Elite Gourmet EQD-118 11" Quesadilla Maker, Easy-Slice 6-Wedge, Red

I love this! Easy to use and easy to clean! It made cooking fun for the family and for a great price. Exactly what I wanted!

I like it. Perfect size. Heats fast. I make myself a dang quesadilla right before I feed my Llama.

This quesadilla maker is great. Easy and quick to make something up quick. Great purchase

This Quesadilla Maker does work. However, I couldn't get the lid to stay open by itself as pictured. I had to ask my husband to hold the lid while I made the Quesadilla. It did make good Quesdillas. However, they were a little dry and brittle. I sprayed a little oil and water under the bottom one and on the top one before pressing. The wraps came out considerably better that way. The grease catcher seems to be a little useless as I can't imagine what it's supposed to catch. The instructions come in Spanish... so, if I'm doing something wrong, I have no idea. The picture where the parts are numbered and identified is in English... weird... rest is in Spanish with no English version to go with it. So, if you have had one before and know how to use it properly, this will work for you. It is attractive. As far as I can tell, it does not disassemble for washing. It wasnn't difficult to wash though. Couldn't immerse the thing in water, but it was easy to wash up with a soapy rag and then hold each side in the water for rinsing. Getting the whole thing out of the pan and on to a plate was a bit difficult. I guess I need a larger spatula to hold the thing together. Cut nicely though once on a serving plate. I would not recommend this as a child friendly appliance as I feel it's easy to spill or burn yourself when assembling or removing your Quesadilla. I had the idea that my grandsons might enjoy making their own snacks with this... I don't think so, though. I'll make them for them at least until they're more coordinated!! Right now they're still in that awkward stage where they don't seem to know where their hands and feet end and begin, always tripping over things or knocking things over.

Purchased as a gift. Receiver uses it multiple times week for over a year and loves it.

Looks and works like it should

I got rid of my old Santa Fe quesadilla maker because the plastic latch on the top had gotten brittle and was cracking and crumbling off; otherwise, it still worked perfectly. Now I wish I had it back. I tried to order a replacement on Amazon and the Santa Fe brand wasn't available - I was recommended this one instead. Problem #1: The first time I used it, I prepared the quesadillas the way I always had and apparently this quesadilla maker isn't as deep because all the cheese squished out the sides creating a huge mess. Which led to problem #2. The next time I used it, I didn't put as much filling in the quesadillas, but it still cooked out and ran over the sides. It's just not deep enough to make a good quesadilla. Problem #2: This quesadilla maker is NOT easy to clean up. It is coated with a non-stick surface (of sorts) but it is definitely not completely non-stick. There was LOTS of sticking! Also, it has a drip catcher and the outer edge has a groove to catch the grease and melted butter, but there isn't enough decline on the groove and the melted butter and grease just sit in the groove. It doesn't run down toward the drip hole. Once the quesadilla maker is cool enough to clean it, all the grease has solidified. I ended up having to spray it down with soapy water and use a wooden kebab skewer to clean out where it had overflowed into the sides of the quesadilla maker. Problem #3: The third time I used it the plastic latch popped off as I was unlatching it when the quesadilla was done. I tried to put the latch back on when the machine cooled down but I can't get it to go back on. I can't tell if it's broken or if it's because the plastic was more pliable when it was hot and now that it's cooled it is too stiff. Regardless, I can't get the latch back on so the quesadilla maker is useless to me right now. I looked up my order and the return window closed 2 weeks ago (figures!) or I would have returned it. I am NOT satisfied at all with this product.

Review revised and star rating increased to 3/5. It took 6 weeks, but customer support did eventually replace the broken item. I will give them credit for honoring their warranty and standing behind their products. Original Review: I purchased the quesadilla maker and was able to use it for about 10-15 times before the latch broke. The latch appears poorly constructed with very thin plastic that apparently does not hold up to heat very well. I contacted customer support within the warranty period to see if they could send a replacement latch, but after several weeks and multiple emails, I still have a broken product and no customer support. The non-stick coating also does not hold up very well over time. I would definitely look at other brands if you are in the the market for a quesadilla maker.

Satisfied

Just great

We love chicken quesadillas and use this at least once a week. It works very well and is a good size for the larger 10-inch tortillas. I am giving it 5 stars even though there are a couple of improvements I would like to see. There is no on-off button. You just have to plug it in and unplug it. You have to keep checking the quesadilla as there is nothing to tell you when it is done. The metal plates are non-stick so very easy to clean in that way, but I wish they were detachable for better ease of access for cleaning. In spite of these, I would buy it again and would recommend it. I love it!

Works great but the catch that holds the lid down keeps falling off.

This quesadilla maker is great! Just read the manual and don’t over stuff your fillings, you only need a little bit. Middle is chewy and outside is crispy. Leaves toasty marks so you can see where to cut apart with a pizza cutter. Makes little sealed pie shaped pockets. All these people who say the thing broke or they put their hand through it(!?) must be stuffing it with an inch of fillings and standing on it. Haha Anyways, go ahead and order it without reservation, it works great and makes delicious quesadillas!
