Product Information

The USP with this machine is its Waffle IQ which knows the exact state the machine is in when you add the batter. If you don’t wait for the machine to heat up between cooking cycles it will automatically adjust the cooking time accordingly. This gives super consistent results. If there is any overflow it will get caught in the wraparound moat. This also cooks the batter at the same time, giving you something to nibble on and making clean up a doddle.

Pour a thin layer of waffle batter onto the griddle pan until the the whole bottom is covered, and cook for around five minutes. Top the waffles – load the strawberries, raspberries and blueberries onto the hot waffle and drizzle with maple syrup. For large families it’s worth going for a double or even quadruple waffle maker, which can create enough for the whole family. Those who are short on space will be able to make the most of a mini waffle maker or a waffle maker for one, which can be easily stored when not in use. Waffles can be flavoured with just about anything but adding a little sugar to the mix will help to crisp them up. This waffle iron is large and is designed for commercial use as well as domestic. If your budget allows, it is ideal for a large family or a weekend brunch with friends. Producing two waffles at a time is a stand out feature and will cut down on the waiting time for hungry kids and guests.To guarantee the mix was cooked in the middle, I found these waffles took almost 8-10 minutes to cook properly - a little longer than some machines but it actually gave me enough time to fry up some bacon, grab the maple syrup and blueberries to create my brunch of dreams. Waffles that were evenly browned and had a crisp outside and a fluffy inside scored highly, and undercooked or uneven waffles were given lower scores.

These traditional waffles make a delicious healthy breakfast but with a few indulgent accompaniments they can also be a decadent dessert!

Recipe

Cook up deliciously crisp yet fluffy waffles with the easy to use VonShef Quad Belgian Waffle Maker. Whether it’s sweet or savoury, with 1100W of cooking power, you can whip up a batch of authentic Belgian waffles in minutes. When you close the lid, be careful not to clip the latch shut. This machine needs to give the waffle a little wiggle room to rise and somewhere for the steam to escape. You might notice the lid lifts slightly as the waffle cooks. The waffles only took about 2-3 minutes to cook and I’d say they were near-perfect. They had the right amount of crispiness on the outside and fluffiness in the middle. I was also very impressed with how neat they looked.

Not looking quite ready, I left my waffle for a further 3 minutes – not the speediest.
