Let's get one thing straight. This waffle maker is small. I mean the main unit is about the size of a McDonalds Big Mac when closed. It therefore makes small waffles and anything else you can put in it. I've also experimented with a single beaten egg with a sprinkling of cheese and effectively gotten an 'egg and cheese waffle' which is much like a waffle omlette.Anyway. With the right waffle mixture batter, this maker works very well and produces well-cooked waffles. Here is my recipe that will make you around six waffles when made in this maker:--------------------------Switch the unit on about 10 minutes before you want to use it. The hotter the better.Ingredients:120g waffle/pancake mixture (I use Krusteaz® Buttermilk Pancake Mix for sheer value for money)175ml milk (I often use 100ml milk and 75ml of double cream for extra luxury)(NB. for healthier waffles, just use 175ml of water instead)35ml of vegetable oil1 eggMix all the above to a decent consistency but don't overmix.Set mixture aside for about 5 minutes to settle.Spray/spread a bit of vegetable oil on the top and bottom griddle.Pour and spread the batter until the waffle maker's 'teeth' are about to disappear. Don't overfill. Leave it so you can still see the top of the 'teeth'.Close the lid and leave for approx 4 minutes. That's usually enough cooking time but experiment to your own preference. The waffle will rise during cooking but leave it be and don't be tempted to push the lid down. In my experience, this just shoots the uncooked batter out of the side and makes a mess.Serve and enjoy. Add sugar / pancake syrup / maple syrup / scoop of ice-cream...the world is your oyster. Or waffle.--------------------------Cleanup is simple and straightforward. Leave the unit to cool and then get some kitchen towel to wipe the inside and then maybe a wet kitchen wipe or Dettol wipe to wipe down the outside. Because the thing is so small, it no trouble at all.--------------------------I'd say its strengths are also its weaknesses. Being small means it takes up no space out on the side or in a cupboard. It's easy to clean and most importantly cooks the waffles to perfection. Conversely, its small size might be a hindrance when you're hungry. You can only cook one small waffle every five minutes. Lol, larger machines will make bigger AND two-to-four waffles in one go which is obvs much better for a family or a hungry person in a rush.For me, it seems perfect though. I'll make the above mentioned batter, make three waffles and put the rest of the batter in the fridge for tomorrow's three waffles.Five out of five from me. Early days so should anything change (it breaks in an unreasonable amount of time), I'll come back here and update the review.--------------------------Please do me a favour: if you found this review helpful, please tell a loved-one how much you love and appreciate them.
