This waffle iron is the perfect size. It cooks fairly easily and our waffles were delish! I just wish the design included a clasp or something on the handles so that when you were done and putting it away it would be easier to stand upright for storage.
I buy Cuisinart because of quality and reputation. I own several countertop appliances and they have not disappointed. I am happy when my food comes out the way I want and good appliances are a huge part of the outcome.
I was wanted a waffle maker that would make a waffle crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I placed the cooking setting in 5 and prepared the waffle. The waffle tasted fine but the texture was off. The waffle had a pancake consistency.
