentwood TS-257R 10 in Electric Tortilla & Taco Bowl Maker - Red, 750W, Fits 8 in and 10 in Tortillas

Brentwood TS-257R 10 Inch Electric Tortilla and Taco Bowl Maker

The taco salad bowl is the best part of the meal and the one thing you cannot buy fresh. The Brentwood TS-257R presses a plain flour tortilla into a crisp, edible bowl in minutes - 750 watts, up to 430F, and a locking lid that does the shaping for you. Taco salads, tostada bowls, dessert bowls for ice cream, and appetizer cups for dips all come out of the same machine.

Key Features

• Makes an Edible Bowl in Minutes: Drop in a tortilla, close the lid, and it presses and crisps into a rigid serving bowl. Restaurant presentation on a Tuesday.
• Fits 8 Inch and 10 Inch Tortillas: Small tortillas make appetizer and dessert cups; big ones make a full taco-salad bowl. One machine covers both.
• 750 Watts, Up to 430F: Hot enough to actually crisp the tortilla rather than steam it soft, which is what a low-wattage press does.
• Locking Lid Latch: The lid latches down and holds the shape while it crisps - you are not standing there pressing it.
• Cool-Touch Housing: The outside stays safe to handle while the plates are at 430F.
• Power and Ready Indicator Lights: You know when it is on and when it is up to temperature. No guessing, no burnt first tortilla.
• Non-Slip Base and Cord Storage: It stays put on the counter and the cord wraps for storage, so it lives in a cabinet without a tangle.

Perfect For

Taco Tuesday, taco-salad night, party appetizer cups filled with guacamole or queso, dessert bowls for ice cream and churro bites, kids' cooking projects, game-day spreads, and anyone who has tried to shape a tortilla over an upside-down oven-safe bowl and produced something structurally unsound. It is a fun, low-risk gift for a Tex-Mex household.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need to oil the tortilla first?
A: It has non-stick cooking surfaces, so it is designed to work without heavy oiling. A very light brush of oil will give you a crisper, more golden bowl if you want one.

Q: What sizes of tortilla fit?
A: 8 inch and 10 inch. Corn tortillas are smaller and more brittle than flour, so flour tortillas are the reliable choice for a full bowl.

Q: What is included in the box?
A: Brentwood does not publish a box-contents list for this model, so we do not enumerate one. The unit itself is the product.

Q: Is there a Prop 65 warning?
A: Yes, and it is worth reading carefully. Brentwood's AB 1200 disclosure for this model group lists N-methylpyrrolidone as the Proposition 65 chemical - not nickel, which is the more common one on their appliances. PFAS (PTFE / PFA / FEP) is also disclosed for this group.

Q: Can it make dessert bowls?
A: Yes. A flour tortilla dusted with cinnamon sugar makes an excellent ice-cream bowl - it is one of the more popular uses.

Care & Use

Unplug and let it cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the non-stick plates with a soft damp cloth - never scour them and never use metal tools inside the unit. Do not immerse the appliance in water.

California Proposition 65 / AB 1200: Brentwood discloses that this model group contains N-methylpyrrolidone (Proposition 65-listed), along with aluminum, phenol, PFAS (PTFE / PFA / FEP) and carbon black.

Wrap the cord into the built-in cord storage before putting it away.
