Waring bubble waffle maker pro#

This is a sizable machine that makes four thick square waffles at a time, enough for breakfast for at least two people.

In testing, level 1 made light golden waffles that were soft and springy but not too pale or undercooked, while level 12 waffles showed a deep dark golden color without any burnt areas and a satisfying crunch for all you texture fanatics. We loved the 'a bit more' button, which cooks the waffles, well, a bit more, for extra browning and crispness without having to start a whole new cooking cycle. It shows up on an easy-to-read LCD screen that really does make this look like the waffle iron of the future. Combined with your choice for browning level, this automatically figures out the ideal time and temperature. The 'Waffle IQ' system lets you choose from Belgian, classic, chocolate, buttermilk waffles, or a custom setting. It's the priciest model on this list and one of the largest, but it works very, very well.

With five separate settings for waffle type and 12 for doneness, the Breville Smart Waffle Pro is worth the splurge if you're hardcore about making the perfect waffle with any kind of batter or mix-in. If anything, it's a little bulky for its size and takes up a lot of cabinet or counter space.ĭimensions: 5.6 x 9.3 x 11.5 inches | Weight: 6.2 pounds | Power: 1,250 watts | Browning Settings: 6 With its reasonable price, we couldn't find much to criticize with this machine. The temperature of the cooking plates was quite low compared to other units, but that didn't seem to affect the results very much: The WAF-200 was on the slower end of the machines we tested but still made an excellent waffle in a little over three minutes. Across different batters and at different heat settings, the waffles were always cooked thoroughly and evenly from top to bottom and side to side. We were especially impressed at how consistent the results were. (Some waffles actually split along the scores as we removed them from the machine-not the biggest issue, but it's worth noting to be careful if you want perfect circles.) The round shape forms a classic Belgian waffle design, with scoring to break the waffle into four even quadrants. We got excellent results with both yeasted and non-yeasted batters, though they both needed a little bit of extra spreading and swirling to reach all the edges of the iron. The interior surface of this waffle iron is nonstick, which makes for an easy release and simple cleaning. It took four minutes to preheat, which is on the longer end compared to other models, but there's an indicator that lights up green and beeps when it's time to start cooking. Its six separate heat settings are actually all useful: The lowest made soft but fully cooked waffles, and the highest gave us crispy crusted, browned-but-not-burnt ones. The Cuisinart WAF-200 is a classic and reliable waffle maker that rightfully cemented itself as our top pick after testing.
