What is a Quesadilla Maker?
A quesadilla maker makes quesadillas, obviously. So the first place to start is to define quesadilla. A quesadilla is a Mexican/Tex-Mex food. It evolved from a deep-fried empanada to a mixture of cheese and other ingredients folded into a flour tortilla and then baked or pan-fried until the cheese has melted. A quesadilla maker looks a little like a round waffle iron, in that it has a nonstick metal plate on its top and bottom. The halves are hinged together and close like a waffle iron. The quesadilla maker has some advantages over frying or baking quesadillas. It maintains a more constant temperature and browns both sides of the quesadilla evenly, eliminating the need to turn it in a frying pan or baking dish.
