Product Description
A waffle from the freezer section bears only a faint resemblance to one made at home in terms of flavor and texture. Treat yourself and your family to the real thing with minimal effort. Pass the maple syrup!

Amazon.com Review
This sleek, chrome-finished Krups Belgian waffle maker makes four delicious, deep-pocket Belgian waffles in just four minutes--and the nonstick-coated plates make cleanup easy. A "ready" light indicates when the machine is preheated and set for baking. When your waffle maker first arrives, just wipe the plates clean with a damp sponge, grease them lightly with butter, margarine, or cooking spray, and heat. After seasoning, you can make several batches of waffles without any sticking. The machine stands upright for easier storage.

The thicker batter that's used for making Belgian waffles makes them crispier on the outside. For a dessert with the taste of the carnival midway, try putting a slice of ice cream (natural strawberry works well) between two waffles. --Irene Svete

5 out of 5 stars Great Waffle Maker! Deep Grooves!   August 31, 2008
FLYingG0D (GLENDALE, AZ USA)
I slapped together a generic Waffle recipe found in an older cookbook to give this waffle-maker a try. I enjoyed it! At first, it was a little odd, because the grooves are very deep. I am used to the flatter waffles, so I was not filling the grooves in enough. Otherwise, the waffles came out great! Nice and crispy, and evenly cooked.

The only thing I think could be improved, would be a bigged ridge or edge around the waffle mold, for over-spill. You have to fill the unit up almost until spilling to get enough batter in there to fill the top half of the mold. Or, maybe my mix was not quite right, and did not rise enough.

I really enjoyed waffles from this Krups Waffle Maker. If you like to put fruits, and lots of toppings on your waffles, I would recommend this one for you, because it has deep pockets to hold lots of flavor and toppings!



1 out of 5 stars the real Belgian waffle maker--Krups   July 4, 2008

Our original Krups waffle maker gave-up after many years use. Unable to find another we purchased other waffle makers claiming to be Belgian waffle makers. They were not, even the Cuisinart was not a real Belgian waffle maker although claimed such. Finally Amazon provided the True
Belgian waffle maker...a Krups! We are a happy pair once again.



4 out of 5 stars inexpensive fabulous waffles   June 8, 2008
D. Young (Bear, DE)
Pros: inexpensive waffle maker; waffles shaped the way Belgian waffles are shaped in Belgium; simple to use; compact upright storage; comes with recipes for waffles "from scratch"; lights work just like george foreman grill or other appliance - on when heating element is on.

Cons: hot handle (as other reviews have mentioned) - read the instruction manual for where to touch; difficult to clean, but unless your waffle maker has removable plates (you'll find these on more expensive models), that seems to be the hardest part; also, do not put syrups in the waffle maker - this makes cleaning extremely difficult!; you must learn (trial & error) the appropriate cooking time for different types and amounts of batter - more watery batters take 4.5 mins, while whole wheat batters don't take much longer than 3 mins (Aunt Jemima's mixes take about 4 teaspoonfuls per waffle at 3.5 mins cooking time).

Overall, my husband & i enjoy fresh waffles almost every weekend - I will never buy frozen again! I have yet to find a waffle recipe that closely mimics the Belgian staple, but once I do, I've got the appliance to make it!



5 out of 5 stars Quality breakfast in very little time!!   May 19, 2008
Jan's Home Daycare (Westmont, IL)
I make homemade waffles for my daycare kids about twice a week. My last waffle maker stopped working suddenly one morning! I had it many many years. I really needed a new one in a hurry, so I ordered online. I was not sure about the brand, but knew that I did not want to spend a lot of money. For the money, this waffle maker makes excellent waffles in very little time. BUT!!! Beware!! The handle does get very hot! I did read this in the reviews and knew that I could deal with this problem. The waffles are crunchy on the outside and very yummy in the inside.

I am a waffle expert from both sides of the griddle. This is the best in the domestic market one can buy. Simple to use, consistently reliable, and easy to clean. This is the fourth one I've purchased: two for me to use side-by-side, and two to give for gifts to very deserving recipients.
