Nice little machine. Have to be very careful about putting only a moderate amount of cheese otherwise it will spill over the edge. Cheese can also get caught in the cracks between the hotplate and the plastic housing. works a lot like an electric waffle maker. The edges and the rest triangles don't cut the quesadilla it only riches them and seals off the little pockets. Kids love it. Have to have an adult present to use it because it's very hot.
