Cuisinart Breakfast Express Flip Waffle and Omelet Maker, One Side Waffle Maker and One Side Egg and Omelet Maker, 1 Inch Belgian Waffles, Nonstick, Dual Browning Controls, Stainless Steel, WAF-B50

Update to my original review May 2023: I wanted to come back here now to tell everyone how much I still use and love this waffle maker. So, I planned on buying this back in 2020 anyway; however, it really was a bonus at the time because COVID-19 had just begun and we had this during lockdown and work/school from home. Well, it's now 2023 -- 3 years later and this waffle maker is still awesome. I make waffles for all the mornings after kid sleep-overs. Moms ask me about my waffles because their kids/teens love them so much and they can't seem to replicate what I do. Now...I'm no Betty Crocker, so I blame a lot of it on this particular maker. First, the size is perfect. It's a good size waffle for most people. The two-sided cooker means that I can keep the waffles flowing when we have crowds too. I tend to make a big batch normally and freeze them for school mornings (I pop it on a plate for 30 sec, turn over for another 30 sec and it's perfect). They are large waffles, so my kids sometimes only eat half one morning and save the other half for another morning. I finally found the perfect tupperware to store them too (8" diameter x 4" height) through publishers clearing house. lol (see pic) It has a flat bottom so I can store up to 5 waffles in there (I generally separate them with wax paper). Although I will make them from scratch often -- I find the Krusteaz Belgian Waffle mix is very good when you want to do it with much less work. I use the Professional version as you don't need to add eggs and you can make as much or as little as you want. I tend to make my waffles a bit more fluid as it makes them fluffier/less dense. (so I add more water to the batter so it pours easily). Less water will give you a thicker batter and a more dense waffle. Both are good, we just prefer fluffy. As for clean-up, it's still a pain. But really, nothing too horrible -- takes a few minutes at most, once cooled. I let it cool down for at least a half hour, take a wad of paper towels to wipe all the inner surfaces and use some glass cleaner around the outside afterwards to get off any dripped grease from the Pam that I use to quickly coat the inside before pouring in the batter. So, after three years of relatively constant use (at least 3-4 times per month because I make large batches), my Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Maker (2 sided) is still working great. We love everything about it. Clean up is a bit of a hassle, but that's why I also make large batches because I don't have time in the morning for cleanup. I do not use this to do any of the other recipes in videos. I see folks cooking with cheese and sauces and all that. Well, that's really not me. I bought this with one purpose in mind and only use it for that. So, for me, clean-up is really easy. For other stuff, I pull out a frying pan. So, I really can't tell you about that side of it. Original Review Written in 2020: I've always wanted a waffle maker -- even better -- Belgian Waffle maker. But I was worried it would not be used after a while, and clean up in the past for all these sorts of things was horrible. Not with this one. Every week I'm making a batch because my son absolutely loves them. I usually make a bunch and freeze them for the week because of schedules and work. I've made some from scratch; but I have to admit that most of the time it's easiest to use a mix (Krusteaz Belgian Waffle Mix, is my preferred). Directions: I use a very light spray of Pam, because the oil wasn't as efficient and Pam gives it a lighter, more complete coverage. I also make sure the batter is able to flow of a spoon, rather than being thick. BUT not too watery. I find this helps move the batter around better for a more complete waffle. I do not necessarily like a crunchy waffle, so I start with it on "3." However, as I cook more waffles, I find I need to turn it down to almost "2" because the temperature continues to rise. A silicon set of tongs makes removal very safe and easy -- kids can help on that end. Pros: Easy clean-up, very simple to use, perfect waffles every time. I've added chocolate chips to batter and fruit and nothing sticks and it's very easy to just wipe it out once cooled. Cons: If you do use a little too much Pam, you'll find it drips down the back, the temperature setting could be more accurate (but not a huge issue), maybe a slightly longer cord would be nice too. As you can see, I really do not have many cons here. This thing has been perfect so far. Unlike some of the other posts, I've not seen any of the problems with the plastic on the back melting or anything...so I can only imagine that they have since addressed the issue? I bought mine a few months ago and we have used it regularly since, without issue. Suggestions for Cuisinart: Accessories would be nice!!! Like a case/cover to protect it when it's on the counter or put into a cabinet. But I would especially love to see an 8" round waffle freezer storage box -- maybe to hold 3 or 4 waffles? That would make my day (especially ecofriendly)!!! All-in-all, I completely recommend this waffle maker to anyone...well, waffling about which one to get.

I have NEVER cooked a waffle in my life and the picture above was my absolute first try. I can't say I've been a big fan of waffles throughout my life. More of French Toast type of person; but after trying one of these... I'm hooked! It was simple to unbox and nothing to set up. It was plug it in, turn it on and wait for the light to tell you it was hot enough to start cooking. I made up batter from a recipe I found on YouTube and brushed the griddle with some vegetable oil just to make sure they didn't stick. The cup it comes with is the perfect size; I filled it up and poured it onto the griddle and it turned out to be the perfect size! After filling the one size, we closed the lid and flipped it. It turns very easily and locks sturdily in place when you get to the opposite side. Filled the cup up again with batter and poured onto the griddle. Closed that lid and flipped again to the other side. There is a bit of what looks like steam that comes off. It might be smoke but unlike cooking in a regular pan where the smoke comes off and smells up the whole place, this didn't smell at all. Funny, I didn't know how to tell when they were finished but there is an alarm that goes off when the waffles are ready. When I opened the lid, I was shocked at what I saw... the MOST perfect waffle I have ever seen. It was cooked thoroughly and even a little golden brown in some spots. No burns and not overcooked. Just simply cooked to perfection! We topped the first with some homemade whipped cream and berries, a little syrup and simply the most amazing waffle I've ever tasted. I saw a lot of negative reviews and really can't understand what people are complaining about. There was no drip of the batter and you can adjust the temperature to make it crispier if that's the way you want them I've read the people who say they are "serious" waffle eaters and I think they just don't know how to use it. While it's my first time making waffles and I'm not a frequent waffle eater, doesn't mean I can't appreciate GREAT waffles and this machine clearly makes restaurant quality waffles. We already did another batch today and we are going to start experimenting with other things you can cook up in a waffle iron (as we are finding on YouTube).

The Cuisinart Double Waffle Iron is a fantastic addition to my kitchen! It’s quick, easy to use, and consistently delivers perfect waffles. The stainless steel exterior gives it a sleek, modern look that fits in with any kitchen décor, and the non-stick plates ensure that waffles come out effortlessly without sticking. I love the adjustable browning control, which allows me to make waffles exactly to my preference, whether I like them soft or crispy. The double waffle feature is a real game-changer when entertaining or serving a crowd, as it lets me cook two waffles at once. The indicator lights make it easy to know when the waffles are done, and the ready-to-eat sound alert ensures I never overcook them. This waffle iron is easy to clean, and I really appreciate how durable and efficient it is. It’s perfect for making breakfast, brunch, or even a fun family dinner. This product offers great value for money, excellent functionality, and is easy to use. If you’re looking for a high-quality, durable waffle iron that makes perfect waffles every time, I highly recommend the Cuisinart Double Waffle Iron! Highly recommend!

The cuisinart breakfast express flip I purchased is a terrific product. Works perfectly. I did a two egg omelet hoping it would at least be pretty good as getting the top and bottom heating units temps right is almost impossible but to my surprise the omelet was perfect.

Easy to set up, easy to use, makes great waffles that are crispy on the outside and soft inside. We had bought a cheaper one last yr and there is a huge difference. This cuisineart waffle iron is amazing - makes nice deep waffles and as brown (or not!) as you like with 6 settings. Non stick and easy to remove waffle

Muy buen producto ya lo utilicé y salen unos waffles deliciosos. Muy crujiente si lo pones en alta temperatura, justo como me gustan. Excelente compra. Vale mucho la pena el precio

La compre para una actividad comercial en un restaurante. Me ha funcionado bastante bien y he adquirido una segunda para respaldo. El funcionamiento es muy simple, enciendes, seleccionas nivel de tostado de waffle y esperas a que los led verdes te indiquen cuándo poner la masa. Se cierra y giras 180 grados para poner el otro waffle. En minutos te indica por tonos cuando el waffle ya esta listo a tu nivel de dorado deseado. Calienta muy rapido desde cero, es decir, desde que la enciendes y el waffle esta listo en menos de 2 minutos a termino dorado intermedio. Se limpia fácilmente con un trapo o servilleta y previamente solo lo engraso con spray aceite. Ya tengo mas de un año con la wafflera y lo único que ha resentido el uso es el punto de rotacion, pero nada que impida seguir funcionando. El material es de muy buena calidad, sin embargo el material plateado es plastico, aunque las demas piezas son metalicas o de aluminio. No afecta en nada la calidad, pero creo que era importante mencionar. En general muy complacido con esta wafflera. Recomendada ampliamente.

Excellent to make waffle, sandwich and crepe, easy to use, love it

Since buying this waffle maker our family of 6 has waffles nearly every weekend! Super easy to use, quickly cooks two large waffles at a time, even the kids use it! Cooks to a perfect crispy outside while the centre stays fluffy. Pretty easy to clean, though the seams of the base take a little more effort if the batter spills over. The turning mechanism works smoothly and the whole thing stores easily!
