Presto 03512 Stuffler Stuffed Waffle Maker, Belgian, Large, Black

I’m so impressed with this waffle maker! Right out of the box the non-stick surface worked beautifully — I didn’t have a single waffle stick, and cleanup was unbelievably quick and effortless. The cooking plates are high quality and feel durable, and the whole unit seems well built for frequent use. This delivers great value for the money — it cooks evenly, consistently, and the results are always crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love that I can make fun stuffed waffles with all kinds of fillings, and the built-in tongs make removing them a breeze. Cleanup takes minutes thanks to the excellent non-stick surface, which really makes everyday use stress-free. Highly recommend if you want a reliable waffle maker that performs perfectly right from the start!

The biggest surprise to me after buying this was that pancakes and waffles use the SAME BATTER! PROs: ZERO learning curve. The only failure you may see is a first batch burned or undercooked. VERY forgiving. You do NOT need to be overly concerned about putting exact amounts of batter or filling in the device. Batter expands - but only as much as needed. You won't see batter exploding out of the sides as it cooks, and you won't find empty pockets when you open it up. When using "complete" batter mix, you don't need to measure anything. You can eyeball the mix and water. You know the general consistency you are looking for. Too thick? It still works. Too thin? It still works. And still tastes the same... I put A LOT of filling (chicken, cheese, avocado) in one batch and barely covered the top and bottom with batter. I thought for certain it would be a disaster. Let it go to 6 min and it came out perfect. Yes, top and bottom of waffle was pretty thin, but it still came out great. A recommendation: Don't be shy about adding sauces (i.e guac, mayo, mustard, etc) as part of the filling. Carefully layering sandwich ingredients into the waffle after bottom layer is poured is a NO NO! Instead, prepare your filling stack before adding any batter. That way you can pour the lower layer, immediately drop in the prepared stack, and pour batter over it. In fact, I spread some sauce on my layers as I pre-make them. Don't be concerned about getting filling too close to the round edge. When the batter cooks, it will expand and press the fillings into the center. Just leave enough room for SOME batter. VERY large serving. This makes a THICK waffle. Easily 2 servings. EASY cleanup - as in NO cleanup. Nothing sticks to this thing EASY storage - when you are done, flip it vertically, use the little locking device, and store it. So simple. Works with many filling types. Cold sliced cheese easily melts as a filling. CONs: $50 is a lot for this product. Cannot easily tell when it is done. Instructions recommends 8 minutes. I find 6 is fine. It will depend on how much filling you have and what type, Not for use with raw eggs - need to cook them before adding as a filling. This is probably the biggest con. It can be tricky to remove a filled waffle from the unit. You will have a habit of trying to use the side tongs as "tongs". The waffle will easily slip out of their grasp. I put a paper plate upside down on top of the waffle and flip the oven over, letting the waffle fall on to the plate. Once removed from the unit, let the waffle cool on a plate, flipping it every minute or so. If you don't you will end up with a very soggy waffle on top (from the steam) and on the bottom (from filling fluid soaking through).

The stuffed waffle maker is a game-changer for breakfast lovers! It’s incredibly easy to use, heats evenly, and produces perfectly golden waffles with delicious fillings inside every time. I’ve stuffed mine with everything from fruit and cream cheese to scrambled eggs and bacon, and each creation turns out beautifully. Cleanup is simple too—the nonstick plates wipe clean with no hassle.The best part is how creative you can get. It makes breakfast fun again, and my family looks forward to weekend waffle experiments now. If you enjoy cooking and want to impress guests with something unique, this stuffed waffle maker is absolutely worth it.

This stuffed Belgian waffle maker is such a great addition to my kitchen. It makes thick, fluffy, golden waffles with a nice crisp outside and soft inside — and the best part is having space to add your favorite fillings and being able to stuff them with all kinds of things like fruit, chocolate, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ham, you name it! The nonstick surface works well and they come out golden and delicious every time. Also, it’s very easy to clean after use. You do have to be careful to not overfill it so that it won’t overflow, but once you get the hang of it, it works great. It’s so fun to use and a great way to level up your breakfast in a cinch.

I gave this as a christmas gift to a housemate, and made some waffles with leftover christmas dinner the day after. It was so simple! it has a couple batter recipes, and I just made the classic waffle mix and added some leftover ham and stuffing as a filling and on top, and drizzled some hot honey over. I was delicious and very simple to make. It makes an amazing gift for others or yourself. I would like to tell future buyers that the light does not indicate weather it is ready or not, it just lights up when it is powered on. otherwise, I compeletely recommend this!

These are so much fun. We love to have family waffle night, and make savory and sweet waffles for dinner. My adult children got one and they bring it over so we can make more than one at a time. I was amazed how easy and wonderful they turn out.

Really? I mean do I really need another kitchen gadget? YES! OMG, stuffed waffles are the next level of enjoyable eating. And low carb too - say what? Yep. Not low calorie so don't go wrong thinking that, but for making stuffed waffles that end up with a super low Net carb count, totally worth getting this amazing gadget. And I, like many who have purchased this gadget, also watched Steve of Perfect Keto on YouTube and had to give this thing and his recipes a try! From there your only limits are your eating lifestyle and your imagination. I don't do dairy - so I had to tweak a recipe to work for my needs - after making the original recipe for my daughter and stuffing it with little balls of mozzarella cheese. She loves her newfound pizza option. And I stuffed mine with cashew cream cheese and, oh man, so happy to also have a pizza option that is delicious (to me). Okay, so how hard is it to use? Not at all. As with all new things there is a small learning curve and developing a comfort zone - that comes after making about two stuffed waffles. You do learn that you are actually making about 8 of the daisy waffle maker (or eggo frozen) sized waffles, plus whatever you stuff them with. You also have to learn what works good as stuffing - all pre-cooked things, cheese works amazingly well, and cream cheese comes out pretty darn good too. Some stuffing items can cause the batter to not cook fully, but that's a trial-and-error thing (as is with most try it as see types of cooking). Never use raw meats as they won't cook and ruin your batter too. With mine, the ring thing doesn't sit flat on the maker, so I quickly learning that when I fill the base I have to press down on the ring for a few seconds and then the batter cooks just enough to hold it in place and I can continue to stuff and fill it, close it, and then flip it, wait about 8 minutes and it's done. Not many stuffings required longer times (nothing over 9 minutes). Cheese in the batter does make the batter cook dark and almost looks burnt, but that's the nature of the cheese. I find if I go for a lighter cooked batter that in inside doesn't fully cook to my liking. Different batters cook a different color. You will need to slip a spatula under a well stuffed - waffle to insure it doesn't break as you lift it and move it to a cooling rack - a must do step, to allow it to firm up as it cools a bit. Then slice it and eat. I've found a half of a stuffer works perfect for me - as that is really eating 4 mini waffles with stuffing. Of course, I can go overboard and eat the entire stuffed waffle and pretty much be full for the day. If you've been looking for an alternative for pizza or calzones, then give this a try and search YouTube for recipes and then use your imagination to get the flavor profile that suits your taste of what a pizza should taste like. I love diced pepperoni in the batter and stuffing it with non-dairy cream cheese. Oh my is that good to my mouth and brain, and super filling. And it's not super large, so fairly easy to find space to store this too. Great gift idea. Those strawberry and cream cheese stuffed waffles are fantastic!

This is a fun and versatile waffle maker. The directions are clear and have a guide about cooking times. The waffles come out fluffy. It's very durable and smaller than my other waffle iron. By following the directions, the heart cooks evenly and thoroughly. Use a regular waffle recipe OR cake batter!
