Do the recipes in the instruction booklet work better than something like Bisquick with this waffle maker, in your experience?

Hi, that's a good question. I just do not know. I have never used Bisquick; we always make our own batter w/eggs, flour,etc.

You can use any waffle maker mixes you would like, however the recipes in the instruction manual have been tested and come out with the best results.

The recipes are fine but cut down the amount you put on the waffle by 1/4. Otherwise it overflows!

It depends on how long you cook them. It took me a while to discover how much batter to put in the machine. Be sure your waffle maker is really hot before you start.

Yes, after egger first one, it doesn't take more than 3 minutes for subsequent waffles. I like it a lot.

Nah, make it from scratch! Super easy. I don't remember off hand, but it's like, flour, milk, maybe an egg, bacon, whatever you need to add. The recipes are in the book and are pretty simple. Each batch so far has come out great. And I put regular human waffle mix in there and you get waffle sticks in hilarious shapes.

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?

The electric waffle iron is wonderful. Heats up in 3-5 min. and Mickey indicator lets u know when it's ready to cook. Waffles take about 3-6 min. depending on ingredients. Mine were perfect on the 1st try.

I love this waffle maker. It doesn't seem to be non- stick. I spray some spray butter on before adding the waffle batter. It works great. I think you would have to do this with any waffle maker.

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!

I have only made pancakes, waffles, and omelettes with it. I wouldn't see it working. The one thing I don't like about it is that you can't switch out the plates so I'm pretty sure you would have a very hard time with wraps and such. Hope this helps. Also wouldnt be sure as how to make wraps you have to flip it to start the timer I would know how to begin with that and you would only be able to use one side.

Mine worked beautifully. Probably depends somewhat on how much batter is in the cup. I am very satisfied with the baking results I have had

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.

Thanks, Joseph! You review and follow-up were really helpful and I'm glad to hear you're still liking the FlipSide after almost a year. While I generally agree that a temperature control doesn't matter much as long as it's hot enough, I find that when it's too hot, the waffle cooks too fast it's not as moist on the inside as I'd like it to be. Can you comment on that?Thanks again!

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.

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.

The manual does not answer this question, only saying it takes approximately 4 minutes to preheat. So, I timed the different phases this morning:Preheat: took 3 minutes 25 seconds (so, not far from what the book said)1st Waffle: 1 minute 25 seconds (the batter was put in and the lid closed before timer was started; lid closed and unit rotated was in the timing)2nd Waffle: 1 minutes 20 seconds (no additional preheating because the 2nd waffle followed the first)Hope this is what you wanted. I love the Waring Pro waffle maker. Works great, no sticking (as long as you follow the instructions). Any mix will work, but I did discover that to avoid sticking, you should have a little oil in the batter.

I went to a hotel and they had a flipping waffle maker and it worked well! I then went out and bought a flipping waffle maker, but it would cook unevenly and come out burnt! I returned that waffle maker, and bought this one! This one you have PERFECT WAFFLES every time!! I even bought this for a friend it works so well! They are thick!

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
