Looks great, heats well, easy to clean
I have been making waffles for about 15 years now. I wanted something every morning with my coffee so I make a batch every other Sunday and freeze them. Then just toss them in the toaster when I need one. I have only gone through six waffle makers of various types and expense. I prefer the Belgian size and pattern. The VillaWare waffle maker is my second favorite. My favorite does two at a time...
First, you'll want to do a batch to "clean" the nonstick plates. The instructions suggest this as well. I just made a batch of waffles from a package of ready mix and tossed them out.
It heats up and cooks fairly quickly. The temp is easy to adjust by turning the dial located right in front. On/off is in the middle of the dial. It beeps when ready and done. The biggest issue with waffle makers is how long they last. Over time the heating elements tend to wear down - we'll see.
It has a drip pan that makes it easier to clean up but my waffle mix is thick and...
Made delicious Belgian waffles after a few trial waffles
I'm no stranger to waffle makers. I've owned 2 Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker, which had rave reviews and worked great the first couple of times, then began heating unevenly. My waffles would be burned in places and raw in others. I suppose both units were defective, but I wasn't going to deal with a third one. So, I moved on to the very basic, but very well made Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Maker, which is still working perfectly over a year later, but it doesn't make the thick Belgian waffles like this one. So, I was excited to give this one a try. It didn't disappoint. There were some trial and error issues, but after a few waffles, I have it figured out. I cleaned and oiled the iron as suggested in the instructions. It didn't take long at all to preheat. It was finished preheating by the time I got my batter mixed up...
Perfect waffles....that is all I wanted!
I made perfect waffles, the first time, with no sticking or burning! Yep, this is a great waffle maker! It is easy to use, heats up quickly, and looks sharp.
I bought Presto 03510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker this last year, and was disappointed. The first batch of waffles I made stuck so terribly to the maker I had to turn it off and pry the small pieces out into a crumbled, horrible mess. I thought I had done something wrong, but I hadn't. I oiled the griddles, and followed the instructions. I was finally able to get the maker to work but I had to do some special things.
This VillaWare maker, however, was perfect! I oiled the griddle like it stated you should do before the first use. I made a traditional Belgian Waffle recipe, let the maker warm up on medium heat, poured in my batter, flipped it, waited for the flip beep, flipped it back and MY WAFFLE WAS PERFECT! It slid right...
