Make Flat Tostones or Crispy Plantain Cups
Turn cooked plantain pieces into evenly pressed tostones or cup-shaped bites ready for your favorite savory fillings—all with one practical bamboo kitchen tool.
TWO PLANTAIN STYLES, ONE EASY-TO-USE PRESS
Making consistently shaped tostones by hand can be messy and uneven. This hinged plantain press gives you two pressing surfaces, making it easy to switch between classic flat rounds and bowl-shaped cups for creative appetizers.
The dual-sided design lets you prepare two different shapes without buying separate tools. Use the flat pressing side for traditional tostones or the molded side to create plantain cups that can hold meat, vegetables, seafood, salsa, or other fillings.
The extended handles provide leverage for pressing cooked plantain pieces with controlled, even pressure. When opened, the press measures approximately 15.35 inches long and offers a generous gripping area.
Keep your recipe traditional with flat, crispy plantain rounds, or use the molded cavity to create an edible cup. The cup shape adds room for toppings and makes a memorable presentation for appetizers, parties, and family meals.
Place a partially cooked plantain piece in the rounded cavity, keep your fingers clear of the hinge, and press the handles together using steady pressure. The matching mold helps form a hollow center for adding your preferred filling after cooking.
Use the flat pressing surface to gently flatten a partially cooked plantain piece. The broad panels help create a more consistent shape and thickness before the plantain is returned to the pan or fryer.
Prepare tostones for family dinners, snacks, celebrations, or restaurant-style appetizers at home. Fill the shaped cups with seasoned meat, shrimp, vegetables, beans, cheese, salsa, or your own recipe.

Results can vary depending on the size, ripeness, cooking time, and placement of each plantain piece. Evenly cut pieces generally produce more consistent results.
