Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of VillaWare 2010 UNO Pro Belgian Gravity WafflerCustomer Review: best thing since french toast Summary: 4 Stars
WOW!!! i love this thing! my boyfriend and i love waffles, especially for dessert with french vanilla ice cream (YUMMY) but we were getting tired of buying overpriced eggos and feeling guilty every time we ate them because of the preservatives; plus i've always had this dream of starting a "family sunday breakfast" tradition - - - so finally i decided to plunk out the dough to buy a real waffle iron. i considered getting a $30 model to try and to see how much we would really use it once we had it, but this one got such good reviews, i decided to take the chance. i really liked the idea of the "flip" iron, too. it's AWESOME, i'm so glad i went for it. the first time i used the recipe for "classic waffle" batter that comes with the iron. good, but honestly just took too long to prepare from scratch, and too much mess for a couple waffles, even really good ones. i went downstairs, saying "ok, i'm gonna go make waffles," and half an hour later, my bf came looking for me...("what happened to you, i thought you were just going to make waffles")
so the next time, i decided to try krusteaz belgian waffle mix (go to the krusteaz website to find all kinds of yummy recipes), to which you only have to add water, oil, and eggs, blend, and POOF...ready to poor! i also added a half-teaspoon of vanilla to the batter to give it that malty flavor. SO much easier, less worrk, more time to enjoy waffles. also more time to make bacon and eggs to go with them. YUM!!!
the very first time i used it, i tried coating it with a patry brush and vegetable oil like they suggest - but the waffles still stuck and was a pain to scrape off and out of the cravices - i had to throw out the first waffle - then shut the thing off, let it cool down, clean it, and start over,i definitely suggest using cooking spray, which i tried on the next go-round, and voila! no sticking whatsoever...in fact the only reason i didn't give this iron 5 stars is that it is rather hard to clean around the handle if your batter leaks over.
just one more thing, about the darkness setting - the manual suggests trying a 3 or 4, and most reviewers have recommended a five - i wasn't happy until i set it on a 6.5, so you'll have to play around the first couple times, and see what you like. BUY THIS - you won't be sorry.
Description of VillaWare 2010 UNO Pro Belgian Gravity WafflerLike those used in busy restaurant kitchens, the top and bottom heating units of the Belgian gravity waffle maker are rotated 180 degrees during cooking so the grid fills evenly with batter, ensuring evenly browned and crisp results. It speedily produces one round 6 1/4" diameter waffle, a generous 1 1/2" thick, with deep pockets for butter and syrup. You can adjust crispness by selecting among seven browning levels, and a chime signals when the waffle is ready. Thanks to a non-stick finish, cooked waffles release easily. Cast-aluminum housing. 15 1/4" x 5 3/4" cx 7 1/4" high.
