it was an affordable flip style, and had better temperature control and monitoring lights than some similar priced, like the presto.
it has three temperature levels (low, medium, high).
i was a little concerned with the low quality of the temp control, but i have set it to medium heat, and don't need to readjust.
temperature information on how to cook the waffles to your liking is also provided.
once it has initially reached its operational temperature it quickly reheats (as in less than a minute) for the next waffle.
the iron takes a few minutes to warm up, but once it reaches its optimal temperature it cooks waffles in about 90 seconds or so.
the temperature control has a wide range allowing many degrees of color and crispness.
the temperature control ensures a perfectly cooked waffle every time!
the waffle iron is great....easy to clean, multiple browning temperatures, makes thick fluffy waffles.
it is probably due to the combination of the beeper and the temperature settings, but i am satisfied.
7 adjustable temperatures
the temperature control works best set at 7, except when i make cornbread waffles which come out best set at 5.
once you get the temperature correct and the batter cut down to size this waffle iron makes great waffles.
we like knowing when the iron is pre-heated, but not every time it gets to the right temperature after opening to offload and add more batter.
love the audible beep when it up to temperature and finished with the waffle.
it does have an audible alarm when the temperature reaches a set point but that doesn't mean that your waffle is done much to my disappointment.
right now i'm more concerned about the temperature, not sticking and taste.
so, i used the temperature dial and turned the heat down.
at the uniform setting and mid-range temperature you can produce them with the texture of an ice cream cone, without being hard or burnt, which is kind of neat.
it's easy to clean, waffles don't stick, good temperature regulation and i like the light and sound indicators for notifying you when the waffle is done.
it even has variable temperatures.
we wanted to try a crispier waffle but setting the temperature above 4 seems to be "too high" so we keep it on 4 and get nice looking and tasting waffles that are soft, not crisp.
good temperature variation for choice of crispness.
the new iron has a temperature control and a buzzer that goes off when the waffle is done.
once i got the temperature set properly, i zoomed through my cookie making in no time at all!
every one of them was randomly patchy, and the higher the temperature went, the worse they would look.
cons: to achieve the unified golden color of the cake must use temperature setting no higher than 3, otherwise they come out with patchy color.
the griddle temperature is not adustable so doneness is accomplished by guessing the right amount to time to leave the waffle in.
i was a little concerned at the lack of a temperature control (my previous waffle iron had one) but i needn't have worried.
just allow the waffle maker to reach the correct temperature (light will go off) and pour one cup of batter.
what's important is the initial temperature when the batter hits the grids, and if you turn a darkness control too low, the grids are too cool to "fry" the outside.
this waffle iron has no adjustable temperature control; mine is set too high.
