Love this waffle maker!

Makes the perfect - Eggo sized waffles! I wanted to get away from the store bought, pre-made waffles that are loaded with stuff I no longer wish to have in my diet, but wanted the same size and shape of waffles - so my family wouldn't object as much to 'new' waffles. I was thrilled to see this waffle maker and hoped it would work well - and it does! I have zero complaints or issues with this waffle maker. Very simple to use. Just plug it in and it heats to a preset temp, that is perfect for cooking this size waffle. No hassle trying to find the right temp with a dial, and no dial to get moved by accident. No need for a latch, never needed one on any waffle maker I've owned - the top needs to be able to rise as the waffles puff for a minute anyhow - so not sure why people think this needs a latch? The waffle iron - plates do not come off, so cleaning can be an issue if you get stuff stuck all over the iron. But so far, I've only cooked flour type waffles in this and use a spray on avocado oil and my waffles don't stick. I use a silicone basting brush to spread the spray oil around and to do light cleaning as well - that is a great waffle iron tool! When I'm done cooking and the waffle maker has cooled, I use that same silicone brush to brush the waffle iron and spread any leftover oil, and it also knocks off any crumbs that may be left, then I use a paper towel to wipe around the waffle area to clean those none cooking areas and put the maker away. For one mess I made, where I ended up with over cooked batter in one area, I used a fingernail brush, that I keep at the sink, to brush off the dried on crusty batter and that worked great too. I did try making some egg and cheese waffles, but my daughter didn't like them, so those are off the menu. But they did cook well and didn't leave too big of a mess - if I didn't over fill the spots. I might try adding bacon bits to my savory waffle mix and see where that leads - probably to overeating waffles. LOL

Outstanding

I was very disappointed when I first opened the box. The top of the waffle maker has a huge crack, front to back. Thought about sending it back for just a minute, but hate the hassle of returning stuff to Amazon. The maker works perfectly though. Now I don’t even care about the crack! Cut my waffle making time by 1/4!!! And the waffles are better than before. I was gifted a Dash mini waffle maker several years ago. My wife and grandkids love my buttermilk waffle recipe, so I make them frequently. A batch of my recipe makes 16-18 mini waffles. It takes 4-5 minutes for each waffle. 16 waffles at 5 minutes each = a lot of minutes cooking waffles! I finished a batch today in under 30. The waffles are delicious and actually a little fluffier than usual! Plus there is no mess. With the single waffle maker, if I put in too much batter, it overflowed and made a mess on the maker and countertop. With this maker, it runs in to a side trough and makes a waffle stick. Genius. This product is well worth the money. My other Dash maker is over 5 years old and still works perfectly. I hope I get that much out of this one. It is lightweight and about the same size as a 4 slice toaster. It will be easy to store. I did not use any cooking oil or spray because the cooking surface is nonstick. I cleaned it up the few crumbs with a paper towel after the grids cooled off. Update after 1 1/2 years: God I love this thing!! It is so much easier and quicker than my old one. The crack on the top got worse and broke off. Now about 1/4 of the top is gone but the handle is still intact. I called my grandson yesterday and told him to come over in an hour. In that time I cooked a batch of 16 waffles, had them already cooled on the rack, and bagged up to go. Now that school is back in, the 2 grandkids will go through a batch a week.

Versatile low carb tool

I Just received my chaffee/waffle maker yesterday and couldn’t wait to try making low carb “chaffle buns” for our sandwiches. ~. The initial cleaning is of course not enjoyable, but got through that. In heating it up I noticed that the red/green button was hard to tell if it was ready or not. I just guessed and gave it about 10 min. I tried to oil with a brush, but realized later that doing that just made a mess. Next time, if I lay down cheese first, I’ll know I can rely on the oil in the cheese to keep it from sticking or just use a lot less oil. ~ The chaffles came out easily after peeking a couple times. They appeared to cook evenly, (this depends upon how much filling you use too. ~ Clean up again wasn’t fun, and I tried different tools/methods to clean each waffle well. Finally used a a small round palm brush dipped in dish water and shook out the water. I scrubbed in a circle in each well and wiped up the soap with damp papertowel and used a damp clean dishcloth to clean each crevice (rinsed the cloth often). I don’t think I’ll need to clean this deeply each time I use as the cooked bits come out pretty cleanly. (I’m thinking how cast iron pans work). As far as the Chaffle? Wow, it was one of the best sandwiches we’ve both had. Hubby said he’d expect to have something like this in a restaurant. The chaffle was made by laying down sprinkling of cheddar cheese to cover bottom, a beaten egg and more sprinkled cheese. I salted and peppered it and cooked till brown. It held together like a bun yet had a wonderful crispy texture. We were imagining all the low carb things we could make with this after watching YouTube videos on making Chaffles. Glad I purchased it!

The ONLY waffle maker you need for cottage cheese chaffles

The ONLY waffle maker you need for cottage cheese chaffles — and yes, they actually taste amazing. I fell down the cottage cheese chaffle rabbit hole like everyone else on TikTok, bought a bag of shredded mozzarella, and immediately realized my giant Belgian waffle maker was completely wrong for the job. Enter: the Dash Multi Mini. Game. Changer. The mini size is perfect for chaffles — the batter-to-crisp-edge ratio is exactly what you want, and because it makes four at once, I can meal prep a whole week’s worth in one shot. I do a big Sunday batch, stack them in the fridge, and just pop them in the toaster during the week. High protein, low carb, and genuinely satisfying. I was skeptical until I wasn’t. Why it’s ideal for chaffles specifically: • The small plates mean more crispy edge per waffle — which is the whole point • The nonstick surface handles the egg-and-cheese batter without tearing (a real problem with cheaper makers) • Four at once means batch cooking actually makes sense • Heats up in under a minute, so there’s no excuse not to make them My go-to chaffle combo right now: cottage cheese, egg, a pinch of garlic powder, and shredded parmesan. Top with low carb marinara, some pizza toppings and you have a pizza chaffle that doesn’t taste like “diet food” at all. I’ve made probably 100+ chaffles in this thing and it still looks brand new. The cleanup is a quick wipe — crucial when you’re making these on a busy weekday morning. If you’re into the cottage cheese chaffle trend (or even just waffle-curious), stop overthinking it. This is the one. Protein girlies, this is your sign. 🧇
