I've used these twice and had to flip the waffles because the tops did not brown. Any suggestions?

Hmmm....sorry for your troubles. I can't say I've had the same issue. This is what my husband and I do. We use a Misto sprayer with olive oil on both sides of the waffle iron rather than a store bought spray. For the settings, try starting with the griddle setting at 300 or 325. I tend to get impatient with how quickly they get done and crank the dial too far...patience is a key. We make a few waffles in a stretch, and it goes faster the more you make. If it isn't brown on the first try, push the dial up towards 350. Let me know if you have any other problems, and I'll try to help!

Are you using the right setting on the front of the griddle? I haven't had that issue so just curious if you tried a different setting if that would help. I think I used the griddle setting at about 300 (I think) Been awhile. Hope this helps. also make sure you let it warm up with the lid closed before cooking.

Try using distilled water. We had that problem until we started using distilled water to steam the eggs.

Good question, but I see no way to "brown" the top of the cake pop. It only takes 5 minutes and if you left them in any longer, the whole thing would probably burn. I have only made chocolate ones so far. Good luck.

Sorry David, haven't done English Muffins, but for a bagel, out of the cooling part of the frig, a setting around 2 gets it to the light brown I desire. This is the Cuisinart with the rotary dial...not one of the digital toasters. Trial and error may do it for you, but sounds like you have electrical problems with the toaster. Does it do the same with toast?

U probably just found a better price, like I did! aMAZON LETS U COMPARE PRICES, WHICH I LOVE. I bought mine 1yr ago. it's ok as a ''backup''. the turkey I did, came out fine, but didn't brown on top. anything above top 'lip' on pan doesn't brown. I also baked browies & a cake...not too bad, WATCH TIME...they baked faster. on a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7. They should've made the top fit tighter, which is why when u bake items, WATCH 'EM!

They can but this really depends on how you make your batter and what setting you use on the waffle maker. I have had them come out both soft all over and crisp outside/soft inside. Thicker batter slightly overfilled with a darker setting will give you the result you asked about.

The same thing has happened to me as well. I have used wooden skewers to do the job. Just be careful not to prick your finger.

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!

I rub some veg oil on before first waffle...that's it. The come out easily and perfect each time. Love the machine

That's odd. I have just used the brand once so far so I couldn't tell you yet if I'm having the same problem. You may have to keep stirring longer.

These waffles are cooked in the silicone pan for a time, then flipped out onto the baking sheet and returned to the oven to finish cooking. I don't think flipping one pan onto the top of the other pan will work as it may not fully cook in the middle. Also, that would be a VERY thick waffle. We put the flat side on the plate and never know the shape is missing! Also, we've had to "play" with the cooking times and recipes to get it just right. We love these pans.

The plates do not come out but no bad unless you really make a mess. Very non-stick which us good. Not too happy overall. The bottom cooks perfectly but the top never seems to brown the waffles enough.

That was just the opposite of my experiences. Mine were constantly hard (undercooked) no matter how long I cooked them, even tried soaking them overnight still no success, so it stays in back of my cabinet and took out my old pressure cooker and gone back to my old ways!!!

Make sure you have the dial set to bake, not broil. It's difficult to see. Maybe that will fix the problem for you.

I heated them up to medium, rubbed on some cooking oil, and they were ready to go. The bottoms discolored on the first use. I was not pleased but, it does not affect the cooking.

Mine did the same thing. Looks like they have a design flaw. I went with Cuisinart.

I haven't had that problem, nor has my daughter who uses them. If I were having that issue, I think I would perhaps think about lowering the oven temperature and then, if that didn't work, I'd consider altering the time. One or the other of these should address the problem...but I would find a way to keep using the mats...I LOVE the easy clean up!
