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.

So far so good! Perfect sized waffles, easy to use, relatively quick.

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.

Love this ! We use it for all meals and desserts! Make cookies, or blueberry waffles, better than the larger waffle irons.

I bought this to make chaffles, but I will make waffles in it, as well. It heated right up and I poured my first batch of batter. 2 1/2 to 3 minutes later, my mini chaffles were ready and came right off the non-stick surface with ease. You do have to make sure you portion your batter correctly, so they don’t overflow. I love that I can make 2 chaffles at a time. It arrived in perfect condition and works great straight out of the box. I had read the mixed reviews, but mine came well packaged and brand new, as expected. That said, you should treat it with care. While I wouldn’t call it fragile, it needs to be handled correctly and carefully, like any electrical appliance. It could easily be broken otherwise. When I was finishing cooking, I just had to wipe down the machine for easy clean up. Carefully placed in my cupboard for next time! I love this waffle-maker!

I'm doing keto and using low carb flours to make waffles and chaffles. This wafflemaker is well designed because if I accidentally overfill the well it doesn't seep under the plates, it just dribbles out. No sticking, even without oil, waffles come out with chopsticks. Because it makes two at a time it doesn't take up a lot of space in my kitchen and it doesn't take up all the counter space as I'm using it. Great for small kitchens or dorms! Love it! This is the best buy I've made in a while! Update: While the plates do keep waffle batter from dripping inside the machine, I've found when making chaffles which are predominantly made of cheese, the resulting oil DOES seep inside. The fix is making much thinner chaffles so that the cheese oil is contained within the waffle well and not seeping into the machine itself. This machine is still good in my opinion.

Waffle maker worked well the first time, but on second use a few days later the plates wouldn't get hot enough to cook the waffles properly. It kept taking longer and longer to heat up the plates until they didn't really heat up high enough to cook. Unfortunately, I gifted this to my wife after the time to return it so now I am out the 27 dollars.

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.

Love this little device.

Es una muy buena compra es pequeño pero muy funcional

Esta perfecta, había tenido otra igualmente comprada en Amazon y me había llegado dañada, no me duró nada, y está llegó perfectamente empaquetada y el material se siente de buena calidad, ya hice mis primeros waffles y no se pegó nada, está muy bien la temperatura. Encantado quedé.
