16. Tostonera
No trip to Miami is ever complete without indulging in some Latin cuisine. And no meal, whether Cuban, Caribbean or Puerto Rican, is complete without some crisp tostones.

This mouthwatering dish is easy to make if you have the right equipment. After all, who can鈥檛 fry a flattened banana?! All you need is a tostonera, a plantain press. Made of wood, plastic or metal, a tostonera can be of two types: one for flattening the plantains after frying and the other for a more decadent stuffed and fried plantain. Either way, tostones or fritos, as they are also called, can be easily made and will help you indulge in some gastronomic nostalgia at home.
You can find tostoneras and other Latin cooking equipment, such as flan kits and empanada molds, at the charming Sentir Cubano, a Cuban memorabilia and food warehouse distinguished by lime green walls and bright murals depicting life in the Latin Quarter, painted by famed life artist, Tony Mendoza. You can also find this nifty kitchen helper at local supermarket chain, Sedano鈥檚 Marketplace. A tostonera will make a perfect gift for the chef and the fried food lovers in your life.
Price: $5.99 and up.
