Santa Fe Quesadilla Maker Review

I received this a few years ago as a Christmas gift from the in-laws. I must admit, I wondered how I would make room in my kitchen for something that would be a seldom-used appliance. Well, a few years later, this is a staple for my family. Each member can choose whatever they want for toppings. We make cheese, chicken and cheese, chicken and cheese and red onion and jalapeno's topped with sour cream and salsa...you name it. It's a great eat-as-the-kids-get-home-from-sports meal and I wouldn't live without one! In fact, when I got divorced & my husband received custody of the appliance...I had to get another one. I'll be purchasing another one for my son that just moved out...great Christmas present!
Santa Fe Quesadilla Maker Feature
- Cooks quesadillas in 4 to 5 minutes
- Fits tortillas up to 12 inches in diameter
- Nonstick cooking plates wipe clean; built-in drip tray
- Power and ready light; upright storage
- Includes recipes; 1-year limited warranty
For a quick and easy meal, this festive red machine fires up quesadillas filled with grilled veggies, barbecued chicken, or just plain old cheese in under five minutes. The cooking plates fit tortillas that are up to 12 inches in diameter and divide your quesadilla into six manageable sections during pressing. A power light illuminates when the unit is plugged in and a ready light lets you know when your quesadilla is done. The metal cooking plates are coated with nonstick Teflon so quesadillas lift easily out of the maker and cleanup is even quicker than cooking time. The maker also has a built-in drip tray that catches stray bits of melted cheese and filling ingredients. The quesadilla maker's handle stays cool to the touch for safe handling, and the whole unit locks together for compact, upright storage. The Santa Fe quesadilla maker comes with its own recipe book and is covered by a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

If you haven't had a freshly made, piping hot quesadilla, then you haven't experienced Mexican cooking at its most delicious. Easy to customize, and quick to make, they are a more flavorful alternative to the American grilled cheese sandwich. What do you have on hand: refried beans, salsa, corn, cheese, spinach, grilled chicken, roasted peppers? It's all about being creative and "winging it". There are no rules, be adventurous.

Great quesadillas - MJ - PA, USA
Gave this as a gift to my sister and it works really nice. It can get a bit messy if you over-stuff the quesadillas, but otherwise it is really easy to use and making quesadillas can be a breeze.
not versatile / hard to clean - Yavicleus - Williamsburg, Virginia, USA
Well, the plates do not come off easily, so it's hard to clean.
You can only make very thin quesadillas. Try to fit in anything other than a thin layer of cheese, and it squirts out everywhere.
Oh, and you can only make quesadillas with it. Don't try to get creative and make anything else, because it's just too thin.
If the unit had detachable plates, and the plates were deeper so that you could fit more goodies, it would be much better.
