Waffle Maker Reviews Reviews On Waffle Makers

I love this waffle maker! It’s like the ones our mom used, not those cheesy seeming plastic things they’re making now. It’s also got a lot of excellent features that make my life easier.

I’ll mention right now that this is a VERY hot waffle maker. They make the plastic ones to be “cool touch”. I’ll trade the cool touch feature for the sturdier design of this versatile machine. I’m being careful and haven’t burned myself yet. But it’s something to consider if you’d like your children making waffles. My ten year old could be careful enough, but I keep my five and eight year olds away.

The waffles this machine makes are great! They freeze well too. The family is very happy. When the light goes of the unit is ready to make waffles. Pour in the batter and the light comes on again–wait for it to go off and the waffle is done (however, I usually go on instinct and sometimes pull out the waffle before the light goes off.)

The open grill feature makes wonderful pancakes and fried eggs. I have a big family and it’s nice to have two pancakes cook at a shot without taking up all my stovetop! I can have bacon and eggs on the stove and the pancakes on the waffle maker. (I can also have a heart attack if I keep eating all these bacon and eggs!)

The sandwich feature is nice. I can cook two grilled cheese sandwiches at one time getting me out of the kitchen quicker. Some advice–cheese might drip out the side of the sandwich. Just keep the sandwich away from the back of the unit where the cables run in and the mess just wipes off–no problem. The sandwiches cook far more uniformly than they do in a pan on the stove. They taste great.

This unit cleans up easily and changing the grills from waffle to flat is easy. I recommend it over a lot of more costly models if you want more value for your money. This is the most versatile waffle maker I’ve found and all the features actually work!

Back in the 60’s I loved the Sundays my Dad made waffles on a toastmaster Waffle/grill. He would add cinnamon, fruit, all kinds of things. Never stuck always light and fluffy. When I went to collage my odessy began. I have gone through 4! different brands and here is why you want this machine – Ok Betty Crocker and others may have a beeper but the waffle that comes out could have come out of a toaster, B&D lets you choose on a dark to light waffle ‘zone’ with a light that goes out when it reaches that temp. Even with a thick from the box batter out came the most fluffy waffle with a belgium like crust. Take a close look at this baby it’s CROME and yes it will get hot, (kids don’t touch) but unlike others it CLEANS UP. Overflows are no problem. Just as good a George Forman. And grilled sandwiches were wonderful but I use old world bakery bread with brie and dry salami, again adjust for light and dark. Favorite rescipe? Coco for a chocolate waffle and chocolate chip icecream to make a sandwhich. This is an ‘open and closed’ case and realy is space saver 3 in 1 product for our family.
