Cuisinart WAF-R Traditional Waffle Iron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am loving the aesthetics of this thing. It reminds of the heavy-duty, no-nonsense waffle makers at a Waffle House.
The iron heats up quickly - no more than five minutes from off to level 4. The indicator lights are bright, and the audible alert isn't loud or shrill. Any stainless steel case will get hot, so if you are accident-prone, skip this unit and go with one with a plastic case.
I have to disagree with some of the complaints about the handle insulation - this unit isn't a panini press, and doesn't require you to grip it with your whole hand and yank up. Slight upward pressure with your thumb is all that's needed to disengage the lock, free the waffle, and open the lid. And speaking of the locking mechanism: it works perfectly on mine. It is very subtle and does the job.
The plates are non-stick and don't require oiling. I have made dozens of waffles, ranging in doneness from spongy to crispy, and every single one has released cleanly. Again, all it takes is a gentle upward pressure on the handle with your thumb until the lid opens.
One welcome surprise about this unit: it is designed to be stored vertically! The plate hinges and lip of the base make a tripod, giving you more storage options.
My only issue with the WAF-R is that I think the gutters could be a bit bigger. With a new batter, that first waffle can get a little messy.

This silvery little "pod" is actually a waffle iron, a modern day small appliance from Cuisinart. It bakes one large, traditional-style waffle. Customize yours by choosing one of the six brownness settings. There's a red light that lets you know the waffle iron is on and a green light that means it's ready to bake then ready to eat. An audible tone also alerts you. The baking plates are nonstick so your waffles pop right out. Other features include cool-touch handles. For storing, the lid locks in place, the cord wraps then the entire unit can be placed on its side.
