"On the one recipe I have seen of his, he said you must have this exact pan at a precise temperature to make corn tortillas. That right there tells me that he either hasn't made many corn tortillas, he uses a restaurant kitchen or he is setting his followers up for frustration.
Now yes, he is partially correct. You do need a very hot cast iron pan. But not exact and precise. It was the wording that turned me off completely. Not where he is from or his heritage."
Do you remember where you saw him say this? I was curious and googled "Rick Bayless corn tortillas". I found his printed recipe/instructions and a youtube video. In what I found he never says you need an exact pan (just either a griddle or 2 skillets) or a precise temp (just med and med-high).
