As a Puerto Rican growing up eating fried plantains just like this! i never thought twice to crush them in the plantain skins!! THANK YOU!!!! :D
Di only ting I know in spanish is “Taco bell” 😂🤣😂😂😂I was dead💀big up Jamaica 🇯🇲 mi luv it
Even tho I’m Dominican 🇩🇴😂
big up yourself 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇩🇴🇩🇴
Your nationality is Dominican because Dominican is not a race
Kendall xo yeah...just like Jamaican Is a nationally and not a race. I never said my race was dominican...I would sound so stupid 😂😅
@@cocoaxo You can read?
That's it, I'm buying a Plantain Crusherer ( tostonera plantain press ) immediately : ) Great video, Love it!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching our videos. We have many more for you to choose from.
i need to stop watching cooking videos when I'm hungry
Shalini Vijayekumar lol! the best comment so far!!
Chew a little paan while watching.
Forget this goal. It's not possible
you and me both😫😂🤣🤣
I guess that's the only time we do
Thank you brother. I am latino and I was in Jamaica for vacation and the love was real. I see how that’s how real Jamaicans are. Thank you for your channel. Respect! Ya Mon Respect!
Much Blessings to you sir! Thanks for visiting my beautiful island.
This is exactly how us Puerto Ricans make it. And yes, I cannot be without my "Tostonera" greatest invention ever.
SandyD what type of oils do you all use because that's a lot of oil I'm curious ?
I’m African American and I’ve been in love with these things since I was a child!! Lol my auntie is Puerto Rican and showed me how to make them. Never forgot the recipe.
I tried and it kind of had a fried potato taste, is that about right? or did I mess it up lol
joekunedo you cannot mess this up. Make sure the plantains are very green and deep fry for at least 5 minutes on each side.
sOn flower sorry I’m
Responding now. I just saw this. The amount of oil is OK. Corn and Vegetable are the best for frying.
Nice one. I learnt one way of preparing unripe plantain. In Ghana, we do so many things with green (unripen) as well as the ripened ones.
Ghanaians use the ripened plantain to prepare something similar to what you've done.
Oooohhh, our kind of food; I mean, the black man's food, we can go on and on, till day breaks.
Thank you for your endeavours.
🖒🖒🖒💟💟💟
Excellent recipe and I like your step-by-step instructions! Made them last night and they turned out so good! Thank you for sharing!!!
I really love how you make those plantations the presentation is lovely my husband and kids will love this
jennifer annunciacao I hope it turns out great!! Thanks for watching. Subscribe for more
I went for Chinese take out...and I saw the Chinese people doing tostones...they r in another level...read this...with a CLEAVER they smashed and
Straight to the oil...no fuss..no mess...same results delish...
Different strokes for different folks! As long as the result is to your liking, the methods can be varied. My motto says it all, "Tun Yuh Hands Mek Fashion" meaning use what is available to you and make something great from it!!
I make these in coconut oil and then add some cinnamon and honey. They are delicious 😋
Sounds great! I will have to try this version!!
That's a yummy idea thank you!
Such a great video! Thanks for making this! This step by step guide will make it super easy for me to enjoy this in my home many miles away and I thank you. Bless up!
You are most welcomed. Please feel free to watch my other videos as well.
Use a cup to squash them or a bottle of glass where the garlic comes in
I had this at The Jerk Hut Restaurant in Tampa Florida a few years ago for the first time,I loved them. Thanks for showing me how to make these. I cant wait to eat these again.
This is beautiful Thankyou. I live in a tropical area in Australia and have lots of plantain bananas everywhere. ❤️❤️I can’t wait to try this beautiful Jamaican recipe
the crushinator used for crushinating
+TheGomjabar Lol! I get carried away with my own words some times. oops
Fry plantains is my favorite I grew eating it , I have a plantain crusher that I bought when I went to my country to visit 🇩🇴 and is the best, nice & easy , they sale it in New York too .food looks so good 😊
Thanks much!!
I loved the way you say diagonally.... thank you for this video. Bless🙏
Great video! I found my crusher at Walmart in Southern California.. The plantains can be found in the Asian markets too. Also another way I crush the plantains is between the folds of a paper bag. Thanks for sharing.
jdthknowles4 great! my mom crushed them in the skins. Walmart has everything! lol!
side ways me boy,dont try to change our language lol.respect man
Renaldo Soleyn nuff blessings me genna
Another great video. Your an ambassador for foodies and Jamaica. God bless always!
I appreciate that. Bless up
I would use my tortilla press to crush the plantains. Also, I put wax paper on the bottom and then a piece over the top and theres no mess to clean up once done.
chadzwife1 good idea...
I sometimes make my plantains by adding nutmeg or ground cinnamon also just delicious.
I am an American but learned how to cook plantains from my good friend from Ghana.
This was lovely. I never in my life saw this before. But my house was bare with plenty green plantains.
My kids enjoyed this as well
Glad you enjoyed it!
I could listen to your awesome accent all day 👍👍
I use the bottom of a jar to crush them . The leftovers I chop and add to scrambled eggs for breakfast .
As long as they get crushed! that's the important thing!! Thanks for watching my video. Hope you get to see others from my channel.
Thank you for all your tips! ❤Looks so good!!!
I love my fellow Jamaicans on UA-cam 😂
Greetings from the United States, I got ahold of some ripe plantains the other day, might get a tortilla press to smash them, then go through your steps of refrying them...yum!
Sounds great!
Great video. I'm going to make me some plantains.
Date bars
Nutty Bar i
I love that ending work out thy salvation with fear and trembling ...praise the Lord !!!!!
Making some green plantain with oxtail tonight. Needed a reminder course. Thank you.
Hope it turned out well! Enjoy!!
plantain crusherrer😂😂😂 great video
LifeasKen i know right....i need one
Thank you so simple love green plaintains
Thank you Yardie!!! I am craving some plantains , bought some today. Can't wait to fry them up just like you made them
Hello! Great video! I learned a lot! I did not understand what you said was on your plate. It looks good!
You could pre boil it before fry it you can use the potatoes mashed to do it’s as well am trying it for my husband dinner tomorrow I don’t have a Tostones crusher
Excellent I grew up hearing the word tostony when mom fry and press it out,very delicious
Wonderful
Clever idea smash the plantain with the peeled skin.
Recently discovered these cooking bananas and can't stop eating them! (Just had some with fried sausages and avocado salad...mmm)
I just don't crush them & prefer the firm texture
You can also use a small.plate to flatten. If stuck add a bit of oil to bottom of plate
love how you make your plantations I definitely will try this
Thanks so much...
Recently I found Out that Green Plantain can Fry and Crunch.
Found Out at A Restaurant. Taste Well
So good!
We call it PATACONES in Costa Rica and Chile. Made the same way. Big up ya self yardy ya dun kno!
En Colombia también…
Very nice receipt Just made it this day Here in Ecuador they do some of greennplaintain as para on but dry and hárd to eat U make nice soft very tasty Love this way of cooking
Hope you enjoy
I laff outloud when I hear "The only thing I can say in Spanish is taco bell." Btw, XLNT tostones demo. ; )
Could you make a video of how to make that green sauce for dipping? Thanks for your great recipes and videos!
I'm about to try this recipe now my friend. I hope I win the plantain crusher lol.
Thanks. I picked up 2 Plantain for my first experence with Plantanos.
I tried this with a single green Plantain. My first try was I could taste the salt - I must have used too much salt. I didn't taste much sweetness at all. BUT, it was an interesting experience. Now, I used our Fry Daddy and deep fried (in vegetable oil, Wesson Oil) the Plantain in the used oil we use for French Fries that maybe was the reason for little sweet taste.
I have one more Plantain that I am going let well ripen and try this for a second time. Looking for the sweet taste.
Ok so we use the green plantains for this recipe which are not sweet at all. The ripe ones cannot be pressed because they get soft when fried. tostones are different from fried ripe plantains
Need one of those plantain crushers for sure!
Nice they do this in South America alot and Mexico nice video
Bless up...just learn about your channel
Much respect for watching
I was born today when I found out they have plantain crusher, Look here, "SHAUNA! Pass mi a malta backle deh!" lol
Lol yummy AND if we want to Mexicanise we could call it ‘platanos refritos’ refryed plantin. Planting delicious whichever corner of the world we land. I must go cook and eat now. Tank yu
great little vid, thanks
I sprinkle with cinnamon and powder sugar. With the blackened plantains
you do that with the green ones? I thought that actually work with the ripe ones!!
@@YardieBelly no the green ones don't pair well with sugar.
@@nosmoke247 I figured as much!
I really love Ur narrative mate... It gave me a huge smile...thank u so much
Much Blessings bossman
“The only thing I know in Spanish is Taco Bell” Lmaooooo
Thanks I'm making today!
Yeah buddy I made em just like you said and used the skin to press that was a great idea they came out great with the chicken beans jicama slaw we put on top
Wow, I had to pause the video and go get one of those pressers😁! I always had problems with them breaking up, so I'm excited! Oh, and it was under $10 at Walmart😉!
You know him a real Jamaican when he said contraption lol
I have to admit that Crusherer is a new one on me. Good job buddy I enjoyed it, now I'm going to go make me some now, and for the record, I will be using some wax paper to do my crushing on this particular Sunday morning, God bless!!
just bought some thank u thank u so much
Show de bola parabéns 👍🏻
I will try this recipe later, love over ripe plantains, will this a try.
nice, our platonos tonight was a failure, bad plaintains, never had that happen before. Thanks for sharing, I never made tostones before because Grandmama would always make them for us or cut them into chips. Will try it next time, looks good.
Ana Larson if it turns out bad just try again. I get my plantains at the Latin supermarkets they are usually fresher. Hope you try again and keep me posted on the results.

Here's a link to buy the crusher. make sure that the plantains are cooked through before crushing them. A knife should go through them easily so you will know that they are ready
Best video! Very easy to understand. Thank you so much!
You had me cracking up the only spanish word is taco bell 😆
luv this video. Looks so delicious and a good plate of food.Thank You so very much and Now I Know how to cook plantains. Good Video I give a Thumbs Up!
Cool crusher, great vid!
Big ups mon!!! lmao I watched several videos about tostones which were also helpful but this video was most helpful!!! maybe because i also Jamaican and i understood everything right off the back!!! overall, thanks for everything
Thank you for the instructions. I never knew. Please tell me which type of oil you use in the pan.
Sorry for the late response. I use to use canola oil but now I've switched to peanut oil because I researched the canola oil and found out it wasn't as healthy as they said. Please share my videos and thanks.
my bf is Dominican and his daughter used a metal one from back home. she pressed it first then fried it and added salt
Looks beautiful 👍
Those plantains look tasty and that tostonera seems quite handy
Really helpful, thank you
You're welcome!
I love tostones!!
It's so good
I want to be a lucky winner in getting a Jamaican plantain crusher!
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
I always see mommy use the bottom of a cup or bottle to press the plantains and I'm Jamaican always my mom would say pressed not crushed but these came out great.
Different methods same result. that's the good thing about home cooking, we do it how we can...
@@YardieBelly true
It’s called plantain masher on Amazon
Thank you for showing your green -fried plantain video. I am going to try and see if I can find a Tostonera in the Los Angeles Latinos stores. I am used to using the banana skin and hand also but this seems to be much more work and it does not comes out as flat as when the Tostonera is used.
You will definitely find it in L.A. Thanks for watching.
“Cuz they will burn and if they burn my wife will cuss me if they burned” ctfuuu biggups my yardie bredren! 🇯🇲

I cant believe some people never heard of a plantain crusher? They sell them in jamaica & miami(flea market)lol ...i see people sending them as christmas to each other & they both shocked when they both got them(@ the same time) ...enjoy them ya'll
😂😂😂 It was new to me till I started shopping in the Latin supermarkets! I use to use the skins of the plantain to crush them
A pastelle press will work well to flatten the plantains
T-o-s-t-o nerrrraaaa

First time I'm watching your video and I want that crusher.
Love the love. Keep up the good work!
