We have a 3-in-1 sandwich maker/panini maker/waffle maker and love all three parts of it" - foxhat Our verdict Overall though, given the industrial feel and confusing settings, it didn't trump the simpler waffle irons featured higher up my list in terms of flavour and ease – especially given the success of the old-fashioned Nordicware iron. Type: Belgian | Removable plates: Yes | Size: 28 x 24 x 12cm| Weight: 2.9kg | Cooking time: 3 minutes What we like The waffle maker is closed and the batter is left to cook. Usually, your recipe will give you an indication of how long it will take.

This is the “smartest” waffle maker out there, boasting a “high waffle IQ” in that the cooking time is automatically calculated to suit your preferred waffle style and colour, from light to darkly browned. With a total of seven settings for customisation, I'd argue it's over egging things slightly - but then, the Sage by Heston range tends to overdeliver. They came top when I tested the best coffee grinders and also came top in our review of the best ice cream makers. Now, to be honest with you, both waffle makers and waffle irons are pretty simple to use. They both involve pouring the batter in between two metal plates and heating it up until you have something that looks and tastes like a waffle.Type: Scandinavian | Removable plates: No | Size: 19 x 10 x 19cm| Weight: 1.55kg | Cooking time: 5-10 minutes What we like A waffle maker is so much easier to use, though. Most waffle makers just require you to heat up the waffle plates, pour the batter in, and then wait. They are fantastic if you want to make waffles with the minimum amount of hassle. You will end up with a fantastic tasting waffle in just a couple of minutes. This beautiful design is why people absolutely love them. They can hold more toppings, syrups, ice cream, and whipped cream. The key to finding the best waffle press? The resulting waffle should always be evenly cooked. In the course of reviewing the below waffle makers, I considered how long it takes to heat up, and then for the waffles to cook. I looked for waffle irons which were easy to use (some require manual flipping, others will rotate, while others still will cook it through from top to bottom), caramelizing the batter to perfection during the process known as the Maillard reaction.

As we said before, you have to pay a little bit more attention when you are using a waffle iron. While cast iron is fantastic for keeping the temperature even, you may still sometimes run into issues where parts of the waffle iron are colder than others. You also become part of the way a waffle irons works because of where you place the waffle iron on the stove, and compared to a waffle maker’s automatic timer, your baking times may not be as consistent.

Type: American | Removable plates: No | Size: 4 x 12 x 10cm| Weight: 2.23kg | Cooking time: 10 minutes What we like To be honest, waffle makers and waffle irons are fairly similar in terms of the quality of waffles that they produce. Because, at the end of the day, their main job is to heat up the batter. There isn’t that much that can go wrong here, the main difference between them is the heat source. This golden waffle with butter and maple syrup is just waiting to be eaten! So let’s get started, so you can try it, too.
