Euro Cuisine WM520 Heart Shaped Iron Waffle Maker - Eco-Friendly PTFE and PFOA Free Non Stick Plates, Perfect for V-Day & Special Occasions, 8-Inch

The media could not be loaded. Makes thin Nordic waffles. They are great for making breakfast sandwiches and desserts. The waffles thos iron makes are great for freezing. Anyway, the waffle iron is sturdy and has indicator lights to tell you when it is ready. Took about 30 Seconds to heat up. I like that the nonStock coating is Pfas-free. Only bad thing is the cord is short-2 feet max.

Pros:Although it doesn't come apart, it is easy to clean with a sponge and a kitchen towel.It is small so it stores easilyIt makes just the right amount of waffle for one person or child (about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of batter makes a waffle depending on how thick you make your mix.)It is extremely straightforward and easy to use.I'm not scared of getting burned by it like my last waffle maker that liked to close on me unexpectedly.It's sturdy and heavy. Over all it appears to be well constructed.Cons:When you first get it, run a test batch of batter through a few times, after you clean it, to remove all the chemical residue. When I first heated it up the chemical odor had me opening up windows and turning on a fan - you definitely do not want that in your cooking! My test batch of batter was 1 cup of self-rising flour, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, water. That was enough for three waffles but could have stretched it to four waffles with a thinner batter. Most appliances like this I would run a test batch of batter through first, not just this particular waffle iron.The waffles are much smaller than I had anticipated. Think - heart shaped cookies and you about have it. They vary in height depending on your batter but 1/2 inch is pushing it. Most of mine were a little less than that.The lights on the unit are very hard to see on / off. They're not very bright.Over All: Very easy to use, the easiest I've ever used actually. Would not work if you're doing a big family waffle morning, but just right for kid portions or a side item. Easy to store and clean.

The heart shape is not just cute, it's practical. You can make little 'waffle sandwich slices' -- either eat one of the five sections as an appetizer and make sandwiches out of the remaining four hearts, or tear just one of the dividing lines and you can then fold all the sections together in a zig-zag to insert toppings between.The unit is high quality as well. Ceramic cooking plate, so less fear re. accidentally scratching it as there's no Teflon etc. here (though you still shouldn't use metal utensils).Contrary to the manual, I have never needed to spray or rub oil directly onto the unit before cooking. Not even once. Instead, I blend oil or a butter into the batter itself. I've successfully used this thing to make brownies, too. Never underestimate the usefulness of a good waffle iron!

Waffles do not get crispy golden brown like the pictures on Amazon. The waffles are more yellow. Ironically the pictures on the box match how the waffles turn out which is different than the Amazon pictures.

I have a Belgium Waffle Maker that I've used for many years. I love waffles and pancakes, especially in the cold of the winter months. Name a better comfort breakfast than waffles, bacon, and an easy-over egg. You can't. Stop trying to think of a clever answer.Here's the problem; I got old, and I got fat. So I started doing keto a while ago. Pleased with the weight loss, but miss some of the dishes I used to enjoy. Oddly enough, one of the big challenges of keto alternative recipes, is the texture and mouth feel of the food. (I have yet to find a really good keto bread recipe).I tried many keto waffle recipes in my trusty old Belgium Waffle Maker, and they were eatable, but the texture was always disappointing. On a whim, I decided I needed to try making a thinner waffle, and ordered this unit. What a difference! Give this recipe a try using this iron, if you want some real (keto) waffle satisfaction:4 large eggs4 oz cream cheese6 tablespoons almond flour2 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter1 teaspoon baking powder2 tablespoons Erythritol8 drops maple flavoring1. Add all ingredients to a blender (I use a little Ninja cup blender) and blend until smooth.2. Use the Euro Cuisine WM520 Heart Shaped Thin Waffle Maker. Set heat control to position 2 (two dots). Plate temp should be about 305f to 310f.3. No grease on the plates is required. Pour the batter into a pre-heated waffle maker. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes.Makes about 5 waffles. I top them with some melted butter, and low carb maple syrup!This is a great little waffle maker for the money!
