Approximately how thick are the waffles made with this waffle iron? Thicker or thinner than an electric waffle iron?

They aren't very thick and are small, 6 1/2", but the pan is non-stick which is why I bought it.

About the same or maybe slightly thicker than my particular electric waffle iron.

I consider Belgian waffles to be quite thick. This waffle maker makes the thinner Scandinavian style waffle. In conclusion, this is not a Belgian waffle maker.

Apparently they are working with a different expectation, because it does indeed make thin waffles. I bought the Proctor-Silex 26500Y Durable Belgian Waffle Baker and have been very pleased with it.

I don't know about the 838 model, but the 839 i bought didnt make them nearly as thin an crispy as the old fashioned manual iron. They looked nice and tasted good, but definitely thicker than I wanted. Somewhat disappointing. I tried pushing down on the top but it made no difference. Hope this answers your question.

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. Some waffle irons flip to evenly spread the batter.

When I received mine, the inside of the waffle iron was in great (new shape) I use mine about twice a week. Each time I use mine, I make 10 at a time. As of today I have still not had any issues with mine. It's easy to clean. It takes a little time to clean, but easy to clean. Each time I make a waffle I spray the iron first with Veg. cooking spray. When their done, they come out without any issues.

I would say it makes waffles that are somewhat thinner than the Belgian wafflers I have used.

Use Bisquick waffle recipe...I've never had a bad waffle from using it. I pour less than a cup of batter onto iron, close lid & flip ....excellent waffles every time!

This waffle machine makes thin waffles. If you're looking for "deep pocket" waffles this is not for you.

As other types of batter (Chocolate, fudge, biscuits, banana bread, cake dough, etc.) are becoming popular in Waffle Irons, has anyone expanded their cooking and seen how this iron handles it?

This makes them thin and crispy. If you want them very thin and fragile you can use more liquid batter. Also, rather than just close the machine when you put the batter in, you can use a potholder to press down the top for 10 seconds while the batter spreads to ensure they are thin. We make waffle cones for ice cream with the machine so we want them thin and crispy but not to easily break. Our waffle cones are about 2mm thick (an estimate).

by my tape measure they are 6 1/2" by 1 1/4 inch thick. i am also adding a couple of photos to my original post. i have found the omelet and pancake side to be good, though the waffle side better.

There is a knob on top of the waffle maker that you adjust for light to darker waffles. I have found turning the knob half way makes a golden brown waffle that is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I use a heart healthy biscuit mix and they are delicious. We are very happy with our purchase.

No, it's not the thickness of belgium, which I prefer. It makes normal sized waffles. It's a wondeful waffle maker!! I love mine!!

I find that it takes about a half cup of dry mix to make one full waffle in the large, round waffle iron. The package is on the small size, so there are only about 4 waffles per package the way I make them.

Anne, each square is 4 X 4 1/2" Hope that helps you. I really like the waffle iron. Very well worth the money. I actually use it to make chocolate waffle cookies which my kids and grandkids love!! Judy B
