Imagine the waffles smelling up your entire kitchen. There’s nothing that can make a lazy sunday feel more complete than a freshly-made waffle. However, cleaning can really ruin the fun. If there were only a waffle machine that was easy to clean, you’d probably sign up for even more waffle-making days. Enter the classic waffle maker with interchangeable plates which are dishwasher-safe. They are hiding right in front of you, waiting to make mornings easier with a hot buttery pancake.
Let’s look into the specifics of why these gadgets should be a part of every waffle enthusiast’s collection.
Cuisinart WAF-3000 Belgian Waffler Maker
Cuisinart WAF-300, the first in the lineup. This little beast sings as if it were a canary to let you know when your waffles is ready. The plates, then? The plates? No problem! Breakfast hasn’t ever been so varied. There’s no need to scrape dried batter from your waffles.
Charlie, my relative, did not read the manual when he used it. He ended up looking like an abstract painting on a wall. Lesson learned: Follow instructions unless abstract art is your thing.
Hamilton Beach 26030 Flip Belgian Waffle Maker
The Hamilton Beach 26030 is a great choice for those who love to flip. Hamilton Beach 26030 is equipped with a ‘flip function’ to ensure that your waffles will be as golden as a sundown. Add the easily removable grids and you’ll be singing it’s praises faster than a burp from a soda-challenge. No elbow greasing required!
When in doubt – flip it! That was the running joke at my house. Hamilton took Hamilton literally.
Black+DECKER Waffle Maker 3-in-1
You want more bang from your buck. This 3-in-1 from BLACK+DECKER offers more than a waffle iron. This kitchen trio is the best of both worlds! It grills sandwiches and even makes waffles. Best part? The detachable dishes are dishwasher-safe. It’s impossible to call yourself a “multitasker” unless you’ve made breakfast, lunch and/or dinner with a single gadget.
Remember when Aunt Patty once tried to make three meals on one plate and ended with eggs all over the ceiling? Enjoy the fun times but I assure you, this one is a safer bet.
George Foreman Grills GRP4842MB, Multi-Plate Evolve.
George Foreman Grills are not all about grilling. Thanks to its versatility and multi-plates, you can easily switch from grilling waffles. Grill in one morning and waffles the next. The clean-up will be a piece of cake if you just pop the plates into the dishwasher.
I won’t even begin to mention how George Foreman says it is a great way to spice up your kitchen. It may be less physical than his matches, but the punch still packs a lot of power.
Krups GQ502D Belgian Waffler Maker
Krups’ GQ502D is a symmetrical lover who loves to be unapologetically precise. It creates four squares, each with a separate removable plate. Cleaning these feels more organised than a desk at a library. You can put them in your dishwasher while enjoying a cup of coffee. Then, watch as your kitchen becomes a breakfast station without having to work.
The kind of machine makes my Type A friend’s swoon. They’re not easily impressable–they even alphabetize the spices they use for fun. Cleaning up and bringing breakfast to your morning station was never so tasty.
This waffle-warriors set with its detachable plates is a kitchen necessity for anyone who loves to eat waffles while hating the chore of washing dishes. What if you flip a switch to your mornings and it all changes? Maybe waffles become more of a ritual than a weekend treat.
