Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Presto 3510 FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker
Customer Review: Flipped over Flipside Belgian Waffle Baker
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to purchase this waffle baker after reviewing many others and reading the pros and cons of this one as compared to the many other choices available. In addition, I decided to visit a local housewares department of a nearby retail store to visually compare the design and quality of the many machines on the market. This Presto Waffle Baker, in my opinion, is far and above superior to anything else on the market at a comparable price. One could pend many hundreds of dollars on a waffle baker but I was looking the best quality that money could buy. Overall, the positive reviews on this waffle baker overwhelm other machines. The disadvantages that some have mentioned, such as the battery powered timer are not considered by me to be a last minute add on by Presto's engineers or an enery wasting, battery consuming device. This timer is there to simply serve as a reminder and to help as an aid in turning out a quality waffle. Timers can be misleading in any cooking product, including microwaves, where they automatically turn off the power. As anyone who has used a cooking device with an automatic timer knows, the food is usually over or under done. the timer on this machine is merely meant as a guide. Waffles will cook differently depending on the ingredients used in the batter and even weather conditions. I find the timer useful because it reminds me that a waffle is cooking in case I get busy with something else. Also, the battery consumption of this timer is insignificant. I have not owned the waffle baker long enough to know how long the battery will last but I suspect it will be many months and would most likely compare to a quartz clock you probably have somewhere else in your home. As far as the quality of this machine goes, it is well built and has no obviously cheap parts that would appear to weaken over time as compared to some of the competitive waffle bakers. Now for the quality of the waffle: I have tried the recipe that comes with the unit, a couple of my own cookbook recipes, and a few taken from varied internet sites. I have tried pre-mixed, boxed mixes that require adding only some water, milk, or and egg and I have made my own batters from scratch..No matter what I do, all my waffles come out nearly perfect, with crispy outside edges and uniform pockets that are nicely browned. The interior of the waffles are almost always fluffy and full of flavor. I have found the timer useful because it helps me to adjust my cooking times. I must admit, that at first, I over cookeing the waffles because I was cooking them for more than 4 minutes.. I was doing this because all the books and recipes I read said to wait until steaming stops before opening the waffle baker. Well, I found by doing this, I was watching too closely and try to observe every bit of a lack of steam. This caused over-baking..Overall, I have found that 3 minutes and 45 seconds but no longer than 4 minutes has produced the best waffle for me. Yours could be a little longer or shorter but I would advise to not only watch for steam but use the timer, at least until you become familiar with the machine. After a while you will be able to pretty much cook a perfect waffle without a timer. One or two bits of advise: DO NOT use any kind of spray on this non stick surface. These sprays will build up a sticky residue that is almost impossible to remove. Instead, make sure you inlude the proper amount of oil in your recipe and also lightly oil the grids before pouring in the batter. I purchased an inexpensive oil sprayer that pumps and allows you to spray the oil. It is refillable and was available at a local home appliance center. Amazon may also sell a similar product but I have not checked. One more thing: I have found that approximatley 1 cup of batter is the proper amount of batter. Be sure to cover the grids but don't overfill or you will have waffle batter oozing out all over the place. One final note: This unit is light weight and is easy to store, either in or under a cabinet due to its vertical storage capability. Keep in mind that it takes about 10 minutes to come to cooking temperature so I recommend plugging in the unit and while it is heating you can compile your recipe. An indicator light will go out, telling you the unit is ready to cook. Cleaning is easy if you merlely wipe the grids with a damp paper towel, while the unit is still warm but not hot. It takes about 5 minutes to fold a damp paper towel and wipe vertically and horizontilly between all the grids. By doing this while the unit is still warm, you will be removing most oil residue and left over batter. Very easy!! Definetely a worthwile purchase and an excellent value at Amazon. No disappointments here
