Belgian Waffle Maker Selection Guide

Things to Look For When Buying a Belgian Waffle Maker

Here is a list of some things that you would definitely prefer in any Belgian waffle purchase that you make. Not every model will have all of them but any model you choose should include the majority of them.
– Non-stick Surface
Anyone who has ever cooked pancakes or waffles in something like a frying pan or griddle knows what a mess you can make when you try and remove them. It does not matter how much you coat them with oil and butter if the surface is not a non-stick one. A good non-stick surface will help you make waffles that come out easy and look great each and every time you use your waffle maker.
– Pre-heat Indicator light
The key to making a perfect waffle is cooking it at the right temperature. If your waffle maker is not at the ideal temperature then you will get a waffle that is undercooked and doughy. If your waffle maker has an indicator light that tells you your waffle maker is at the right temperature and ready to go to work, this will help you make perfect Belgian waffles each time you use it.
– Upright Storage
The days of waffle makers taking up the entire bottom of a cabinet no longer has to be the case. Many Belgian waffle makers are now designed to lock in an upright position for space-saving storage in either the cupboard or right on the countertop.
– Wattage
One underlying theme that has been present throughout this review article is you need consistent high heat to make a good waffle. That is why you have to look at a waffle maker’s wattage because this will tell you how fast the unit will both preheat and cook. The higher the wattage the faster the unit bakes and preheats for the next waffle.

Waffle FYI

Here are the 3 main reasons why Belgian waffles will stick to the cooking grid too much and break up when you remove them:
1. The eggs that were added to the batter were minus the yolks. Yolks in the batter help the non-stick surface work better.
2. There was either too much or too little cooking oil added to your batter.
3. Not enough non-stick cooking spray was ‘evenly’ coated over the cooking grid.
