Babycakes Mini Waffle Stick Maker, Nonstick Small Waffle Maker, Makes 4

High-Five(s) All Around! We are thrilled with this little waffle maker. We have this as a gift for our 8 year old daughter. I was amazed at the excellent waffles I was able to make for our family! What a treat. We had searched online at the industrial waffle makers to coincide with our chefs kitchen and couldn’t get anything delivered in time for the birthday because of the pandemic. Then we saw this little waffle maker. It could be delivered by her birthday. It was her favorite color, turquoise, and was from a kid friendly company. I had once bought their cake pop maker for her. What was the cost of this waffle maker(?) $14 dollars? We rolled the dice and purchased this one. What a perfect gift. It needs to be plugged in and then unplugged for power on/off. There is no on/off switch. A red light on top indicates perfect temperature for making waffles. That is all. It makes waffle sticks or one full waffle. Watch the steam coming from the waffle maker as you want to make sure it is released so the waffles are crispier. It comes with about 6 waffle recipes in a waffle booklet. It heats up immediately upon plugging in and cools down quickly upon unplugging. Super easy to clean with mere wiping off of extra cooked waffle along the edges. It closes like a kids briefcase or kids purse or something with a handle and you can easily wrap the power cord to store under the waffle maker.

These waffle sticks (four total) make the size on one ordinary waffle. Just be clear that this is not one of those huge waffle makes making multiple waffles, it's petite and makes four waffle sticks at one time. It's easy. Plug in. It heats for about three minutes. Add waffle mix (we use gluten free Bisquick). Close waffle maker. When light shuts off (between 3 and 5 minutes) waffles are done. We've also made with blueberries in the batter and they turn out great. Easy to remove waffles and use again. Wipe clean when cooled. The best thing is my kids love these for dipping. Easy hand held waffle sticks for both toddlers and teens. In fact, my 13 year old has been making his own waffles since we got this. Perfect snack and easy for him to learn more about cooking and kitchen safety. Very happy with purchase. This would make a nice gift for a teen or family.

I wanted a waffle maker that was lighter and less cumbersome than my old one and this one fits the bill. It makes 4 waffle sticks at a time but only takes a few minutes to make each batch. I used a recipe that came with it and tweaked it by using a gluten free flour. The waffles were delicious and I was able to remove them easily. Grandkids loved them! Clean up is easy, too. I guess the waffle maker was supposed to come with a measuring cup so you don’t overflow the grids. Mine did not have one and that would have been helpful as the recipes do not give a specific measurement for filling the grids. Still, over all, that doesn’t bother me enough to drop a star. It’s a nice little machine!

Spray the iron extra good to keep from sticking grandkids love it

We use this thing almost every day it seems in our house! Something about eating food in "stick" form is just more fun for kiddos. It's become my go to way to make French toast. 4 minutes and you have 4 perfectly cooked "sticks" (although it's better with thicker sliced bread FYI). We make pancake dippers with it, macaroni and cheese bites, hasbrowns, and occasionally waffles. It's fool proof, easy to clean (though it would be AMAZING if the plates came off to wash), and it's small so you can toss it in any cabinet you have to store it. I will never stop telling people, especially parents, to buy this.

Well, I've had to edit this after a few day's use. I can't find a recipe that gives me a crisp, light waffle in this iron. It's soggy and limp for ten minutes straight, until it becomes too dark, and then it's still kind of limp. Might as well be making pancakes if I'm going to have that result. I went to the trouble of beating an egg white and folding it into the rest of the ingredients in a recipe larger than what I want to be making. Still limp, still soggy, though it puffed up nicely and browned perfectly (though not fast.) I think it just ought to be a little hotter, but there's no way to do that. I'm considering sending it back. For what it's worth, careful use of the veggie spray from Aldi's has kept my waffles from sticking even once. Original review: Great for small portions. I'm glad I bought it. The big waffle iron is just a pain to use and clean. 1 cup buttermilk pancake mix, 1 cup milk, 1 egg, and 1/8 cup vegetable oil makes about the right amount for two people. Use a bit of vegetable oil spray before pouring your batter. The instructions say there's a measuring cup enclosed but there isn't. A scant (slightly under) 1/2 cup of batter seems to work. The flimsy plastic latch is clearly going to break in no time flat, but it isn't necessary during cooking. Use it gently for storage only and maybe it'll hold up.

My granddaughter loved it!

I have used this many times since receiving it & have grown so fond of it! I read reviews prior to ordering, aware of the fact it is for small quantities & will take longer to make larger batches...but this is exactly what I wanted! Even when I bring it to my family home & make more than usual, I don't find it takes an excruciatingly long time..& people just start eating those that are ready while we finish the last of the batch. ;) I like to add some butter or margarine to grill before it gets hot or in between waffles (being careful once on). Startup, heating light & cleaning are all straightforward per helpful guidebook..just be cautious of not touching hot grill or steam that may come out.

Bought this to make chaffles on my keto diet and it makes 4 individual sticks. It's great. Heats up fast, cooks quick and easy to clean up. Great buy.

Muy buen producto, es de las mejores marcas, quedan super lindos y suaves.

I am happy with my waffle maker.It is easy to use and it does not take a very longtime to heat up.It is better not to mix fruit on the waffle grill.Way to messy to clean.Makes nice Waffles for kids.Happy with my purchase! Definitely recommended this waffle maker. Makes a nice gift!

Realmente la ame , súper practica , y quedan muy buenos los wafles , aun así que sean en barritas . Pero me fascina como los deja crujientes que en lo personal así me gustan los wafles . Muy buena inversión y mi hijo encantado con su comida . Calienta súper rápido y se limpia fácil .

La caja venía maltratada pero por dentro buen empaque. Quedan súper bellos pero de vdd son miniatura, en cuanto a tamaño es como si hicieras solo 1 wafle completo pero queda súper bien. A mi bebé le encantaron y se hacen en 5 min No se pega. Súper recomendable
