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.

Belgian waffles at home! Look, are you looking for a commercial belgian waffle maker? Yes? Then DO NOT buy this product and expect it to be something its not. Buy an actual commercial waffle maker, spend all your money and save your time. I was looking for a regular, at-home, simple to use waffle maker so my husband could have the belgian waffle experience at home. I hate complicated appliances. This waffle maker is wonderful! It beeps when its time to flip it and the timer is for an overall cook time. With the first time using the waffle maker, your first waffle is never going to come out perfect. By the time you've made the second one, your a professional! We started with regular pancake/waffle mix because that's what we had on-hand. However, I do recommend buying an actual belgian waffle mix as it makes a world of difference in the taste and light, crisp experience! Some posters complained of the overall mess and messy clean up. Some posters complained that the timer is for the overall cook time. And less we forget, storage space. Those posts almost caused me to not buy this product. This is what I experienced: 1) Its not difficult to figure out how full is TOO full to fill the waffle maker. Don't fill it until its spilling over and you won't have any problem. Mix does not leak or seep out unless you just really fill it to the brim. There is no reason to do that & in fact, your waffle will not cook as well if you do. 2) I've had 0 and I mean NO problems with clean up. Follow the directions in the booklet. All we did was spray the griddles with some PAM and boom. The griddles are non-stick. PAM helps them stay that way. Literally I wipe off the outside of the machine with a wet rag and the inside griddles with a damp paper towel. 3) It does close together and stand upright for storage. It doesn't take up anymore room than a toaster, less in fact. Honestly, this is not something I use everyday, so mine gets put away into the cabinet when not in use. Its not something I'd leave sitting out on my kitchen counter anyway. It cooks evenly, operates as advertised, folds for easy storage, easy cleaning, cools quickly after use and frankly, cooks each waffle perfectly. I am more impressed with this appliance than I thought I would be. For the money I spent.....it was a steal!!!!! Great bargain, exceeded my expectations!

Excellent product. Better waffles and faster than the flat four-section style. Easy storage, very ergonomic and a small footprint on countertop space.

There's a bit of a learning curve to the use of the flip waffle iron only because the instructions could be clearer - especially when it comes to the indicator light, the timer, & the beep (it beeped once not three times). But no matter the unclear instructions & using the standard waffle recipe included in the instructions, the waffles were thick, stayed crispy, and tasted delicious. Pictured is the first waffle made and it was wonderful in both texture and taste. The flip is easy to clean - just wipe it clean & dry, and stores in its upright position thus taking up little space in the cupboard. I'm sure I'll learn to better use its features the more I use it, and so I'm pleased with the purchase and highly recommend the product.

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.
