Overview
A 9.5 inch stainless steel stovetop griddle plate for cooking arepas, tortillas, and toasting pita or bagels, meant to sit on a gas or electric range burner rather than plug in on its own.
Despite being filed under an electric grills category, this is a stovetop plate with no cord or heating element of its own; the description's reference to electric stove tops means it works on an electric range burner, not that the grill itself is powered. Reviewers also use it well outside its arepa-focused name, several treating it as a tortilla warmer or a buffer plate on glass-top ranges.
- 9.5 inch stainless steel plate
- Polished exterior finish
- Works on gas and electric stovetop burners
- Lightweight for easy storage
Who it's for
Good for anyone who regularly makes arepas or tortillas, or wants a sturdy stovetop plate for warming bread on a gas or glass-top range. Less useful for anyone expecting a plug-in electric griddle, since it has no cord or non-stick coating.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who make arepas regularly called it sturdy and reliable for that specific job, and several also praised it as a tortilla warmer on glass-top stoves. The only real critique came from a buyer who wished they had sized up for bigger arepas, though they still kept and used the smaller size.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Heats evenly for arepas and tortillas
- Sturdy and stable on the stovetop
- Doubles as a tortilla or bread warmer
- Easy to wipe clean
- No non-stick coating
- Requires a separate stove or burner to heat it
- Smaller size limits it to a couple of arepas at a time per one reviewer
Performance notes
The polished stainless surface heats evenly enough for arepas and tortillas once placed over a burner, and its weight keeps it stable on the stovetop. It has no non-stick coating, so some cooking fat or dusting is typically needed the way a traditional comal is used.

Can it be used for anything besides arepas?
Yes, reviewers use it for tortillas, pita, and bagels, and several use it specifically as a tortilla warmer on glass-top stoves.
Does it have a non-stick coating?
No, it is bare polished stainless steel, so it is used more like a traditional comal than a non-stick griddle.
