Read First Before Buy Santa Fe QM2R 900 Watt Quesadilla
I have a cheese quesadilla fanatic for a husband and never could get his approval when it came to making his favorite at home. Tried the oven and broiler method and just ended up with either a soggy mess or a burnt beyond edible trash can item. Well, I happened to stumble upon this handy little item. Wow, has this made my life easier. Better yet, He can now make his own. It makes the most wonderful quesadillas ever. Just a few minutes in the machine and you have the perfect snack. They are sealed and have the perfect consistancy. And don't know why but stay warmer longer than others. I figure this is due to the sealing of the tortilla. I also love the separations in the cooker. It makes it so easy to serve and gives it a real professional look. I have also tried a few of the recipes that come along with the machine and they were just great. Give this maker a try. It really will make your life easier, whether it's for your quesadilla fanatic or for the kids afterschool snacks. Also, Stands on end so it's easy to store.

My family loves quesadillas and we used to try making them at home. They never turned out to our liking because they weren't very crispy. This product has made that little problem nonexistant. We also love how this appliance cuts and seals off our quesadillas so we can eat all of our yummy filling. It's also very easy to clean. The price and performance of this product is excellent!
BalasHapusI like this product. I am still playing around with different tortillas, as being gluten intolerant, I can only have 100% corn tortillas. Corn tortillas in this size are hard to find, but I have seen lots of the flour ones in this size. So far, though, stuff has turned out pretty darned good with this maker.
BalasHapusCatch this machine when it is on sale! It is so worth it. We use it weekly and make the best dang quesadillas ever. The machine crisps and browns the torillas to perfection. Easy clean-up, too.
BalasHapusI just love, love, love this quesadilla maker. I even have quesadilla parties so everyone can enjoy them. Since we purchased this one we have given them as gifts to a lot of other people. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
BalasHapusI just throw a tortilla on the quesadilla maker and don't even use any oil. Add some diced up chicken or steak (really good if you cook the meat on the BBQ), green and red peppers and onions and green chilis and jalepenos along with cheese and you are set. For the kids just use cheese and they are in heaven. Serve with sour cream and salsa and a margarita on the side
Making quesadillas with my new Salton Quesadilla maker is so simple. They are not greasy at all, which when making them in a pan is not the case. You can add healthy, fresh vegetables and chicken and 5 minutes later, dinner is served. The product works well and worth every penny. Have some fun with your family making all kinds of quesadillas!!
BalasHapusNapoleon Dynamite's grandma would be proud to own one of these! Works great. One little tip before you head to the grocery store... you must use the LARGE "burrito size" tortillas with this. If you try to use smaller tortillas like "taco size" or "fajita size," they won't extend out to the part of the grilling surface that seals the edges and your melting cheese will flow out the sides. The instructions say you must use a 10" diameter torilla. That's usually sold as "burrito size." I agree with Diane that an on/off switch would have been a nice feature, but it still works wonderfully.

BalasHapusThis Quesadilla maker lets you get creative with your quesadillas. Of course you can make quesadillas on the stove-top in a pan like some reviewers suggested...but this makes it easy, no-mess and you don't have to stand at the stove top to flip, so you can bring it to the table and have a tabletop party.
BalasHapusWhat I love is that I can make quesadillas with very little oil in this maker as opposed to stove top. The quesadillas come out crispy and with distinct segments that I can quickly cut with a pizza cutter. I love serving the wedges as snacks at cocktail parties, especially as they come out crispy and sealed and can be served as a finger food.
There is also no end to fillings. My favorites - 1) spinach/sundried tomatoes/cheese or 2)mushrooms/red peppers/grilled chicken/provolone cheese or 3)mashed potatoes seasoned with red onions/green chilli/cilantro/a dash of any good spice mix/a light sprinkling of cheese 4) roasted corn/red pepper/black beans/cheese 5) broccoli/chicken/cheese 6) spicy turkey mince cooked Indian "keema" style with green peas and tomatoes- as you can see the list of yummy ingredients goes on and on.
I just prep the surfaces with a quick spray of olive/canola oil and don't use much cheese. So much better than the calorie rich quesadillas you get in restaurants. You can even use any tasty leftovers/casseroles as stuffing for the quesadillas. My family and friends simply love the quesadilla parties where I lay out many ingredients and they can mix and match and make their own quesadillas.
Some tips: If you use cheese try using the natural cheese which creates less mess than the melting processed variety. Also buy the bigger tortillas so that the whole surface is covered and the edges are neatly sealed. If you must use a small tortilla, put less filling right in the center and go very easy on the cheese, or it will seep out and create a mess. If you do get a mess, it is very easy to clean it off with a damp paper towel right after you take out your quesadilla.
I love this product! Try it with the flavored tortilla wraps they have out now, I had a great spinach tortilla quesadilla with green chilis, awesome, after that I had to buy one for myself and I don't regret it. It preheats within five minutes, flop a full-size burrito tortilla or wrap on there, load it with fillings, throw another one on close the lid, let it heat and there you are: lunch in under fifteen minutes, it's that easy. Since I am very lazy about any sort of cooking, this has made my lunches so much more fulfilling. Another note, so far, none of the fillings I've used have stuck to the nonstick surface and it is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Just don't overfill the tortillas or they won't seal at the edges and the fillings will leak out.
