Tortilla Warmer
Everyone hates cold tortillas. Keeping them warm con una toalla sort of works, pero se ve un poco feo. For under $5 you can pick up this insulated warmer from Walmart. ¡Adiós tortillas frías!

If you’re using a cutting board to make your tostones or patacones, ahórrate the time and mess with this simple gadget. This one is from Bed Bath & Beyond and we like it because of its jumbo size.

Tablet Stand
This is one product you’ll definitely use! Most of the recipes we use are either online or in digital cookbooks, so we use an iPad or Kindle in the kitchen todo el tiempo! This stand, from Amazon folds away for storage.

Instant Pot Pressure Cooker
This is seven pots in one, though personally, we like its pressure cooker function. The 24-hour delay start on this version sold at Target is perfect because it lets you program it ahead of time.
