Elite Cuisine 11" Quesadilla Maker EQD-118

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had my first chicken Quesadilla in a restaurant we went to a couple of weeks ago and i loved it so i thought why not buy a Quesadilla maker and make them at home!!! Si went out and bought a Elite Gourmet 8 inch Quesadilla maker and i made breakfast ones with sausage, scrambled eggs and cheese and 8 inch wheat Quesadilla shells and they were awesome!!! If you want to make them at home buy the Elite Gourmet maker, great for breakfast or just a snack, you can put just about anything you want in them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this quesadilla maker because I love Quesadillas but I am not good at making them in a skillet or anything like that. I wasn't really sure, if having one of these would make it more easier, or if it would be complicated as some appliances are. This without a doubt, has to be one of the easiest kitchen appliances ever to operate. Literally, I chopped up some chicken breast and cooked them in a skillet (although for future reference, I now know to shred the chicken instead of using chunks or cubes of chicken breast), then I sauteed some fresh chopped onions and bell peppers, plugged in the Quesadilla maker and waited for the light to tell me it was ready, then... I laid one tortilla on the bottom plate of the quesadilla maker, topped it with chicken, onions, bell pepper and shredded cheese, then placed the other tortilla on top of that, closed the lid, let it cook for like 4-5 minutes and then it was done and was perfectly cooked. When it was finished, I used tongs to grip the edge of the quesadilla and pull it onto my plate. Then I used a pizza cutter to cut it into triangles. After that, all I had to do was sit and enjoy it. The only issue I had with this was that it says not to unplug it unless the green light is off, but the green light kept coming back on frequently enough that I had trouble catching it when the light was off. Other than that, this is seriously one if the easiest appliances to use and I am so happy that I can now enjoy quesadillas any time I want. Another thing that I absolutely love about this is that when you are not using it, it stands upright for easy and more compact storage. I am always needing things that do not take up much space in my kitchen; so this is definitely a blessing. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone I know.
