Red Clay Comals

Lime serves as a non-sticking agent and can be found at Mexican grocery stores or online. Simply apply lime with a brush to a cold Comal platter, put in oven to dry and you're ready to cook. This does not need to be done after every use, only when lime begins to crack or fade. The Comal should not be washed after every use, but rather, put back in the stove or fire to char leftover food and brushed off. To prevent cracking, do not expose Comals to extreme temperature changes.
