Jazz up breakfast, brunch, or a kidsÂ’ birthday party with the unusual zigzag waffle sticks this cooker produces. The easy-clean nonstick plates bake two whole waffles which can then be broken neatly into six sticks, perfect for dunking into a jam and whipped cream dip or for sharing with traditional maple syrup. The green ready-to-cook light indicates when to add batter, so that waffle-making becomes a snap. Thick and fluffy or thin and crispy–waffles from the Stix can …

I have made three batches of waffles since I purchased this item. All turned out very well. All of the features worked beautifully. The iron did not become too hot or in any way endanger me.
Most important, the waffles turned out well. Light, fluffy, easy to turn into “stix,”…I would recommend this item to those individuals looking for a quality, lower cost waffle maker. You do not get the features of higher end models but you do get the most important thing: tasty waffles.

This waffle maker is a great value for the price. I have made waffles several times and never had a problem with sticking. It is important not to open the waffle maker early to check the doneness of the waffles – that might be why other reviewers had a sticking problem. The recipes I made used only 2 Tbsp oil and there was no sticking. My only complaint is that batter will run out the back if the batter is not evenly spread over the grids or too much is used (I agree to use less than the specified 1/2 c).
I have made recipes both where the eggs are mixed in the batter and those where the whites are whipped separately and then folded in. The latter case resulted in very light waffles – crunchy on the outside and light and tender on the inside. The former case resulted in still excellent tasting waffles with a minimum of work.
I found that a time of 6-7 min worked fine for waffle doneness – leave in longer if you like very crispy waffles. I set my timer for 6 min then let them cook just slightly longer.
I personally like the waffle stix – easy to eat and fun for adults as well as kids! They heat up well in the toaster for waffles anytime.
