CRUX Rotating Belgian Waffle Maker with Deep Nonstick PFOA Free Plates, Digital Keto Chaffles Iron with LCD Display, Browning Control and Cord Storage, Stainless Steel

I refuse to write a review for a product like this right out of the box. I want to make sure whether I give something a good review or bad? I'm confident I put it through it's rigors. I've had mine almost a year and a half now and I can confidently say that I absolutely LOVE it.In years past, some family members had to eat in shifts because I couldn't make the Waffles fast enough! Now with my Double Rotating Waffle Maker by CRUX, I can practically sit everybody down at once. I think this site might say that you can make 8 Waffles in 10 minutes, I'm not too sure about that, but I'm pretty sure I can whip out 8 in 15 minutes. They start coming out faster the more you make. At least in my case it seems that way. The speed also depends on how crispy you want yours? We like our to have a little bit of crunch on the outside. It cleans up nicely as long as you keep it oiled. I brush mine lightly with vegetable oil before I put the next batch of batter in. It would always clean up in a snap if I wasn't adding exotic ingredients to my Waffles. We give family and friends the choice of Pecans, Chocolate Chips and Coconut! One Nephew said he can't wait to have Uncle Matt's "Candy Bar" Waffles again!Though I've only used it 10 to 15 times since my purchase. When we do break it out, it's usually during the Holidays, Vacation or on special occasions. And with that being the case, I've always got a crowd sipping their coffee and trying to decide how the want their Waffle or Waffles!I don't care much for the recipe that came with my unit, but I've always been partial to a recipe of my own where I whip the Egg Whites to make lighter fluffier Waffles. I suggest you pick out your own favorite recipe in advance.I will pass on a couple tricks of the trade though. DO NOT use the Spray Can Oils on this or ANY Non-Stick Appliances or Pans. The Chemical Reaction is terrible for you and weakens the Non-Stick Coatings!You also don't want to use any Metal Utensils on this unit. We like to use Chop Sticks or the Bamboo Tongs that we take the bread out of the toaster with.Enjoy!Uncle Matt

I have a set of all-clad 5 ply cookware and was going to buy the all-clad waffle Iron but everyone I read said 1 inch thick. I had a cheaper one before that said 1 inch and was not too happy their 1 inch waffle was no thicker than a regular frozen waffle. I was even gonna buy a restaurant one because it might have been thicker but they too said 1 inch. UNTIL I SAW THIS> 1.4 inch waffle on the CRUX. IM telling you I filled it up with batter and they measured 1 3/4 inches and came out perfect brownish tan both sides just how I remember from back in the day in a restaurant. My very first try on setting 5 and it was perfect. Im so glad I bought this.I think this was a model version or something because the box was opened, not taped or sealed at all and no warranty card or any of the things you get with a kitchen item. I figured I would try it before I sent it back. Guess what? Im keeping it. YES they are that perfect and thick!One thing I found out on my own was when we plugged it in to try it before putting in batter, it wasnt counting down. I thought yup its broke...But then she said maybe you have to put in batter. i said nah, its not ascale. SHE WAS RIGHT. It detects the batter via temp drop and then it will count down, this way it stays hot, at the right temp so its always ready...well for 30 minutes anyway thenit will stop so you dont mistakenly leave it on all day.ITS GREAT, Michael

Shopped around before making a decision, I viewed nearly 100 different manufacturers and styles. I chose this one and I'm VERY happy with it. I've only used it once and I'm dialing-in the right settings but it makes fantastic, thick Belgian waffles! They are 6-3/4" diameter and nearly 1-1/2" thick!A few points worth mentioning:- It does NOT come with a measuring cup nor does the description indicate this! Instructions say to use 3/4 cup but I found 1 cup fills out better with my recipe.- Makes true Belgian-sized waffles. They are very thick and it's going to take practice to get them perfect.- I chose the single (one at a time) waffle maker. It has a traditional black non-stick coating and not the copper look like the 2-up model. Definitely not a deal breaker and a light coating of vegetable oil provided stick-free waffles.-I also purchased "SURDOCA Silicone Pastry Basting Brush" to apply the vegetable oil and they worked well. Highly recommended.- Don't get carried away with the vegetable oil or your waffles will taste like fried food. I plan on try other oils and evaluating the results.- Making waffles produces lots of steam and some of it condenses inside the handle. When you rotate it back, a little moisture drips out of the handle onto the control panel. This is a very minor inconvenience and I simply wipe it with a paper towel.- I use Krusteaz Belgian Waffle Mix and add a teaspoon of vanilla to the mix! Produces waffles just like the restaurant ones.All in all I am extremely pleased with my purchase and highly recommend this product.
