VonShef Waffle Maker – Rotating Waffle Iron with Non-Stick Plates, 1000W, Adjustable Temperature Control, Cool Touch Handle, Easy to Clean, Removable Drip Tray, Ideal for Belgian Waffles – Black

Product Information

Sleek and narrow, this waffle iron is designed to be flipped 180 degrees during the cooking process for a super consistent bake. In fact, most chefs opt for a flipping waffle maker so let’s trust their advice on this one. Once plugged in it takes about 4 minutes to heat up. A green light will come on to let you know it’s ready for your batter. Making two waffles at a time, pour your mix into the centre of the trays and close the lid. The recipe makes 8 waffles and serves 4 people if each person eats two waffles. It is easy to double the quantities to make more waffles though. In my Vonshef Waffle Maker you can cook 4 waffles at a time and after each batch is ready I close the lid for a moment to make sure the waffle iron is hot and then just add more batter. If you love circular waffles, the Sage the No-Mess Waffle Maker is perfect for you. It's got a dial that goes up to seven levels of darkness, so even the most discerning waffle lover will enjoy a treat that's perfectly suited to their preferences. Every waffle maker we tested got very hot everywhere except the handle. Make sure not to touch any other part of the waffle maker while it's in use and wear protective gloves if you're worried about burning yourself.

For an extra light and fluffy waffle, separate your egg whites from the yolks. Beat the whites until they form soft peaks and then folding them into the rest of the mix. However, for a budget model, I was really impressed with the finished result. My waffles were light and fluffy and with a nice crisp edge. COMPACT DESIGN: The waffle machine’s small footprint is perfect for kitchens with limited space, as it won’t take over your counter or storage space – not that it will be in the cupboard for long! Mix the dry ingredients – put the flour, baking powder and caster sugar into a mixing bowl and stir gently to combine. You can store the leftover waffles in the fridge for up to 48 hours. When you want to eat them, just reheat them in the toaster.The rotating function is a unique addition and ensures an even and consistently cooked waffle. This is operated manually which means you can’t really walk away but the process is actually quite therapeutic and forces you to not forget about them.

Light and fluffy or deliciously crispy, adjust the heat setting on your stove and cook your waffles to suit your preferences.Waffles can be flavoured with just about anything but adding a little sugar to the mix will help to crisp them up. This waffle iron is large and is designed for commercial use as well as domestic. If your budget allows, it is ideal for a large family or a weekend brunch with friends. Producing two waffles at a time is a stand out feature and will cut down on the waiting time for hungry kids and guests.

Cook up deliciously crisp yet fluffy waffles with the easy to use VonShef Quad Belgian Waffle Maker. Whether it’s sweet or savoury, with 1100W of cooking power, you can whip up a batch of authentic Belgian waffles in minutes. Don’t lift the lid too early. Wait for the indicator light to come on for the machine to stop steaming before taking a peek. If you lift the lid before they are done you may cause your waffle to rip. The waffle iron benefits from a secure closing latch and, once secured, you can easily flip the iron over without fear of leaks or spills. Ergonomic by design, the waffle maker’s Bakelite, heat-resistant handle offers a comfortable and cool-touch grip. The only complaint is that the plates aren’t removable so clean-up is a bit more of a fiddle and because of the rotating function, the machine isn’t as compact as others but for the price this is an impressive waffle maker that you can rely on for an indulgent weekend breakfast. My daughter loves these waffles with just a light dusting of icing sugar and some fresh berries. Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are all delicious.

The best waffle makers to buy in 2023

There is a variable temperature gauge which allows you to cook them how you like – if you like crisp and crunch then crank up the dial to max or if you favour a lighter texture just lower the heat. A few trial runs and you will know what works best for you. Waffle makers that make audible beeps when they're ready to go earned extra points, while slow to heat and poorly labelled ones were penalised.

As a rule, a waffle maker that flips will produce a more perfectly cooked waffle because it spreads out the batter and cooks it evenly on both sides. These designs can take up more room, however, due to the large handle and drip-catcher tray. What else should I look out for in a waffle maker?Once heated you will need to brush or spritz some fat on the trays before adding your batter. The manual doesn’t advise on quantity but I found two cups to be enough. If you do overfill, the handy drip tray will save you from messing up your work top. EASY TO USE: With a cool touch handle and an indicator light to let you know when your 600W waffle maker is up to temperature, whipping up treats to satisfy your sweet tooth couldn’t be easier. However if you only eat waffles occasionally and don't mind compromising on the finished product, you can also make them in a griddle pan.
