What makes a good waffle maker?
On One Hand: Even CookingAccording to Good Housekeeping, a good waffle maker makes evenly cooked, thick and crispy waffles. The heat must be evenly distributed throughout the waffle maker, and it needs to flip over halfway through in order to have even browning on both sides.On the Other: Special FeaturesA good waffle maker comes with special features, like a light that alerts you when the unit is pre-heated. It should also brown evenly without having to flip the model, like with some Belgian waffle makers. It should have customizable settings, where you can pick how brown you want the waffles to be.Bottom LineWhile many good waffle makers come with extra features that makes using them easier, a truly good waffle maker is one that simply makes evenly cooked, brown, crispy waffles. Some waffle makers come with fancier irons that make the waffles in certain shapes, or have an alert when the waffles are done.
