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).

Thanks. Someone had said on another forum that he said you must use a Comal at exactly 325°. I think he even linked the recipe.
So now my apologies to Rick Bayless.
And let me see if that cookbook is still on sale.
Good news. It was still on sale.
