Helpful Tips; Care And Cleaning - George Foreman GFQ001 Use And Care Book Manual

hELPFUL TIPS

• Use only 0-inch flour tortillas when making quesadillas with your quesadilla maker.
• Tortillas should be fresh and pliable, not dried out or stiff.
• Only use soft filling ingredients like shredded cheese, salsa, shredded or thinly sliced
pieces of cooked meat, poultry or vegetables. Do not use with any foods that have
bones or pits, since they could damage the cooking plates.
• Do not overfill your quesadillas, as the filling may leak out into the built-in drip
reservoir. Do not fill the tortilla with more than ¼ cup shredded cheese and/or ½ cup
liquid ingredients like salsa.
• Do not use processed cheese, because it turns into liquid when heated and will
leak out.
• For best results, fillings should be spread as evenly as possible, up to ½-inch from the
edge of the tortilla so that the edges can seal together.
• The average grilling time for a quesadilla on the preheated quesadilla maker is
approximately 3-4 minutes. Check quesadillas after 3 minutes; they should be slightly
crisp and have some light browning.
• Do not force the lid closed, as you may damage the hinge or latch mechanism.
Important: Always gently raise and lower the lid using a pot holder/oven mitt.
• Previously grilled quesadillas can be reheated on the quesadilla maker. Place on
preheated appliance, matching up the triangle shape of the quesadilla with that of the
cooking plates. Lower the lid and reheat  to 2 minutes.
