Kalorik Heart-Shaped 1000-Watt Non-Stick Wafflemaker, Stainless/Black



Makes Great Waffles!
My workplace instated "Waffle Wednesdays" and every week we make about two dozen waffles for staff and clients. Every week, this makes reliably wonderful waffles. I have used it regularly for about six months and I have yet to be disappointed. The waffles are even a great, medium size. They can easily tear (or be cut) into small, bite-sized hearts.

My favorite aspect of this maker is, regardless of how long one leaves a waffle on the waffle maker, they will seldom burn; they just continue to get crispier, and a bit more golden-brown. I have yet to see a burned waffle on this waffle maker, even after accidently leaving one on for 10 minutes or more. Also, it heats up quickly, so it's ready to make waffles in only a couple of minutes

My only disappointment would be when I've made berry-waffles, because of the berries, the waffles can stick to the top or bottom, as opposed to coming straight out as they normally do. Also, it can leave residue behind, which makes it...

works great!
This waffle maker works very well. There are several settings for cooking at different temperatures. The waffles cook evenly. MAYBE the not so heavy top grid is forgiving of varying amounts of batter, because I got very little overflow, and all the waffles were complete except for the last waffle in a batch when there was too little batter for a whole waffle. I like the simple light weight design of this waffle maker as opposed to some that are clumsy to use. When the waffle maker is plugged in, a red light comes on. You wait until the green light comes on to put the batter in. I think maybe the red light coming on again is supposed to signal when the waffle is cooked. I wait until the waffle has stopped steaming and then check it. It's either done then or pretty quickly after. I'm not sure about the red light for that. Anyway, I found this waffle maker to be easy to use to make very good waffles. P.S. I really like waffles made from a yeast sponge or sour dough starter,...

Cooks evenly, but man do they stick.
I bought this waffle iron as I had fond memories of eating heart-shaped thin waffles with strawberry preserves during a trip to Norway many years ago, and this seemed to have the best reviews of the irons that make this type of waffles.

The good:
The waffle iron cooks evenly, and produces thin and well-browned waffles.

The bad:
The waffles stick. A lot. I've tried Pam, I've tried brushing the griddles with a variety of different oils and a pastry brush, I make sure it's fully pre-heated before use, I use wooden utensils to avoid scratching, but whatever I do, some part of the top of the waffle sticks.

Once you get them unstuck, the waffles are tasty and perfectly cooked, but boy is it annoying to have to pry them loose every time.
