Presto 03510 Flipside Belgian Waffle Maker Review

Don’t you just enjoy a good waffle? I’m referring of course to the edible kind. These are one of the most popular items on the American breakfast menu and are now becoming established as a go-to snack at any time of day. From ready to eat at a take-away, to ready to cook from Supermarket freezers, with almost any flavored addition, including whipped cream, jam and even sausage and bacon. The best ones of all though are the ones you make at home and for these you need a home waffle maker machine. My favorite waffle maker is the Presto 03510 Flipside Belgian Waffle Maker and this video will explain some of the reasons why:

 

In my view, the key to a good waffle is if it is a nice thick ‘Belgian’ waffle rather than a more flimsy, classical American style. The key to the best waffle maker is design of the two grid plates. The Presto 03510 machine is designed to produce a typically patterned, Belgian, thick waffle which is some seven inches across with easily detachable smaller portions. The grid is robust with deep cavities to accommodate the waffle batter during baking and best of all, the plates have a non-stick surface which ensures an easier cleaning task after use.

One objective every waffle maker enduers during the baking process, is the constant focus needed to ensure a consistence of output when making more than one waffle. Pouring the exact amount of batter each time is an art form of itself, let alone the changes of temperature that can occur moving from one to the next. The Presto designers have addressed this issue with a 180degrees rotating mechanism and interlocked handles. This achieves two things. Firstly, rotation ensures that fresh batter in the cavities is swirled around and evenly distributed from commencement, to give evenly shaped waffles every time, and secondly the rotation during the baking cycle ensures an even distribution of heat throughout the process. All of this action is locked-in by the handles. The final result is thick, crispy coated, fluffy waffles with full consistency, no matter how many you are making.

A good waffle machine has to be light enough to be portable, but sturdy enough to last. This machine has a nicely slim base sitting on neat, non-slip pads that stop any movement across countertop or table during operation. At the same time the locked plates stop spills or accidents due to batter spilling out as the pan is flipped about the stable, fixed base.

No busy cook wants a waffle maker that has to be watched for every minute of the baking process, but on the other hand, the waffles have to be reproduced exactly. THis machine solves this by coming fully equipped with temperature controls, countdown timer, audio and video indicators, all dispayed on a modern digital read-out screen.

With all these features going for it, it is a welcome surprise that the Presto Flipside Belgian Waffle Maker is not only a good performer, but is also an outstanding looker as well. Its stainless steel casing not only fits almost any kitchen decor, it is easy to keep clean and is a perfect finishing touch.
