KRUPS 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker: Stainless Steel, 5 Browning Levels, Audible Ready Beep, Removable Plates, 1200W, Silver/Black, Large Waffle Maker Family Size, Great for Family Breakfasts

My son wanted a waffle iron for Christmas so I went researching options. I have three, each producing one large waffle at a time, because when I entertain a group one waffle at a time (@ 7 min. each) is not sufficient. I found this waffle iron and was so impressed I put it on my wish list as well. When I purchased it, the iron cost just under $56; I notice it is now selling for over $100 -- watch for lower prices! Update December 27, 2019. STILL love this waffle iron! It makes great waffles. I use a higher setting because we like them a little crispy. Also, the irons pop out and can be washed in the dishwasher, which is a HUGE benefit. I still have my old single-waffle irons to add to my Krups when I'm cooking for a crowd; they are a bear to clean; the irons don't pop out and it is very time consuming to wipe clean with a sponge and paper towels. LOVE my Krups! I made my first batch this morning and am very pleased! A few things: 1. I wiped down and then seasoned the iron as instructed. 2. I sprayed the iron with Pam before the first batch. With my other waffle irons I usually only need to spray before the first batch and then not again for the duration of cooking. However, with this iron, the second batch stuck -- not horrendously so (I was able to pull them off, but they tore a little). So I sprayed the iron before cooking each subsequent batch and it worked well. 3. The instructions say to close the lid, but they don't specify whether to close all the way to where it locks down. For my other waffle irons I gently lowered the lid (didn't squish it all the way shut), so I was afraid to lock down this lid. However halfway through the baking of the first batch I realized I needed to shut it all the way (instructions should specify this). 4. I started on setting "3" (medium) and the waffles were not crisp enough so I left them in another minute or so. The next batch I cooked on "4" and still wasn't satisfied with the crisp factor. The rest I cooked on "5" and loved the results! 5. Make sure you don't put more than 1/2 cup of batter in each section. It takes approximately 7 minutes to cook each batch. 6. I LOVE that the iron plates are removable for easy cleaning! This is definitely not the case on my old waffle irons. Love, love, love this feature! A single recipe of my Belgian waffles made 7 large round waffles in my other irons. When I cook for a group I always make a double batch. The double batch recipe made 24 waffles in this iron. Make a ton and freeze them in large Zip Loc freezer bags, separating layers with waxed paper. Just toast them right out of the freezer (don't microwave them!). My recipe for Belgian waffles (it's the bomb!). This recipe makes 12 waffles (3 batches of 4). Figure on 2 - 3 waffles per person; make a double batch for a large crowd. 2 cups light sour cream 2 lg. egg yolks (save whites!) 1 cup low fat milk 5 tbl. butter, melted, slightly cooled 4 tsp. sugar 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda 2 cups bread flour 3 egg whites (dump the last yolk) 1. Combine all ingredients except bread flour and egg whites in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. 2. Stir in the bread flour, just until flour is moistened (don't try to remove every lump). 3. Beat 3 egg whites until stiff and gently fold into batter. 5. Spray top and bottom of Belgian waffle iron with Pam and heat. When the iron is ready, spoon in ½ cup of batter, and close and lock the lid. When iron indicates waffle is done, remove and repeat.

Entrega en tiempo y forma. Muy satisfactorio.

Love it! best thing for me is the ease of cleaning. plates come off easily. perfect square waffles every time. the settings for browning are pretty accurate every time. I have been using for past 1.5 years; no complaints so far. I have used it for all sorts of recipes like classic waffles, savory recipes, sandwiches, tortilla waffles, potato waffles. I was eyeing to buy another brand waffle maker for a long time but could not justify the price of that one. I am glad i found this gadget on Amazo for a fairly decent price. machine to me feels like heavy duty. it is easy to store for me. i just store it lengthwise than putting it flat as i have a pretty small kitchen. I have not found that the handle gets hot or anything so far like some other users have commented., neither have i found the machine to be messy or dripping. Only thing that I wish from this machine now is that if they can somehow make plates for sandiwches or plane plates like some other brands have for their waffle machines to switch. Nevertheless I am pretty happy with this purchase.

Ótimo produto para fazer muitos wafle. O aparelho depois que esquenta é rapidinho. Como as placas são removíveis é um diferencial, só tem que aguardar para esfriar. O rendimento é muito bom, pois dá para fazer 4 unidades de cada vez.

This is an amazing waffle maker. Waffles for our family were perfect on #4 setting. I have had many other brands of waffle makers, this Krups brand is the best I’ve ever owned. I love that this one makes a sound when the iron is ready for batter and finished once the waffles are ready; no guessing is required for this maker! The lid locks on its own once closed and releases with an easy press once finished. The plates are removable with an easy press of the side buttons and wash easily . The plates are also labeled on the edges for the top plate and bottom plate. It stands up in the cabinet and takes no space compared to other brands I’ve used. This purchase is well worth it. I would recommend it.
