After relying on sliced bread, cereal, and oats for breakfast options for the past years, we decided to start making our breakfast. Besides, it’s much healthier to make our own waffles compared to getting store-bought ones, which are usually quite artificially sweet. Turns out, we love our waffle maker so much that we break it out at least twice a week to make waffles. We also batch-make waffles so we can microwave them whenever we have a busy morning.

What are waffle maker?

Waffle makers are kitchen appliances that help you to make the perfect waffle. All you have to do is to make your own waffle batter, and pour them into the machine. Waffle makers sometimes double as sandwich makers and pancake makers, depending on the mould that comes with the machine.

How to use a waffle maker?

Waffle makers are definitely a life-changer in our breakfast routine, and we can simply pour the batter into the waffle maker and care for other chores while the waffle cooks. Depending on how you like your waffles – the longer you cook the batter in the waffle maker, the more crispy the waffle will be. You can experiment with the timing and amount until you get a favourite recipe.

It’s definitely much more economical to make our waffle compared to store-bought waffles and we can also serve our waffles with much healthier options like fruits and homemade jams. For our toddler, we blend vegetables and mix them into the batter, sneakily adding vegetables into the diet. This is definitely a meal hack all mummies should try.

We love that the VITANTONIO Waffle Maker comes with a timer and we can add the batter, set the timer, do other chores and come back to collect the waffle.

This mini waffle maker is also one of the cheapest in the market and making breakfast just got a lot cheaper.

We found this waffle maker while trying to find one for our toddler. One waffle made from this mini waffle maker is perfect for a toddler, and if you are doing BLW (baby-led weaning), these are perfect to cut in small sizes and for your toddler to grip. We love that the waffle maker is very small and light, and if we going overseas, we can pack them in our luggage to make healthy breakfast for our toddler.

One of the best brands of waffle makers in the market, Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker is the waffle maker to get if you want to cook a perfect brown crispy Belgium waffle that looks exactly like what you get from cafes and ice cream parlours. The Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker is almost foolproof if you want to recreate instagram-worthy waffles at home.

We are honestly very intrigued by the browning control. There is a setting that you can dial to control the amount of browning you want to be done on your waffle. The more brown it is, the more crispy it will get. The most optimal setting to get perfect cafe-like waffles would be on either setting “3” or “4”. This will give you a glistening brown waffle that is slightly crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside.

We love that it comes with a measuring cup and we only have to pour the batter directly into the sprout without “using our eyes” to determine the amount of batter to add. The non-stick surface is really top notch quality, and we have not seen any batter sticking to the surface thus far.

The price of the Cuisinart Vertical Waffle Maker is slightly on the more expensive side, but it is well-worth the money spend. The insane amount of money you will save from going to cafe and ice cream parlour will offset the price you pay for this waffle maker. You can also impress your guests with your amazing cooking skills with this waffle maker.

If you are a Hello Kitty fan, this series of Hello Kitty kitchen appliances are tailored for you. The entire series consists of kitchen appliances such as Hello Kitty waffle maker, Hello Kitty air fryer and Hello Kitty toaster that comes with Hello Kitty design. Despite not being Hello Kitty fans, we love the cute design and how it appeals to our toddler and makes it more enticing for our toddler to eat her waffles.

This Hello Kitty waffle maker is perfect to give as housewarming gifts or birthday presents for friends and family who are Hello Kitty fans. The make of the waffle maker is by Russell Taylors, which is a very established kitchen appliance brand. We love that the waffle cooked is the right size to make and making about 2 to 3 waffle pieces is sufficient for a breakfast portion.

However, note that the plates are not removable, so spillage can be a headache to clean up. Be careful about the amount you put inside the waffle maker, and you can experiment with the amount to add inside to avoid a potential cleanup situation. Another tip is to preheat the waffle maker first such that the batter will not stick to the non-stick surface during cooking and to spray some cooking oil to protect the non-stick surface.

Best Value-For-Money Waffle Maker

Simplus Sandwich Waffle Maker looks very modern, clean, and sleek at first glance and it is very compact to keep after usage. We love that the plates are removable so we can wash them in the sink with soap and water to easily remove the oil and grease. We also love that it comes with two types of plates by default (with options to add a doughnut plate) so we can have a variety with our breakfast option.

Simplus Sandwich Waffle Maker is very easy to use, and you just have to turn on the machine and wait for the machine to warm up before cooking. We love that it comes with a non-stick surface so it is very easy to flip the waffle without needing to scrape it from the plate. However, it is recommended that you spray with a layer of oil so that you protect the plate.

We love that the gaps in the plates are thick enough so that we can put some ingredients between two slices of bread and not worry about them spilling. The waffle maker will auto-power off when the temperature is too high, and so far, the waffle/bread does not burn whenever we leave it inside too long.
