So, you want to make waffles, do you? Does your mouth water every time you pass through the small appliances aisle in your neighborhood super center? Are you confused about which is the best waffle maker to buy that will help you to feed your need for fresh delicious homemade waffles?
Well, if you are anything like me, you will want to buy an affordable waffle maker that makes near perfect waffles every time. You may also be considering purchasing a well made, easy to use and simple to clean appliance that won’t break the family budget. Do what I did; buy the
Classic Waffle Maker from CUISINART to feed your waffle cravings.
What You See is What You Get
I decided on this particular
CUISINART Waffle Maker because I loved the way it looked on the box! Yep, this is what initially got my attention and all of the great features listed are what convinced me to buy it. The waffle maker looks sleek, shiny, small and simple to operate. The waffles appear to be perfectly round and appetizing. That’s what is shown on the box.
When I bought the
CUISINART Classic Waffle Maker and got it home I was delighted to find that what I saw was truly what I got. This waffle maker is very sleek and lightweight. The exterior is stainless steel and is very, very attractive. The inside is smooth black waffle plates with four triangular grids.
Product Claims
CUISINART products are no stranger to praise. Consumers like me have been saying good things about their quality long lasting appliances for years. It is common knowledge that
CUISINART rarely manufacturers appliances that do not perform in less than pristine ways.
So, when I saw that the
CUISINART Classic Waffle Maker claimed to have
simple operation, I had no reason to doubt that it would be simple to operate. The claim that this waffle maker would be
quick and easy to use, made me feel ecstatic. To think that I would be able to whip up a batch of waffles for my family in no time at all was a really good selling point. And, this waffle maker was advertised as having the ability to
make perfectly browned waffles every time!
CUISINART claimed that this waffle maker was of the
classic style like the waffle iron that I remembered my mother using when I was a girl; I was sold!
So, How Did It Check out
I am very happy with my family’s great waffle maker! My husband was the first member to use the
CUISINART Waffle Maker and then my sixteen year old son. Both men agree that this is a really neat appliance to have in the house. In fact, my son made four batches of waffles the first week that we owned the waffle maker! My husband is most impressed with how easy every aspect of the waffle making process is, from start to finish. He loves that there are
indicator lights that tell him when the waffle maker is ready to be used and another light to tell him when the waffles are done. This makes cooking waffles child’s play!
Specific Features
•
Classic Design~~ this waffle maker really is much like the one my mom used to make dozens of batches of waffles on when I was a child. The main difference between our old waffle iron and this sleek, attractive new
CUISINART Classic Waffle Maker is the weight! As I recall, the old waffle iron was rather heavy, at least two pounds heavier than our new one! The older model was also all black and not terribly nice to look at; once waffles were done, that old thing was promptly put away. I especially love the design because there is one huge waffle with four little triangular waffles that can easily be cut into fourths to feed small children. Yes, I love that it brings memories of childhood breakfasts.
•
Cleaning and Storage~~ another great feature is the easy to clean Teflon coating on this dreamy little waffle maker. It is
super easy to clean. All that is needed is to
WIPE IT OFF with a cloth dampened with water! Absolutely amazing! Then, better yet, is the innovative design of this waffle maker. The cord can be folded around the bottle of the small appliance and the entire package can neatly get tucked away or left out on the counter standing up!
•
Perfect Browning Controls~~ this feature is what makes
CUISINART the brilliant manufacturer of superior appliances that it is known to be. Always having the consumer in mind and knowing how varied consumer’s tastes and preferences can be, this waffle maker is designed to
brown the waffles up to five shades simply by moving the level located in the front control panel! We have tried all five shades and my family prefers browning shade number four because the waffles are medium brown in color and still soft and fluffy.
•
Perfect Waffles Every Time~~ the
CUISINART Waffle Maker seems to always make perfectly and evenly cooked waffles, time after time. Once the waffle batter is poured onto the hot cooking plates, the lid is closed and the indicator light turns from red to green when it is done cooking!
•
Affordable~~ for just $29.95 my family is enjoying diner style waffle breakfasts without paying the diner prices.
Final Thoughts and Recommendations
We are very happy with our
CUISINART Classic Waffle Maker. Aside from the lid getting very hot, the operating of this super appliance is quite simple. The indicator lights make burning of waffles near impossible, unless you do not observe the change in lights and remove the waffle promptly. My husband did make this mistake once and we all learned from it.
I highly recommend buying and using this waffle maker. Be sure to use
COMSTOCK Strawberry Topping for an added pleasurable mouth watering experience.
