Waffle maker

[Marsis]

Can anybody recommend one, we have one that is part of a sandwich maker machine but I don’t think it gets hot enough, the waffles take ages to cook. Bonus points for delicious light crispy waffle recipe to go with. Thank you

I Know Lidl have their one out next week 17th Of Oct, I am going to try that its only 20 quid.

Not much help but didn't want to buy a mad expensive one and it go to waste x

Ooh thanks for this thread. My 8yo never plays with toys and so a waffle maker was on my list of things she will like that are also useful present list!

I bought a cuisinart and it’s brilliant. Also makes toasties and panini. I use it a lot (so does DS).

The use the waffle recipe that came with it (but add vanilla).

Tefal Snack Collection is a brilliant waffle maker, also has sandwich plates and you can buy others e.g. panini, bagels. I don't think its performance is compromised at all by being multi-purpose. It also comes with a booklet including a couple of excellent waffle recipes.

We previously had a single-use waffle maker from a German company called Petra which lasted 20 years but it wasn't as good and you couldn't remove the plates for cleaning.

We have a multi use waffle/panini/sandwich toaster but it's useless.

Hope you get some recommendations for a great waffle maker. Love waffles

Had my cuisinart for 14ish years, still going strong

I loooooove my cuisinart! I had a tefal one but it worked for about a month then everything just welded onto the plates no matter how much oil I used. I’m sure I did something wrong but I gave up! Twice the price but it’s lasted way longer.

I love my VonShef one.

I have a VonShef one too and v pleased with it. I bought it on amazon for not very much (about £20) as wasn’t sure how much we would use it, but in fact it’s been used loads.

My recipe, which has never let me down, is 135gSR flour, 1 tbsp caster sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt (if I remember!), 140ml milk, 1 egg and a splash of vanilla essence.
