Preheat the Tosty Arepas according to the manufacturer's instructions. Generally, you will need to preheat the appliance for a few minutes before use.
While the Tosty Arepas are heating, prepare the arepa dough following the instructions in the "Dough Preparation" section of the article.
Once the dough is ready, form balls of the right size for the tosty arepas.
Oil the plates of the Tosty Arepas with vegetable oil or spray. This helps keep the arepas from sticking and gives them a crispy texture on the outside.
Place the balls in the Tosty Arepas, making sure they are not too close together so they can cook properly.
Close the Tosty Arepas and cook the arepas for 7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Open the Tosty Arepas and check that the arepas are cooked inside. If they are still raw, close the Tosty Arepas again and cook for a few more minutes.
Once the arepas are cooked, carefully remove them from the Tosty Arepas (they may be hot) and let them cool for a few minutes before cutting them to add the filling of your choice.
Finally, add the desired filling and enjoy your delicious arepas cooked with Tosty Arepas.
