Presto 03510 Ceramic FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker, Nonstick, Cool Touch Handles, Black

To help balance some of the negative reviews,(do people read instructions before they use appliances, I wonder?) I'll add my 2 cents. I made my first waffles (with this product) last night using Stonewall Farms Pancake and Waffle Mix. I doubled the recipe on the canister and got 3 perfectly browned, crispy, fluffy, delicious waffles. I used exactly 1 cup on the first 2 and a little shy on the 3rd. All 3 came out perfect. As to the timer: it's handy. I, of course, have other timers in my kitchen, but it was convenient to (following the instructions) pour in the batter, set the timer, then flip the waffle. Just that small amount of time before flipping may make a difference, if not--oh, well. It's just a count-down timer. It does beep when the set amount of time is reached (four times, I think.) The thing is, when making waffles, you don't really go by the amount of time, you watch for the steaming to stop. What is convenient about the timer is, not only that it is conveniently right in front of you when you're pouring and flipping, but when it beeps it brings your attention back to the waffle maker in time for you to watch the steam. I thought it was kind of a nice little extra. I've never before seen a waffle maker with a timer. If you don't like it, don't use it. It has no affect on the on/off function--good thing because cooking time is going to vary according to several factors including what batter you are using. This was the easiest waffle making experience I've ever had. I was very impressed. Really easy clean-up, too. You just wipe it out--if there is any thing to wipe out. The instructions tell you that if there is a little bit of cooked batter stuck somewhere, you just put a little cooking oil on it to soften it, then wipe it off. I didn't get to experiment with this. Nothing stuck. The waffles came out perfectly. I did, as instructed, brush the grids with cooking oil after it had first pre-heated. It is recommended, for even browning, to use oil rather than spray. I did not need to re-apply it and won't unless waffles begin to stick. I'm usually kind of compulsive about hot soap and water, but in the case of the waffle iron, as long as there is no material in the grids, any germs will be killed during the initial heating up process. With this kind of simplicity and success, we will be having waffles much more frequently than ever before. If you have any of the problems I have read described here, and if you have read and followed the instructions, you must have a faulty product and should return it for a replacement. If mine develops problems or dies early, I will update my review. Until then, I highly recommend this product. I couldn't be more satisfied.

I bought this to replace a more expensive Krups waffle iron whose nonstick coating had turned worthless after a decade of use. Good waffles are important to me and I was not hesitant to buy a more expensive waffle iron. In fact, I did originally buy a Cuisinart that was more than twice the price of this one and I sent it back for making shallow, light waffles. My Krups easily stored vertically and so does this one - important for cabinet space. The nonstick coating is excellent. I use melted butter in my batter, but nothing is needed on the grids. A 1 cup pour is the right amount, so I get exactly 3 waffles out of a batch. This is nice so you don't end up with leftover batter or a half-poured waffle. The preheat indicator light works as it should, and the little timer is a nice touch if you don't have one already. 4 minutes is the right amount of time, and it gives you a 60 second warning so you can be ready to pop them out. I thought the flipping bit would be a gimmick, but it's not. A slightly thinner batter (ideal for tender, crispy waffles) may not rise enough to reach the other side if your iron doesn't flip. Waffles turn out crispy on the outside, tender inside, with nice laciness by the bubbles and butter. You can't beat these with a stick. Highly recommend this iron even if you've got the pockets for a more expensive appliance. Here's my recipe after dozens of iterations and small changes. 75g AP flour 75g cake flour 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder 3 Tbsp. sugar 1 3/8 c. milk (pea, oat, soy, and beef milk all work well here) 1 large egg 4 Tbsp. melted butter (earth balance also works here) 1 tsp. vanilla Weigh your flour, trust me. Sift dry ingredients into bowl, whisk milk and egg in microwave safe measuring cup. Melt butter and set aside. Heat milk/egg mixture for 60 seconds in microwave. Whisk melted butter into milk/egg mixture. Add vanilla. Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until combined (no more than 10 seconds. Some lumps are okay. Preheat iron until light goes out. Pour in 1 cup batter into center. Close iron and then flip and set timer for 4 minutes. Pull out waffle and dip in warm syrup. (Yes, eat with your hands and dip. This is your house.) Make sure iron preheat light is off before pouring in next batch.

La wafflera es de gran calidad. El teflón de la misma y la mezcla precisa hacen que los waffles salgan grandes y pachoncitos. Las instrucciones del instructivo son claras, solo es cuestión de tomarse el tiempo para leerlo. Pero realmente todo es muy intuitivo; dejar calentar la wafflera, vertir la mezcla y esperar el tiempo de cocción que se recomiende o considere y listo. Un punto importante a mencionar, el mango para rotar la wafflera se calienta después de haber hecho 3 o 4 waffles, recomiendo usar guantes de cocina para evitar sentir el mismo calor intenso de la wafflera. :)

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’t 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’t even need the timer turned on to work and OK with…the 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’t 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’t forget to add the correct amount of oil to the batter, as per box instructions.. Don’t grease the machine at all. Zero grease on the machine ever. Preheat until the light goes out. Pour batter, if it’s too thick or unevenly poured, tilt the machine slightly until it’s 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’t have to wash the machine or even wipe it down after, nothing sticks they just come right out.

You need to purchase 220V to 110V converter for operating this mashine

Bought this waffle maker after extensive research and reading a lot of reviews but I have to say..dont believe anything until you see it for yourself. Used this 1 time and it made decent waffles but wouldnt turn on the next time. I called up customer service of ibhejo and they said it is now out of return period. Got the product on 20/05 and got spoilt the second time i turned it on i.e 27/05. Now after spending all that money im left with a waffle maker that doesnt work and cannot be returned. Great service ibhejo.

Busque diferentes opciones y me decidí por esta, fundado en las opiniones de otras personas y sus reseñas, he confirmado que es una opción excelente, requieres de aproximadamente 8 minutos por waffle y quedan bien. Así lo han manifestado varias amistades y familia y yo mismo por supuesto. Es muy recomendable y quedan como hechos con máquina profesional, aunque a menor velocidad, pero no los quiero para vender, así que no es problema.
