mlktwins Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My son is wanting a waffle maker as a "family" gift this year. Any recommendations? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 a good Belgian waffle maker - or an old one from the 50s/60s. They do not make waffle makers like that anymore - and they make better waffles than the modern ones. I've had a couple modern ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEmama Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 We had a Krups for over 20 years. We replaced it with another Krups and it’s still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) We've had a very basic Cuisinart waffle maker for years and years. I use it almost every week - we'll whip up whole grain batter to use for 3-5 days and keep it in the fridge. My husband prefers regular to belgian waffles so maybe he has a preference that way?

I was today years old when I learned you can do waffle batter ahead of time! Is this really a thing? My family's odds of getting waffles would increase dramatically if I could mix the batter the night before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family's odds of getting waffles would increase dramatically if I could mix the batter the night before. Well, I don't know what a breakfast gourmet would say but we've had a batch of waffles we've used over a number of days every week since lockdown we've kept in the fridge! Works great over here. 🙂 I just mix up a double batch (4 cups mixed whole grain flour, 4 eggs seperated, 3 3/4 cups milk, 2/3 cups oil, etc etc etc) and we're good to go for a number of days. If we're feeling fancy I'll do some whipped cream with barely any sugar at the same time and make sure we have berries on hand. ❤️ I do have to mix them up a bit every morning, sometimes I add a little milk if it seems thicker.

It's nice to be able to make two at a time and makes the process go quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noreen Claire Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I have this one: https://www.macys.com/shop/product/cuisinart-waf-150-waffle-maker?ID=1492946&CategoryID=7554 As a matter of fact, I just bought a second one. It makes large waffles that I cut into fourths to serve. I always make a double large batch and freeze the leftovers ,but it feels like it takes forever, so now I have two!

Terabith Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 We used a Death Star waffle maker at my friend's house, and my kids were delighted. I think amazon sells them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can store upright so it takes up less space in the cabinet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
