How to choose a waffle iron?
Delicious and healthy waffles are those prepared at home. A simple way to cook them is to use a waffle iron.
What are electric waffle irons?
Despite the breadth of the model range, waffle irons fall into two broad categories, and the thickness of the waffles is of decisive importance:
- American or classic style (products are designed for the preparation of thin products);
- Belgian style (ready waffles lush).
How not to be mistaken with the choice of waffle makers?
To buy a useful thing that you will often and gladly use, take into account simple criteria that will facilitate the choice and allow you not to spend extra money on unnecessary functions of the device.
The size
The dimensions of the electric waffle iron are directly dependent on the size of the kitchen. In a modest-sized kitchen, a large waffle-iron will look ridiculous and interfere, wherever it is placed and stored.
- For small kitchens, look for compact models that have a cord compartment.
- In large kitchens, the size of the waffle iron does not matter.
Coating
Modern models are available only with Teflon coating. Due to this, you can cook with a minimum amount of fat and easily remove the finished delicacy. High-quality coating is applied evenly, not noticeable bubbles, irregularities or bald spots.
Housing
The case of the waffle iron is made of metal or plastic. Metal products are expensive. Plastic is cheaper and prettier, but will last less.
Pay attention to the presence of a thermostat
Choose models with a thermostat that will maintain a constant temperature inside the waffle iron. With such a function, it is not necessary to constantly switch off and on with the device, make sure that the waffles are not burnt and evenly cooked - the waffle maker with a thermostat will do everything herself.
Note the presence of a temperature controller
Look for models with a thermostat, with its help you set the temperature (from 180 to 250aboutC) depending on the recipe of cooking waffles.
Among the useful features can be identified - the indicator of heating and a warning lamp. With the help of the first you will know when it is time to pour the dough, and the test lamp will give a signal that the waffles have been baked and it is time to take out.
With a high-quality waffle iron, you will delight yourself and your loved ones with delicious ruddy waffles, the preparation of which does not take much time and effort.
