 Simply The Best June 15, 2008

This waffle maker is so nice. The waffles come out crisp and fluffy and perfect every time. Don't listen to the people who say bad things about it. They probably never read the manual (which is very helpful by the way). It contains all kinds of recipes I never would have thought of. Also, I have never spilled a drip or had it run over as others have stated. Just use a heaping 1/3 cup and your waffles will come out nice and round without spilling. This is a well made high quality product that should last quite awhile.

This is the best waffle maker ever! Very fast and perfect waffles.
The first time I used it there was a sticking problem but the next time it was perfect. I have a large family and this maker can keep up with demand!

I purchased my unit on 03/29/08 and noticed one change from the manual I downloaded from the Cuisinart website.
NO LOCK and no mention of one in the manual that came with the unit so it cannot be stored upright. However, a moot point since I have lots of under cabinet storage area.
On first use, before seasoning the grills I turned the unit on high and left it on for about 30 minutes to burn off the usual newness all heating units seem to give off at first and then let the unit cool off. After this, I seasoned the grills using lots of cooking oil to season up the bottom of both grills doing the bottom first and the tricky part was to do the top the same way and making sure it was level and to keep the grill open for the top seasoning. I turned the grill onto high and let the oil season the metal grills for about 10 minutes for each grill I seasoned this way.
NOTE: This does not season the tops of the squares of the grill since oil does not come into contact with the metal at these raised points.
I turned off the grill and let it cool down then soaked up all of the oil with paper towels. I then sprayed the grill while cool with "A LOT" of PAM cooking spray and turned the grill back on and closed it and let it set for another 10 minutes then turned it off and let it cool. I then cleaned the grills with a warm moist wash towel and let it air dry.
I then proceded to do a first test throw away waffle. I set the grill on the highest setting and waited for the audible tone and then sprayed both grills with PAM and put in just over 1/3 cup of batter. I waited for the audible tone and waited about an additional 30 seconds. I opened the grill and will note the waffle was attached to the upper grill, however it released very easily. I will note that the waffle was somewhat burned but I expected that.
I turned the grill down to the #4 setting with the grill open for a few minutes then resprayed both grills with PAM and refilled the grill with the same amount of batter. This waffle turned out quite well.
I proceded with a second and third waffle and both came out even better.
However, I note that most waffles seemed to stick to the top grill. I sprayed a little more PAM on the top grill and the fourth was on the bottom grill when I opened it.
I've been making waffles everyday and note that most times the waffle is attached to the top grill when I open it. However, the waffle comes off very easily. I think I just don't give the upper grill as good a coating of PAM as the bottom.
So far the waffles some out extremely well.
My old unit (Toastmaster) didn't have a lock and since the Cuisinart unit makes good waffles I won't miss or notice it.
 Cuisinart DOES Stick Waffle Maker March 18, 2008

I followed the instructions and "seasoned" the waffle maker surfaces and followed the instructions for making the waffle batter very carefully. I tried making waffles at three settings - low, med, and med-high. To make a longer story shorter, all of the waffles stuck miserably to the top and bottom of the waffle maker plates. Furthermore, any excess batter that dripped onto the sides of the waffle maker became permanently lodged in all of the numerous cracks and crevices. This is badly designed and doesn't live up to it's claims! I can't comment on the taste of the waffles because all of them wound-up in the garbage. I'd like to know what the reviewers who gave this item a 5 star rating were doing?
Excellent, but it has its quirks.. January 29, 2008

I purchased this waffle iron after discovering that my previous one failed to make decent waffles no matter how I prepared them. I needed one within the 40-50 dollar range that had a browness setting and a timer for the waffles. This one fit the bill perfectly.
It does an excellent job making waffles. It's almost idiot-proof...almost. While this waffle iron is very sturdy, flashy and very good quality, you have to be careful how you handle it.
The iron is stainless steel. There are only certain areas that you can touch it while it's cooking or you'll get burned.
Also, while the iron does have a non-stick coating, nothing is truly non-stick. If you don't spray the pan everytime you reload it, your waffles have a chance of sticking.
If you aren't accident prone and you're serious about your waffles, this is a solid investment.
