I am looking for a thiner waffle cooker and this looks like it. I do not want a thick waffle. This says 1/2 thick...can anyone verify that?

It looks like a belgium, but it is not. It produces an average waffle and depending on the recipe you use, it can be thin. If you like thin, which I do, use Martha Stewart's waffle recipe, you can find it free on line. It uses buttermilk and is delicious. I love mine....best waffle maker I've ever had. By the way, use a #10 scoop leveled for putting the waffle batter in the maker, and it will be perfect....

I ordered this waffle iron because it is very functional and Cuisinart has quality products. In my opinion, it has a quality look to it. The only thing I would change is to have removable plates. However, the option doesn't seem to be available for a product of this size. Good luck!

They are not Belgian, meaning they are not the thick waffles. These are regular thin waffles.

My does too, I am going to try another recipe. I did notice when I put them in a warm oven when I'm cooking the others, the waffles that are put in the oven first are better (drier in the middle). But they are supposed to be moist on the inside but not sure how much

Apparantly they are less than the 1.25" Belgian styles, which to me is a thin pancake shaped like a waffle. I'll be tossing this one out of my cart!

These will be a standard waffle maker as opposed to a thicker Belgian Waffle maker. The thickness of your waffle will also be determined by the amount of batter you use. Less batter will mean a thinner waffle and the opposite will be true as well.

No - not as deep of holes as a traditional Belgian waffle maker. I prefer these thinner waffles to Belgian style myself.

I am certainly not a waffle expert, but this seems to make waffles that are not as thick as Belgian, but not thin (like Scandanavian waffles); more like something in between. I use 2/3 cup of batter (as suggested in the included recipe booklet) and they are medium thickness. I imagine you could use less batter and make them thinner. They are NOT as thin as Eggo frozen waffles. Hope this helps.

It depends on your batter and how it rises, but the instructions say 1/4 cup of batter and we get about 1/2 inch thick waffles. My wife loves it.

Some waffle irons flip to evenly spread the batter. This is important in commercial applications where the visual presentation of the product is crucial and can save on batter - you can use less batter to get a thick, complete waffle. The waffle iron presses, such as this one, rely on the expansion of the batter to create a complete waffle. Sometimes in order to get a full, thick waffle, you have to use a little more batter, which often ends up spilling over to the side. It's a trade-off - if you don't want spills, use less batter with the potential for a slightly incomplete waffle. Since you want "thick waffles," use plenty of batter and clean up the overflow when you're done.

no, that'd be fine. I thin, it means not on stove top element that's on. like someone's that dumb?! but if they had to say it, I guess probably so.

I have searched relentlessly and I have been unable to find one single traditional (non Belgium) waffle maker that doesn't have PTFE/PFOA type non-stick. I have only looked at ones under $100. I want either no non-stick or ceramic non-stick.

We have found that it depends a lot on the consistency of the batter. If it's a thicker batter, the waffles will be thicker. If the batter is thinner, so too will be the waffles. It makes wonderful waffles, no matter if they're thick or thin!

Yep, I understand. We love "George", but I never had any luck with waffles. I used every heat setting when making them. Used Pam and whatever else was available to make them slide out. I'd really like to watch someone who's had success with waffles to see what I'm doing wrong. How hard can it be?

Of course you are talking to a retired Chef here yes this is a great Waffle Iron that does make 1/2" waffles the same size as Eggo's in order to make those large Waffles U do have to seperate those eggs, mix your batter with the yokes only, after your batter is made take your egg whites and beat them until peaks are present and visable then you fold the egg whites mixture in to the batter this will make them a little larger and a lot lighter, other wise just plain batter this machine is great for your 1/2" waffles

Like the other respondents, I haven't had any trouble at all with unevenly baked waffles. I don't measure the amount of batter I use, but I do take care not to overfill each compartment. I have the temp set at about 2/3 maximum, I flip the cooker over immediately after closing the lid, and just wait for the "Ready" light to come on. You might want to keep an eye on the steam that's released during cooking - if a lot of steam is still being vented when your Ready light comes on, just let the waffle cook a while longer. A defective cooker could also be the problem. Good luck!

Hello, the waffles produced by this appliance are not extremely thick. The waffles produced are similar to those on the picture, but cannot be thicker. Contrary to good old cast iron waffle pans that you would flip, this one does not flip, but it cooks very evenly if your dough is well done. I really like this waffle maker (especially for its price)
