QuestionCan I use cornmeal that isn't precooked?Community AnswerI would not recommend using it. You can find precooked cornmeal at your local grocery store.

QuestionHow do I make sure my arepas are cooked all the way through?Community AnswerThey should be browned and crisped on both sides, and often begin to puff up in the center as the steam forms. Since you're using pre-cooked cornmeal, there's no chance that your center will be raw, though often it's soft.

QuestionMy cornmeal is not pre-cooked. Can I still use it for arepas?Community AnswerNo, you can't. Or at least I haven't. Where I live they don't sell arina pan or the like, so I tried making them with instant polenta and it worked!

QuestionCan I freeze this before or after cooking?Community AnswerIf you want to save the arepas to be cooked later, you may cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for three or four days. You can freeze uncooked arepas, too. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and place them in a sealable freezer container. They will keep this way for several months.
