I am often amused by companies that slap the moniker "pro" on their products. It used to mean that a product was suitable for constant duty, such as a professional might ask of it. Now it's just a slap-on descriptor for products the manufacturers of which feel need a little more excitement.
This waffle maker is by no mean "pro." The instructions scream in bold letters "FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY." The base is molded silver plastic made to look like metal. Aside from all this dishonesty, this is a good waffle maker.
I made a big bowl of batter and invited some friends over for brunch. I invited them to make their own waffles. I gave them the measuring cup and told them the simple instructions. Wait for the ready light, put a measuring cup of batter in the iron, close it, flip it over and wait for the beep. The only confusion was that there wasn't more to do: "Don't I have to flip it halfway through... or... something?"
It was fun for everyone. My humble batter was from the waffle recipe printed on the side of a box of Bisquick. Still, they were fine waffles, cooked perfectly. We all agree that the best setting for crisp and tender waffles is "5."
When you first close the waffle maker on a new batch of batter, it'll almost certainly ooze and sputter out of the sides. It looks alarming and messy. But there's no need to worry. Batter simply flakes off the sides of the iron itself and the drip pan catches the rest.
I haven't found a downside. If you like waffles enough to devote room in your kitchen to an appliance that does only one thing, this is a fun and foolproof way to make great waffles.Get more detail about Waring Pro WMK300A Professional Stainless-Steel Belgian Waffle Maker.
