Proctor Silex Double Mini Waffle Maker With 4” Round Non-Stick Grids

There's a more popular brand of mini waffle irons and by most accounts, it's a good product. Call me old (school) -- and maybe unreasonable -- but I'm swayed by long-term success more than what's hot today. Proctor Silex is a brand that has been around since my childhood (which means that it is old (school), too). I figured that, if they have survived that long, they must be doing something right, so I rolled the figurative dice and bought this one. I was not disappointed. I bought this primarily to get in on the chaffle (low-carb waffles with cheese as a primary ingredient) craze. (What was that about old school? Okay...) This makes those --and traditional waffles -- extraordinarily well. Like my old-school large (GE) waffle iron, it takes a couple of minutes or so to warm up. I put the waffle/chaffle batter in, gently lower the lid, and watch the steam. After a minute or so, the steam will increase greatly in the cooking process. When it begins to subside, you know that it's nearly done. I let it cook a little longer (until the steaming almost stops) for a nicely browned finish if I am going to eat right away. Otherwise, I will remove the waffle sooner (while it is still a light golden color) and cool it on a cake rack for freezing. Those toast up beautifully, later. Color (i.e., cooking) is uniform across the waffles. Unlike my 40+ year-old big waffle iron, the top and bottom of the finished product are also uniformly browned. Since you put the batter on the bottom, you should expect the bottom to brown a little more than the too, but this iron seems to compensate; top snd bottom seem to finish evenly. This tickled me. Cleanup is a breeze. There's enough oil in the batters I've used that there's been no need to oil the iron. (Chaffle cheese and egg contain fat. Waffle batter contains oil and egg.). Between the oil content and the non-stick surface of the iron, (w/ch)affles release easily when done. Cleanup amounts to a wipedown with a half paper towel, which contributes to the compost bin. I'm tempted to say more, but there's not much more to say. It's a simple device that simply works -- beautifully. Highly recommended.

The best waffle maker I’ve ever bought. Perfect waffles evenly brown every time. My granddaughter wants to take it college next year. The price was great too.

Working out perfect in our camping trailer. Small and compact.

This is a nicely compact waffle maker that makes standard (not Belgian) waffles. Waffles are a Sunday tradition in our family, and my wife's waffles are the world's best. We bought this for use in our RV, because it doesn't take up a lot of space, and we love that this allows us to make fresh waffles on the road. It is a little slow - we have a single-waffle maker from another popular brand that takes 2 minutes 30 seconds to make a nicely done waffle. This takes about 3-1/2 minutes, but they come out great. The non-stick surface has been great, so we only have to give it a quick wipe. The main concern is that the back "foot" of the unit is pretty thin plastic, and sticks out in a way that is vulnerable. So, we are careful to not bang it around our drop it. So far so good. It is this design weakness that took off one star. We like it well enough that we would buy another if this one ever breaks.

Amazing waffle maker! Light and fluffy waffles!

Totally non-stick. Heats up quickly. Stores easily.

Worked as described

This little waffle maker is not bad. I wanted to be able to cook and freeze waffles to use later. This does the job. It has a few problems though. My main complaint is that the top and bottom do not cook evenly. You can see in the photo the right hand one shows the top and the left hand one shows the bottom. They are still perfectly edible. I also take issue with the claim that they cook in 2-1/2 minutes. These waffles pictured cooked for 6 minutes. Anything less than 6 minutes and they are underdone. At 2-1/2 minutes you can't even open it without getting a gloppy mess. So no they do not cook in anywhere close to 2- 1/2 minutes. And my third dislike is that it's very difficult to clean because the grids don't come out. When I purchase another one I will definitely be looking for one with removable grids. All that said, for what I want to do, this waffle maker works okay and it was inexpensive.

I love this little waffle maker. It makes nice small waffles two at a time. Nice and small and stores in my cabinet easily. I wish it had a timer, but I guess that would make the price go up? So I just use my oven timer. Set it for 2 minutes and it's done. I make a batch of them and freeze some for later. Like homemade eggos. :)

Muy buen tamaño para una persona. En 3 minutos tienes uno o dos waffles.

Small but mighty. Does the job wonderfully

Es una muy buena compra es pequeño pero muy funcional

this tiny-but-mighty waffle maker turns out beautiful waffles quickly, done to perfection. Make some in advance and pop into the freezer for busy mornings. Keep your counter-tops clear as this appliance tucks neatly into a drawer.
