Chefman RJ04-AO-4-US w/Shade Selector Temperature Control, Mess Free Moat, Round Iron w/Nonstick Plates & Cool Touch Handle, Measuring Cup Included, Black, 700 W

I had read a great review on this Waffle Maker in a Consumer Report Magazine. They stated this machine was easy to use and made the perfect waffles with many different settings. You can make the waffle light in color and not crispy at all or a golden brown color with great crispy texture. You have 7 settings to choose from. I used a box Pancake mix to try the machine. Super simple and beautiful Waffles in less than 5 min each. Love that the machine doesn't have to be turned over to cook both sides. (Like many machines do). This Waffle Maker cooks both sides evenly in less than 5 min. No mess. The non stick interior is used without adding any sprays. Cleans up easily. Many Belgium Waffle recipes given in the manual for breakfast, lunch or dinner waffles. Love love love this machine. Stores easily as well.

I am in my 60s, and this is my first waffle maker. I bought it because I read somewhere that you could use cake batter instead of plain waffle batter, and I was dying to try it. Now I'm addicted. I love the overflow ring - anything that falls into that is automatically mine to eat - and the measuring cup is great. It locks closed - I'm not sure why, as it's unlikely that you'd carry this around with you - but as this is my first waffle maker perhaps it's a feature more seasoned wafflers have requested. It's got a ready light for when it's heating up - do let it get back to READY before you pour in the batter for the next waffle - and it lights up again to tell you your waffle is done. I am using it on the highest setting (notes on using cake batter below), and it gets VERY hot, which I don't love. Do NOT grab this with your bare hands - when I say VERY hot, I mean it. Overall - I can whip up waffles far too easily, and I love this. Who knew I needed a waffle maker? Some notes on using cake batter, in case you find it as intriguing as I did: I use the hottest setting on this waffle iron + 30 seconds, or else they stick to the waffle maker. I also use applesauce to replace the oil in the boxed cake mixes (1:1 oil to unsweetened applesauce, reduce water by 25%), which tends to make them a little more fragile and a little puffier, so if you fill the measuring cup with batter you're going to have more overflow than the little reservoir can handle. I've tried spice cake, lemon cake, chocolate cake and carrot cake - I find that a little fruit coulis or chocolate sauce (or both) is delicious on these waffles, but I'm also perfectly happy to eat them plain. I freeze them (I make the entire box/batter, and I would eat them all in one day if I didn't), and they take only a few minutes to defrost. Pop them in the toaster, and VOILA! Sweet, low-fat treat (if you use the applesauce). If you don't use applesauce in place of oil, you will likely need to adjust the heat and/or cooking time. I apologize for the damage this will do to your waistline. ;)

What I like about this is as easy to use I thought this was just a plain old waffle maker once I received it I realized it was for making big fluffy Belgian waffles as I'm not a waffle connoisseur I had no idea what that meant when I read it in the reviews anyway the end result is. This thing rocks for making new recipes you can literally break an egg in the middle of a piece of toast and and add onion bacon or whatever your favorite ingredients are I would suggest a donut cutter for taking out the middle of the bread anyway slap that lid down and have a egg sandwich perfect for lunches or breakfast or a quick dinner it's unlimited as to what you can use this for I've been using coconut oil to keep stuff from sticking it works well when I clean it I use paper towels rubbing alcohol and a spray bottle to get the grease out of it and clean the outside and then I have another spray bottle full of purified water that I spray on it to remove any residue that the alcohol may leave on the surface. I would recommend buying one of these and go crazy with it make all kinds of stuff not just waffles make sure you oil the surface before you cook anything each time you put a new whatever into it make sure you oil it have fun.

La uso para mi negocio, estamos en mayo 2022 y la llevo usando desde diciembre 2021. Calienta súper rápido y muy bien, parejo. Al principio fue difícil encontrar la medida exacta de masa para evitar derrames, pero luego encontré el modo y ya no se derrama nada. Con mi receta basta con cubrir totalmente la base para que quede perfectamente bien cubierto todo el molde pero no derrame. Tienes que experimentar un poco para saber qué cantidad, ya que depende mucho del tipo de masa que uses y lo espesa que esté. Otro tip, al principio no confiaba en la luz azul, así que revisaba el waffle cada cierto tiempo, pero luego vi que no es necesario, se enciende cuando está a la temperatura ideal, se apaga cuando echas la masa y cierras, cuando vuelve a encender el foco azul está completamente cocido al nivel de tostado que elijas, sin necesidad de estar revisando. Leí que a muchos se les ha quebrado por el “abrir y cerrar”, pero a mí me ha funcionado bien, por si las dudas he tenido el debido cuidado al manipularla para evitar que se dañe, ya que ciertamente se siente un poco flojo, no está muy ajustado, afortunadamente sigue en buenas condiciones. Es fácil de limpiar y no necesita grasa (mantequilla o aceite), no se le pega nada y es fácil quitar los residuos cuando está totalmente fría con un trapo limpio y húmedo, no es necesario lavar. Sin duda la volvería a comprar.

This waffle maker cooks waffles to perfection. And the waffles are so big. The anti-overflow works amazing. I don’t know what other people are talking about that said it didn’t. Maybe they have an older model. But mine works great. All it is, is an extended cooking surface so any batter that goes outside of the waffle grooves just gets cooked rather than making a mess. I liked it having a bit of an extra edge from the anti-overflow surface, it made it easier to get the waffle out. And if you’re worried about presentation you can easily cut or pull the edges off for a cleaner look. It’s fool proof. It tells you when to put the batter in and when the waffle is done. It has multiple level setting based on how browned you want your waffle. I cooked mine on level 3 (medium) for reference. It’s compact and light. It’s easy to clean, I just wiped it down with a cloth, nothing sticks to it. It was so easy to use my 5 year old was making waffles with my supervision.
