The comal is a versatile griddle used in Mexican cooking, with a similar type of cookware called budare used in South America. It is not ideal for dishes with a lot of sauce and is cared for similarly to cast iron skillets. It has been used since the pre-Columbian era and is often passed down as an heirloom.
A comal is a griddle that has traditionally been used in Mexican cooking. The term comal is believed to come from the Aztec word comalli, which was also used to describe the cooking tool. It is a very versatile cooking tool that can be used to prepare numerous dishes. It can be used for searing meat, cooking tortillas, and even curing spices. It can also be used to roast raw coffee and cocoa beans so they are ready for culinary use.
There is a similar type of cookware which is used in South America. Instead of being called comical, in South America, pots are called budare. Culinary history indicates that comedian has been used in the region that is present-day Mexico since the pre-Columbian era. Early comics were mostly used to cook corn tortillas. The cooking was done over an open fire.
Upon seeing a comedian for the first time, a person used to European-influenced Western cooking would probably think he was looking at a cast iron skillet. The designs are quite similar. The differences are that a comedian is as thick as a lower lip than a cast iron skillet, meaning that he has a shallower pit.
Unlike cast iron skillets, comics aren’t ideal for making stews or dishes cooked with a lot of sauce. Also, many comedians don’t have the kind of pan handles that cast iron skillets have. Instead, they might have only two short handles or no handles at all.
Although the first comic was used many centuries ago, this type of Mexican griddle has been adopted as an invaluable tool in many modern kitchens. The comics being made today are designed to fit on a modern stove. The round ones are sized to fit just one burner. There are also oval varieties designed to fit two burners on the stove.
Caring for comics is quite similar to caring for cast iron skillets. Cast iron needs to be kept seasoned, which can be done by rubbing olive oil all over its surface after cleaning it. As comics progress, just like cast iron skillets, they become more effective cooking tools because they heat up quicker and are easier to cook with. For this reason, in many families, it is traditional for a comedian to be passed down through the generations as an heirloom.
