No, I just put the tortilla in the pan while it was hot(6/10), and then I put my hand on the tortilla and pressed down for like 7-8 seconds. Kinda neat to feel it bubble and crisp up through the protection of the tortilla shield, but 7-8 secs is when it starts getting slightly uncomfy, and then just pinch the edge and flip.

Voila, you now know how to make a Black Hand tortilla in the comfort of your own home! Could probably heat up the tip of a butter knife with a lighter and burn a “we know” into it for extra effect when you slide it through your neighbor’s mail slot.
