Common Uses: flattening par-fried plantain slices into tostones, pressing patacones, shaping mariquitas-style discs for second fry, prepping plantain cups for relleno fillings.
Pantry Role: prep line staple for any kitchen that fries plantains regularly.
Common In: Cuban home kitchens, Puerto Rican and Dominican households, Caribbean and Latin American cooking across South Florida and Cuban-American households nationwide.
