The Chefman Anti-Overflow Waffle Maker is a really nice product. I was definitely skeptical at first, I've use a few different waffle irons in the past and they always overflow. This Anti-Overflow Waffle maker heats up very quickly! I always make a test waffle for my first one of the batch, this waffle did overflow a tiny bit. After that first one, no more overflow! There is a nice little reservoir around the plates to catch the batter overflow. The waffles were easy to take off, the plates are nonstick! There's a dial for your preferred browning and a ready indicator light. They came out perfectly! The instruction manual also has Easy to follow recipes inside! (Which I did use) Another feature was the cup/scoop for the waffle batter, it has two fill lines on it. One for thicker waffles and one for thinner waffles. I have used this waffle maker 3 times so far and the only time it overflowed was the first one. I feel that this is a wonderful product and look forward to using it again.
This waffle maker is great! It's really easy to use, clean up and store. Plus, the red color looks great. I compared this waffle maker to our old one side by side, and it heats up faster initially and did a better job of evenly cooking the waffles. The anti-overflow feature isn't something I've ever worried about in the future, but I definitely see it's usefulness. Especially as the kids start helping cook more.
The design is beautiful and it's easy to use. There is no spillover which is perfect for me, because I need my cooking area to be as clean as possible at all times. With other waffle makers I would have to constantly clean the spill overs as I'm cooking and it was really frustrating. This product is amazing and I would love to buy and gift it to my mom as well as purchase other products from this company. There were no issues at all with the batter sticking to the waffle maker. I did use Pam for the first pour but nothing after the first waffle.
I LOVED the fact that you could set the dial from 1-5 depending on your personal preference! I did have a hard Time getting the waffles to be the "perfect" size (they were either too big or too small) but overall a nice product! I absolutely loved the color because it matched all my other kitchen appliances :)
What intrigued me was the "anti-flow" feature, where excess batter does not slip out onto the counter. I am a culprit of this. I can never measure a portion accurately, and batter spills out onto the counter. This product was a lifesaver. It truly keeps all batter in place. The waffles cook up golden brown and crisp. I appreciated the shade selector, especially because I like waffles on the "well-done" side. The waffle maker does a wonderful job of being non-stick. I did not need any kind of cooking spray or butter.
I'm not really good at cooking, but this machine sure let my cooking skill look really good to others! It's easy to use, the look of the machine is so elegant! Not only for waffle, it's has so many other good cooking use also! The most important is that it's easy to clean! It makes me enjoy to cook even more than before! I'm really glad that I got this chance to try out this free sample!
We were really excited when Buzzagent chose us to try the Chefman Waffle Maker because our family is really big on waffles! Now, people can be pretty picky about their waffles. Some people like soft waffles, some like their waffles more on the crispy side, then there's people like myself who have to make things REALLY complicated by preferring theirs soft and fluffy on the inside with just the right amount of crisp to the outside. I think that's probably my favorite feature of the Chefman Waffle Maker...it has six settings to choose from so that you can cook them to the exact consistency that you prefer. Chefman included a fancy little measuring cup that can hang onto the side of the bowl which makes filling and pouring the mix super convenient. Another really cool feature of The Chefman Waffle Maker is the overflow chamber. As long as you are careful to avoid filling the included measuring cup past the fill line, the mix will not overflow when you close the waffle maker. This is a great addition to an already impressive product as cleaning up that sticky waffle mix is one of my LEAST favorite parts of making waffles! It took about five minutes to heat all the way up but once it did, I was pumping out waffles in no time! The quick cook time was awesome and a real time saver, especially when cooking for a family of five! The non-stick coating made cleanup a breeze and eliminated the irritation of having to scrape the waffles or waffle remnants off the maker as I've had to do with other models. Overall, this is a really well made, sturdy product that Chefman put a lot of thought into. I really love mine and could never go back to my old waffle maker!
