FAQs

How do I heat up Arekin arepas?

If frozen, let your arepas sit at room temp for 15 minutes. This makes them easier to separate. 

No full thawing needed—just unwrap and go.

  • Toaster (Our Favorite Way): Place the arepa in the toaster on high. Toast about 3 times until warm and golden. You’ll know it’s ready when the arepa slightly inflates—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
  • Air Fryer or Oven: Bake at 450°F for 12–15 minutes.

Quick, easy, and always delicious.

Pro Tip: Slice it open and enjoy it as a toast or a sandwich—your go-to base for any meal.

Should I refrigerate or freeze them?

Your arepas arrive frozen to preserve freshness.
You can either:

  • Keep them frozen for up to 6 months, or
  • Refrigerate them if you plan to eat them within 7 days.

Just choose what works best for your schedule!
