Abstract
The open end of a cylindrical or dome shaped cover closed at the other end fits snugly within the raised outer rim of a flat base formed of a heat transmitting material such as metal. A holder structure, preferably of lightweight metal supportable on the base to be enclosed within the cover, has one or more lightweight plates that are the approximate size and shape of a standard tortilla disposed in a roughly horizontal attitude one above the other. The base beneath the plates has concentric shallow liquid retaining areas to hold small amounts of water that can be heated and turned to steam to warm the tortillas and keep them pliant. Heat insulating handles on the cover and base permit the entire assembly to be placed over the heating element on a stove.
