Delicious and healthy waffles are those made at home. An easy way to make them is to use a waffle iron.
What are the electric waffle makers?
Despite the breadth of the model range, waffle makers are divided into two large categories, and the thickness of the waffle is of decisive importance:
- American or classic style (products are intended for the preparation of delicate products);
- Belgian style (ready-made fluffy waffles).
How not to be mistaken when choosing a waffle iron?
To buy a useful thing that you will often and with pleasure use, take into account simple criteria that will facilitate the choice and allow you not to spend extra money on unnecessary functions of the device.
The size
The dimensions of the electric waffle iron directly depend on the size of the kitchen. In a modest kitchen, a large waffle iron will look ridiculous and interfere, wherever it is placed and stored.
- For smaller kitchens, look for compact models that include a cord compartment.
- In large kitchens, the size of the waffle iron doesn't matter.
Coating
Modern models are produced only with a Teflon coating. Due to this, you can cook with a minimum amount of fat and easily remove the finished treat. A high-quality coating is applied evenly, no bubbles, irregularities or bald spots are noticeable.
Housing
The body of the waffle iron is made of metal or plastic. Metal products are expensive. Plastic ones are cheaper and prettier, but will last less.
Pay attention to the presence of a thermostat
Choose models with a thermostat that will maintain a constant temperature inside the waffle iron. With this function, you do not have to constantly turn off and on the device, make sure that the waffles do not burn and bake evenly – the waffle iron with a thermostat will do everything by itself.
Pay attention to the presence of a thermostat
Look for models with a thermostat, with its help you set the temperature (from 180 to 250 ° C), depending on the recipe for making waffles.
Among the useful functions are the heating indicator and the control lamp. With the help of the first one, you will know when it is time to pour the dough, and the control lamp will signal that the waffles are baked and it is time to take them out.
With a high-quality waffle iron, you will delight yourself and your loved ones with delicious ruddy waffles, the preparation of which does not take much time and effort.
