Heart Waffle Maker

Waffle iron works very well, even though it didn't seem to take a couple of sessions to break it in before it worked perfectly. After that it has worked perfectly, and we like the size and shape of the waffles too. The non stick surface seems to work perfectly, though we use butter rather than cooking oil spray to prep in order to get a browner and crisper waffle.The only quibble I have is that while there is a handle on the top part of the unit with which to pull up the waffle when it is ready, there is no corresponding handle on the bottom half. This means that if you have a slightly stubborn waffle, it is hard to open the the iron to get it out as there is nothing to grab onto on the bottom portion, and since the unit is hot, it can make it tough work to open the thing. Mind you, this only happens when we are making thinner, Swedish-style, waffles. . . and only on occassion. That said you might not encounter the problem.

Good product.

I love having a waffle maker again. These are a great solution for a family because they easily break into heart shaped segments. Perfect for sharing if a whole waffle is too much for your kids. The only thing is that it can be difficult to get the entire waffle out in one piece. It typically breaks into segments before you get it onto the plate. I also adore that there is barely any cleaning required! I have never had to scrub this, just a gentle and quick wipe down.

It’s great and makes perfect hearts.

The original CucinaPro waffle maker (with the handle) was built well and worked great. The heart shape was so cute and a nice change from the circle design. However, it died on me after 8 months of use. The company sent a replacement that was much lighter and felt cheaply made. They took away the beeping function (which was annoying when I first had it but I grew accustomed to it and actually came to count on the beeping). The old machine had the waffle at perfectly crispness for us at level 4 out of 6. The new one couldn’t cook the batter at the maximum setting: the batter was pale and raw. I had tried keeping the waffle in the machine 4 minutes pass the maximum “done” setting and while the waffle will look brown/done on the outside, the batter is not done inside and it was limp, not crispy. A complete disappointment even when the replacement was technically “free.” Not worth it for the money to have only lasted 8 months. I’ll stick with the Cuisinart waffle maker from now on.

Fast delivery and great product

This wafflemaker works exactly as advertised. Waffles come out easily when done. All it takes a spritz oil of your choice. I DO NOT recommend Pam as it burns on and is impossible to clean off. I usually use a spray bottle of avocado oil. That done, it is very easy to clean. I just take a paper towel and wipe the plates. Soft cloth to wipe the outside, use the handy little plastic cord winder and store it upright in my pantry.

Slow to heat up, didn't get as hot as my other small waffle iron. I purchased ut because I wanted to make heart shaped Norwegian waffles. Will give it another try with different recipe.
