 Product Description: There are few things that beat a freshly made waffle for breakfast or brunch. Serve it with fruit, ice cream, maple syrup, or sugar. When it's made fresh and served hot, it's truly a delicious treat. Cuisinart reintroduces the Classic Round Waffle Maker so you can enjoy preparing it as well as eating it.

The nonstick round plate is divided into four quarters and wipes clean easily.

We've used it twice and find it to satisfy our needs. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-23 Lasted a Month This seems to be a product people either love or hate. Put me down in the deeply disappointed column. I could live with the very loose and wiggly hinge because even the best appliances can have their quirks. However, the five temperature setting was a joke since the control had enough play in it to swing between two settings without meeting any resistance. There was no way of telling whether it was, for instance, on setting 3 or 4. Also, my definition of non-stick is that the waffle doesn't stick to the appliance once it's done cooking. I had to pry every single waffle out of this iron, no exceptions; the only difference was the number of pieces the waffle would end up being by the end of the process. Only with generous applications of spray oil every two or three uses could I hope to get a whole waffle at once. The final straw was when I was using this waffle maker for the fourth time (Sundays are waffle day around here) -- the knob to the temperature control fell off and the lever it attached to retreated to the inside of the appliance. That resulted in a three point toss across the kitchen with nothing but net into the trash.
It appears from the reviews that the quality of this piece can be wildly divergent. It either works to perfection or it isn't worth a plugged nickle. I gambled my $$ and hoped I would get a good one; I didn't. If you aren't in a position to waste money, save the cash you would have spent on this and wait until you've got enough to get a good quality appliance. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-09 Best waffle maker of this kind Bought this same unit 15 years ago. When the top part of the unit failed, wanted this same model because it cooked perfectly for a long time. It's not quite as heavy or sturdy as the original but heats quickly, cooks perfectly for all done-ness preferences - soft and chewy or crunchy. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-29 Great waffles but it takes a while If flavor is important to you (it is to me) this is a wonderful iron. The waffles come out very crispy & perfectly golden. The first waffle is as nicely browned as the last one.
My only complaint is the time it takes to bake a waffle takes a while if you have a large crowd to feed. The bottom line, you will love this waffle iron if you are cooking for two. For much more than two, opt for the larger model. Rating:  Date: 2008-05-25 Excellent waffle iron This is an excellent old fashioned waffle iron. Produces nice crisp waffles. Much better than the newer "Belgian" style. |
