T-fal Simply Delicioso SM171962 Nonstick 1,200-Watt Arepa Maker, Black



More like a Colombian Arepa which is what we wanted
This arepa maker is exactly what we were looking for. As other reviewers noted the arepas are thin and not like the Venezuelan style arepa. While slightly thicker than the Colombian arepa it is more similar to Colombian style arepa than the thicker Venezuelan style. They still can be slit open and stuffed but care needs to be taken. Why 4 stars? As another reviewer noted the handle lock seems a bit flimsy but time will tell if it will hold up to use. The unit heats up very quickly and makes a great evenly baked arepa with a crispy exterior in 6 min. In our view it was worth the purchase.

Best arepas ever!
Very good product. I prepare Colombian style arepas and they came out just perfectly "golden" and crispy both sides.
I truly recommend it.

Over-heated
I had high hopes for this arepa-maker but was sorely disappointed. It got way too hot burning the arepas before they were entirely cooked. Also, the construction is not sound. Lid is wobbly. Needless to say, I returned it. Refund was prompt.
