How to Get the Perfect Waffles?

How to Get the Perfect Waffles?

 

Is there anything further delightful than a waffle? Just think, and you will acknowledge the fact that waffles will always put a smile on your face if you see them in your brunch or breakfast routine. But! There is a little problem - No matter how good you are at preparing those all so exclusive recipes you will always need a waffle maker for the desired result.

 

 

Ask yourself this before buying a waffle maker:

 

• Preference - Slim and crispy waffles or full and fluffy Belgian type waffles?

 

• Quantity - How many you wanna make at a given time? Feeding a small family with up to four individuals is not a concern but for large families, it is required that a waffle maker should bake two at the same time.

 

• Space - How much counter space you want your waffle maker to occupy? You can find both - the slim ones and the large ones. Having a compact, sturdier, and lightweight waffle maker is always a boon to use.

 Those waffle makers that light and make a sound to notify every time they get preheated and also when waffles are 100% cooked are considered as a more convenient option. Cheap steam ones are not so accommodating as one can easily miss the baking process and end up with an overcooked waffle.

 

Other Notable mentions:

• A waffle maker can be highly customizable. It can provide multiple settings for brownness, consistent texture, and pulpy inside & crisp outside.
• Consider how fast your machine is. Making four waffles in up to five minutes is understandable but the same can't be negotiated with makers making a single waffle.
• A waffle maker should be easy to use and clean. They should be non-sticky and it's a bonus if drip trays are removable.
• Safety is another concern as all the controls and handles must run cool while the machine is on.
• It is recommended to oil the grids before first use, so the first batch of waffles can be neglected as they can absorb the oil.
• Using chopsticks and tongs with silicone/nylon ends ensures less wear and tear of waffles. Also, avoid metal as it can scratch the plate.

 

Conclusion

With the bounty of waffle makers available in the market, it's the responsibility of us - the hunters to choose the best-rated one.
