I’ve owned three or four waffle makers and none of them compare to the quality of this gem from Cuisinart. If you’re picky with regards to waffles–and why shouldn’t you be?–then spend a little extra on this model and get effortless results. Here’s what makes this a GREAT wafflemaker:
1) An precise thermostat–no surprises when you open the lid
2) A consistent heating surface–avoid hot spots or undercooked waffles
3) A variable timer–essential if you have more than one waffle color preference in the family
4) Smart design–it stores on it is side, taking up a LOT less space in your cupboard
5) Easy to clean exterior–cleans up with a damp paper towel
6) Dependable non-stick finish–unlike cheap waffle makers, the nonstick finish on this model does not wear out
7) Cool-touch lid–never burn your hand on a waffle maker again
I am veritably thrilled with my Cuisinart waffle maker and I believe it’s an sheer bargain. If you’re employed to spending big bucks on store-bought waffles–or if you have a cheap, junky waffle maker at home–treat yourself to this nice little unit. It’s a low-cost luxury. Plus, you’ll have a fun time making waffles (and impressing your family and friends!). Bon appetit!

Consistent waffling
By Manish Laxmikant
Update: Daily use, keeps going and turns out magnificent waffles.
I cited beneath that waffle batter may be stored in the fridge. Try leaving it out overnight. The batter turns more or less sour, and still makes great waffles, but with a sourdoughish flavor that is pure heaven with maple syrup. And you may make numerous and leave it next to the waffle iron the former night so all you have to wait for in the morning is for this waffle maker to heat up.
Interesting that this product is getting polarized reviews. Either very good or terrible. Here’s my experience and then remarks others might find useful.
- I made a batch of chocolate waffles to freeze (to reheat and serve with ice-cream). All 14 turned out perfect. Before that, I made 7 regular waffles that came out GBD – Golden Brown and Delicious. All I did was follow the light and use settings from 3 to 4.
- Going back and forth to get my preferent color was easy because 3 was still 3 after going to 4 (and a bit more). The firstborn and subsequent uses didn’t cause variations in the color. Good design.
- Wiped all of it clean with a wet kitchen napkin. Easy.
- Miles in front of my last waffle iron, which required a lot of guessing and waffle rejection.
- DON’T open the lid until you see the ready light. Or bye bye waffles. They do not like to be bothered until ready.
- A good recipe is important. Don’t use pancake mix, which is plainly a combining of the arid ingredients devised for pancakes and not waffles. Besides it’s a rip-off, like merchandising $1 unglazed tile as a $20 pizza stone.
- Here’s my adaptation of a Good Eats recipe: 2 cups all intent flour, tsp baking powder, half tsp baking soda, tsp salt, 3 tablespoons sugar. Whisk together thoroughly. Combine 1/2 qt whole buttermilk or pint full fat yogurt + pint milk and 2/3 stick melted butter and pour into arid stuff. Mix with rubber spatula for ten seconds (don’t overmix, little lumps will be ok). Leave for in regards to 5-10 min. Turn on waffle iron, spray plates with pam or similar spray. Drop two ice-cream scoop-sized blobs more or less behind the middle and let the lid down. Setting: 3-4. Remove when green light comes back on. Easy. Excess may be stored for the length of one night in an airtight box in the fridge.
If I could wish for anything more, it would be for a ready light that was visible from the far end of my long kitchen. The light is designed to be in sight of a normal height person doing other stuff nearby. I have a long kitchen so the light is hardly visible from my sink on the other side. Since then I’ve been listening for the “click” that flips the red light to the green.
