I think part of the reason you're having inconsistent fillings is because you're not using a spatula to get out all of the batter, so there's going to be an inconsistent amount left clinging to the walls of whatever you're using to pour.

I find just pouring my batter into the middle works with my round Belgium waffle maker... the batter spreads out by itself (and with the help of the top). I find one cup works great, but that also depends on how thick your batter is and how much it puffs up.
@ChibiChidorii2 жыл бұрын
As someone that has worked making waffles and has an offbrand version of the Oster waffle iron at home, a good rule of thumb is to put enough batter to cover every single square, it works for most waffle makers. It spreads to make a whole circle without overfilling. I can tell you measuring batter is not of big use because the batter, the consistency and how you make it varies a lot, from it having baking powder to the room temperature affects how the batter behaves.

Most waffle makers say in the instructions not to use cooking spray. I think nowadays all of them have a nonstick coating, and using cooking spray will cause it to build up over time and the waffle maker will start to work worse. This doesn't apply to ones that aren't nonstick, but unless you have something from many decades ago, everything they sell is nonstick. Even my $279 Breville waffle maker pro is nonstick. So do not use cooking spray unless you plan to clean it super well, and most waffle irons you can't remove the plates for cleaning so it will be nearly impossible to get all the oil off. You should be adding oil or shorting to your waffle batter, that'll help it not stick and make the waffles crispier.

Secondly, you can get the Brussels waffles, which are very light and fluffy and are usually eaten with some sugar/whipped cream on top.

As an American, we are referring to the yeasted fluffy batter and deep pockets; some companies make square appliances.

I being an expert from eating thousands of waffles and watching them being made by professionals, I notice 2 things most restaurants have in common. 1 they all use a commercial grade milkshake mixer to blend their batter. And B they tend to lean towards over filling them and remove the overflow before serving. I tend to prefer the Belgian style waffle style because they have more crispy surfaces and having owned many makers, I prefer going out and letting someone else making them for me. I think the key to making great waffles is something this comment doesn't have, consistency. Oh, and in the future try using one of those plastic condiment bottles for your batter,cut back the spout a bit to increase flow, great for pancake art also

I had them in PA dinners and small family restaurants and they were so so good. The waffles are huge, take up the entire plate, I could never clean my plate. I understand the firehalls and churches in the Susquehanna Valley often serve the chicken and waffles at fundraising events and that the dish is standard fare at Amish gatherings like weddings.

Great video Mr. White! I highly recommend that after you make the waffle batter you transfer it to a big squeeze bottle. This gives you better control of pouring (or squeezing) batter onto the iron, no mess and allows you to spread the squeeze of batter across the iron plate to give you a better idea if its under or over filled. Instead of just pouring the batter as one blob in the center and hoping that it spreads to fill the entire plate and not over fill. Needless to say, it'll make adding batter to the waffle wow even easier and faster. Therefore solving all the problems you had; Difficult to fill the bus shape and that by the time you fill the last one, the first one is already cooking

Watch how breakfast cooks do it, they always overfill then scrap away the extra. It's the price you pay for always having a perfectly full waffle.

"Just over 1 cup" is the secret. Took me a while . I used the "Presto flit side" Flips to left then right for even cooking. THEN stores vertical for minimum storage space.

This is my go to Waffle Recipe. Maybe it can help someone out. My waffles turn out very fluffy and taste awesome. You can half the recipe for a smaller portion. 2 cups of All-Purpose Flour 1 ½ Tbsp of Baking Powder 2 Tbsp of Granulated Sugar 2 Eggs ½ tsp of Salt 1 ½ cups of Whole Milk ½ cup of Unsalted Butter, melted 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract The Bella looks awesome.. I may invest in one.

@@More_Row It adds a bit more flavor. Kind of like making cookies. If you want your waffles/pancakes to have a little extra flavor, it's a nice add. Definitely only add a little though. Too much and you will overpower the taste.

Hello. Is this recipe vegan, gluten free, sugar free, low carb, low cost, low morale?

Try using the one cup of batter but also lightly spread it out so it's even all around. I have found this to be the best method. Also, I love the Dash. It is great portion control. You can make a batch which makes about 8-9 waffles. You can then freeze them. Just pop them in the toaster for a quickie. The Dash also shuts the light off when the waffle is done no timer needed.

The Bella seems great! Oster seems way too Finnicky. Dash seems cute if you like mini waffles

I would absolutely love to see a review of waffle makers that specifically make the thinner style waffles. Can never find reviews on them. Love the channel. I always had researched my own stuff (had my own personal subscription to Consumer Reports in junior high prior to internet) & got to point where weeding through all the faux review sites that now proliferate web searches just became beyond! Also appreciate how specific you are on noise levels of products (super important criteria when purchasing for folks with sensitivity).

I use my mini dash to make waffle eggs for breakfast sandwiches! Just one egg cracked into the center and 2-3 minutes later you have a fun egg for your breakfast sandwiches!

I have an Oster waffle maker. I still use it. Seems to be the same as the one that you tested only older. Like about 1985.🤣🤣 I had the same problem that you had by using the recommended portion of batter. Other than that, I tried many of the recipes in the accompanying manual successfully.

I have the Oster & I always cook it on high & let it cook till golden brown. I eye ball the amount and it always comes out great for me. I never oil or spray mine. I like it. I usually cook it for about 5 or so minutes. Mine looks like your attempt # 3 in size and attempt #5 in color. When u say crispy that's bcuz of the oil. I don't add oil. With the Oster you just have to leave it in longer for a darker color your looking for color like the other maker the one you have to flip over.
@JasonHalversonjaydog2 жыл бұрын
with your issues with the oster, i'd much rather underfill it than overfill. your attempt #4 looked perfect to me, i wouldn't call that underfilled at all

I've used the dash for several years. Love it for how easy it is use and how fast it heats up. I like the pancake dash even more which I use at least several times a week to make breakfast sandwiches. Use for the sausage first then the egg, so egg fries in sauage fat no extra oil needed :) By the way, when I purchased the dash it was just $9 so clearly it has increased in price.

I just got the Bella, it rules. Consistent heating and browning of the waffles. No complaints. I have celiac disease and have to use gluten free flour which doesn’t brown or get as crispy as glutinous flour. This iron does a good job of crisping gluten free batter.

I have liked a lot of the Dash products. Last year i bought 2 sets of the waffle maker and mini maker on sale for $19.99 each. I will have 2 waffles being made while 1 mini maker is cooking an egg and the other cooking a breakfast patty to make a nice breakfast sandwich. I want to get one of the new mini pie makers but they always sold out.

Great review man ! In my humble opinion the Waring Pro is the best out there I got mine for 50 bucks, but prices have gone up to 80 or 90 recently. Would love to see a review of higher end waffle makers too ! Be well brother !

I bought the Dash waffle maker (same color) for myself for my Birthday and have made some nice waffles with them, though I tend to cook them longer to get them browned more. I'm about to make some chocolate waffles now with it thanks to this video 😋

If you use a piping bag (especially when you're cranking them out) a lot easier getting a more even fill and controlling your batter.

My opinion - I love waffles. I don't have any of these. My favorite is the Presto Stuffler, for actually making serious waffles that are fun, and a real meal. I am waiting on the Proctor Silex double mini waffle maker, I think that will let me make my own Eggos. The Stuffler is amazing, so far I have used pancake and cornbread mixes, mostly stuffed with meat, black beans, or both. Plus breakfast egg combos, you can make any meal with it. But, I want to make my own Eggos, I think the mini one will do that.

The bella seems great. i like them a littld cripy too but maybe a little less than you do and it cooks fast! could probably pull it at 2 mins and be good! You did such a great thorough test though. Way more than i would ever expect but doing that really exposed for instance the inconsistency of the Oster.
