I read a lot of reviews on waffle makers before I purchased this one. The waffle maker is pretty much as described, but the one thing I would have liked to have known was the fact that the "waffle wells" were not that deep. I like waffles that have DEEP "holes" so that I can get more syrup on each waffle, plus it makes the waffle itself crunchier. This waffle maker also makes a smaller waffle than what I'm used to. Otherwise it is a great product! The waffle does indeed come out much easier than some waffle makers -- I think that is because the waffle "holes" are not so deep. Pops right out! :-) I like the on/off button and the light. It's a really pretty maker, too. Easy to clean as well, since you can take the grill/waffle plates out.

Excellent product. Works well. The build quality is great and feels very solid. However, rather than purchase here for $79, item can be purchased for < $50 from eBay seller giftsnstuff. For that price, it's an even better value.

This waffler is perfection.

I don't know why Alton Brown didn't recommend this one. He had it on his show with like 8 others and said something bad about the other 6 and just passed over this one for another one which he sighted as his favorite.

I have never in my life had a waffle as good as the ones that come from the included recipe book. The best one uses yeast to leaven the dough then you fold in whipped egg whites. This makes the lightest, fluffiest, crunchy outside moist warm inside ever, and it fills your home with the aroma only baker's yeast can produce. Felix Mendoza came to my house for a waffle party and ate like four g0d dammn waffles!

Oh, put fresh whipped cream on top!

If you buy any other waffler as a gift for a friend you are not a friend at all. I would punch you in the face if you gave me any other waffler. Then I would show you the door.

I have been on the market for a good waffle maker since the nonstick coating on my old one started chipping away. I purchased the Waring Pro due to the good reviews but found it to be WAY too big and it did not even produce good waffles in my opinion. I decided to try out the Proctor Silex and I was blown away. It made the most perfect restaurant style Belgian waffles quickly and easily. It can be stored vertically so as not to take up much space as well. My only criticism has to do with the handle. It is inconvenient since it is located where much steam escapes causing you to potentially burn your fingers. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with this item.

If you are looking for a great Belgian Waffle maker - look no further. After spending hours reading the reviews of this waffle maker and all the others listed on Amazon, we decided this might be the one for us. GREAT DECISION! It makes the best waffles so quickly! Everything you read is correct. You only need to treat it the first time with cooking spray or oil and then NEVER again! Clean-up is quick and easy! It makes delicious, crispy Belgian waffles in a flash! I am so glad this Chef's Choice waffle iron was our choice!

I love this waffle maker. I've had mine for at least 4 years and have never had a problem with it. I make waffles quite often so it is well used. However, I do use a non stick spray so have no problem with anything sticking. I was surprised to hear that some have had problems with theirs after just a few uses. I love it for the fact that it doesn't take very long to cook the waffles.
I am including the recipe that I use. It was given to me by my daughter, and she uses it for pancakes and waffles. Hope you enjoy.



Out Of This World Pecan Waffles


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 Cups Flour
4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
3/4 Cup Oil
2 1/4 Cups Milk -- try 2 cups
2 Eggs -- beaten
1/2 Cup Ground Pecans

Measure and sift dry ingredients together. Mix oil with milk and eggs. Stir into dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Add pecans and mix well. Bake immediately or let set in the refrigerator over night. They will keep will covered for 2 weeks. Easy and good.

I put the eggs in a bowl and beat them, then add the oil and milk. The rest of the ingredients I just add to the bowl with the liquids. Saves getting two bowls dirty. I never sift the dry ingredients either.

I don't usually put the pecans in, but is good with them added. I also half the recipe because there are only three of us, and that is still enough for a couple of batches

After first use, I am very unhappy with this product....the waffle is still welded on and I cannot get it off. The unit is unusable. Who do I contact...Amazon or Crisinart?

After purchasing the Waring Pro WMK300 and getting just 1 1/2 waffle breakfasts.... (it failed during second day I used it... returned) I agree this is the only waffle maker you need.

Great product! Crispy waffle sticks are made really quickly. My nephews come during weekends and they love these combined with jelly, whipped cream, condensed milk..mmmmm... fruits, honey, chocolate... High quality and easy to operate. Highly recommended!
