Was extremely surprised and happy with how well this works. No sticking. Perfect crispy fluffy waffles. Not thin eggo type waffles, thick and deep waffles like you would get in a restaurant.
Note the timer on this thing sucks, and thankfully has absolutely no bearing on cooking and no interaction with the heating or temperature of the waffle maker. I don鈥檛 even use it and they should probably remove it from the machine. If the timer was required for this to work, I probably would have returned the machine. So glad it doesn鈥檛 even need the timer turned on to work and OK with鈥he waffles are that good, and I prefer one less fiddly thing to go wrong with the machine or cooking.
This machine has 1 temperature setting, pre-dialled in and perfect.
As a simple waffle iron - plug in, it heats up, you use it - I can鈥檛 imagine anything working better or more simply than this.
My usage:
Follow box mix recipe for waffles, I have used several they all work. Don鈥檛 forget to add the correct amount of oil to the batter, as per box instructions.. Don鈥檛 grease the machine at all. Zero grease on the machine ever.
Preheat until the light goes out.
Pour batter, if it鈥檚 too thick or unevenly poured, tilt the machine slightly until it鈥檚 evenly distributed. The large cool handles are perfect for this.
Close and flip. Flip again after 2 minutes. 4 minutes 30 seconds total cook time seems perfect. Don鈥檛 have to wash the machine or even wipe it down after, nothing sticks they just come right out.
