Overview
The Elite Gourmet EQD-118 is an 11 inch electric quesadilla maker with a nonstick plate that pre-scores 6 wedges, plus a drip tray and vertical storage stand.
- 11 inch nonstick cooking surface
- Pre-scored for 6 easy-slice wedges
- Built-in drip tray for grease
- Stands vertical for storage
Who it's for
Good for someone who wants a dedicated, fast quesadilla appliance and does not mind manually timing the cook. Less suited to anyone replacing a deeper unit and expecting to fill it the same way, since a couple of reviewers found this one squeezes out overfilled cheese.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers repeatedly praise how quick and easy cleanup is and like the pre-scored wedges for clean slicing. The most common criticism is the lack of a timer or auto shut-off, which means burnt batches happen if you do not watch it, and a couple of reviewers found the cooking depth shallower than the older units they were replacing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cooks a full quesadilla in under 5 minutes
- Pre-scored wedges slice cleanly without tearing
- Stands upright for compact storage
- Wipes clean with minimal effort after use
- No timer or auto shut-off, requires watching the clock
- Cooking cavity is shallower than some older quesadilla makers, so overfilling pushes cheese out the sides
- Lid may not stay open on its own for some units
Performance notes
The 11 inch nonstick plate cooks a full quesadilla in under 5 minutes per the listing, with pre-scored wedge lines that let you slice cleanly without tearing the tortilla. There is no built-in timer or auto-off, so the indicator lights only tell you the unit has power and has preheated, not when the food is done. A drip tray under the unit catches excess grease during cooking.

Questions about the Elite Gourmet EQD-118
Common buyer questions answered straight from the product spec data - no fluff, no "it depends".
Does the Elite Gourmet EQD-118 shut off automatically?
No, it has no timer or auto shut-off, only indicator lights for power and preheat status, so you need to watch the cook time yourself.
How much filling can the EQD-118 hold before it overflows?
A couple of reviewers found the cooking cavity shallower than older quesadilla makers they had owned, so going light on cheese and fillings avoids squeeze-out during closing.
How long does it take to cook a quesadilla in this maker?
The listing states under 5 minutes for a full 11 inch quesadilla, though actual time depends on fillings and how crisp you want it.
