Be careful the plantains are hot. This step is all about looking at the pictures for the following:
1) Toston Placement in Tostobueno
2) Smashing the plantain
3) Taking out of tostonera

The green plantain slices go in LENGTH WISE. The pictures make this very clear.

Picture five: Showing off your perfect cups . . . thank you very much!

Picture six and seven: Taking toston cups out of tostonera

As you take the toston cups, one by one out of the tostonera and before fry #2, quickly dip the plantain cup back in the cold water. This will make the plantain pieces crispy when refried. And that is Tip #3

And Finally The Second Fry: THREE MINUTES.
Always remember to be careful when frying.
