Question: What's the point of this? Does flipping truly make a better waffle? How so?
Document: My first waffle maker and I love it. Makes great waffles and is easy to use and clean. The only thing they could do to make it better would be to have a beep or something to let you know it's done, so you don't have to watch the light while you prepare other stuff for the meal.
Checked reviews and decided on this one and definitely not disappointed. Even my 11 y/o granddaughter was able to handle it and figure the turns and lights an all... Made them today and will make them tomorrow with strawberries and cream. We loved the hotel ones and this is even better.
Great product. It's light weight so that makes it easy to move in and out of storage. It doesn't have removable plates to put in the dishwasher; my only dislike. It turns which is so cool. I don't know if a flip style is any different/better than ones that don't flip. But, it does make it feel more expensive than other versions. The Manuel says to oil the plates before use and after use. It'll help keep the waffles from sticking.
I bought this for my the two hundred Soldiers I feed out here in Afghanistan to use to make life a little better at our small base. My guys love it. It gets used three times a week during the breakfast meal. I have had no problems with it yet. Also I would like to add that I walked in to my pots and pans cleaning tent and found my local national workers scrubbing it down while submerged in hot soapy water.
I have yet to determine the value of &#34;flipping&#34; the waffle.
It needed some cleaning, came in a nasty styrofoam situation, I wiped it down as well as possible, then fed the first waffle to the neighbor's dog. Difficult to judge portions, better too little than too much and a mess.
So this will be short and to the point. It makes nice, fluffy waffles and as of yet they have not burned. So it cooks the waffles evenly. A green light will indicate when the waffles are done. Would be nice to hear a sound however to let you know. Sometimes I get preoccupied with cooking the other components to my meal that I tend to forget about the waffle being in the waffle maker!
Cradle area where the handle pivots broke on first use. Cheap plastic used at a stress point. Poor design. Do not buy.
Works better than most reviews gave it. We have enjoyed tasty Belgian waffles from it several times since we got it.
If you like crisp Belgian waffles this doesn't appear to produce enough heat to do so. Made a batch and kept it in the machine for several minutes after the green light came on and it just doesn't seem to get any crisper. Evenutally took it out and put it in the toaster. Looks like if I want real Begian waffles (or even those you get in the hotels) then I'll have to pay extra money for something better.
Answer: Actually, gravity does play a small part... the batter tends to settle, and although there are elements heating from both sides, the surface is starting to cook the moment that you dump the batter in, flipping it allows the batter to fall to the now upper element, creating an even cook through the waffle.  Having cooked these with a traditional fireplace cast iron waffle pan, (that you also are supposed to flip), and other counter top models, I can say that these cook the most evenly of all the other possible processes known to date.  That my friend, is my humble opinion, and in the world of food, it's up to the taste to decide for the individual. I cooked and fed to the dog alot of steaks before I figured them out, same with waffles.  I'm pleased with how the experiments ended up, the dog is upset that I stopped making excess...
