Great product. Less is more with the batter to get the shapes

This is exactly what I wanted and expected.The handles are plastic but I haven't had any issues with that. I use this on a glass stove-top and it works well.I'm still not sure what the materials are but as other reviewers have suggested, I believe it's a non-stick coating. I spray oil on before each use and it works well. I don't use metal utensils and haven't noticed any wear or scratching over about a year of light use.It's relatively easy to clean.I don't trust the recipe's in the little booklet it came with as they were overly complicated. Recipe's from the internet or cookbooks work perfectly (almost) every time!

I bought this on the basis of the other reviews. I decided to go for the waffle iron instead of the electric ones, as it would take up less room. It is very sturdy and the non stick surface seems to be of good quality. I made my first batch of waffles today, but didn't use the yeast recipe that was included on the packaging, as we didn't want to wait for the yeast to start to work. I used 250g plain flour, 1 dessert spoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of caster sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 450ml of semi skimmed milk, 2 eggs separated, two tablespoons melted butter. I whisked the egg whites and set them aside. I mixed all the other ingredients together, except the melted butter. Add the melted butter when everything is nicely mixed. I then folded in the egg whites. Heat the waffle iron for 2 minutes on each side. I turned the gas down to medium/low. I melted a bit more butter and lightly brushed the iron on both sides with the butter. Then filled the bottom plate with the mixture until it covered all the bumps, then put the lid down. There was a bit of trial and error, but the best results were when I cooked it for about 45 seconds, then turned the iron over. I cooked it on the other side for about 2 minutes then gave it another couple of minutes on the first side. Depending on how brown and crisp you like them, you may have to give them a bit more or less time, and vary the heat. You can open and check them after a couple of minutes and they didn't seem to stick at all. This quantity filled the iron 5 times, and they were crisp on the outside, but soft and light in the middle and turned out really well. Very pleased with the waffler.

Amazing Quality and excellent size

Mit dem Kauf dieses Waffeleisens habe ich eine sehr gute Wahl getroffen. Es gefällt mir alleine vom Design her schon mal sehr gut, außerdem kann ich es sogar in meiner Miniküche noch platzsparend unterbringen. Es liegt auch nicht so schwer in der Hand wie diese Dinger aus echtem Gußeisen.Und da ich vorher noch niemals in meinem Leben Waffeln gebacken hatte, hatte ich dann auch gleich das erste Erfolgserlebnis mit Hilfe des beiliegenden Rezeptes.Da nichts haften blieb, brauchte ich das Waffeleisen auch anschließend gar nicht großartig sauber zu machen!
