does this model/brand of waffle iron cook waffles fast? I need to cook several at a time & don't want to have to wait for iron to reheat .

The first set of waffles takes approximately 5 minutes to cook but after that the time drops to about 4 1/2. It stays hot, no problems with cooling down. Remember to coat the griddle before cooking your waffles or they will stick, we use olive oil applied with a kitchen brush. I would rather eat olive oil though than teflon. We love the unit, it works fine for our needs. Dennis M.

It takes about 5 minutes for the waffle maker to come to temperature for the first waffle but after that it reheats quickly

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

I bought it as a gift, but I have the same one but an older model. It does take a minute or two to warm up, but we're usually eating our first one when the second batch is done. I really like this one. That's why I bought for my son for Christmas.

You do have to wait for heating, but it is very fast compared to previous one we had.

The first waffle takes about 5 minutes but as you keep cooking the time drops to about 4 1/2 minutes per waffle there is no problem with cool down. Make sure to coat the griddle before cooking the waffles, we use olive oil which we apply with a brush. Hope this helps. Dennis Mitchell

The original start up heating takes about 5 minutes but after the first waffle is prepared it reheats quickly and cooks fairly quick

yes, it heats quickly. The speed will depend on the 'thickness" of your batter. I use an egg based, grain free recipe that bakes up in less than 3 minutes. I also have a vegan-oat recipe that requires 9-12 minutes. just depends.

It cooks fast! As soon as you pull out the first batch of 4, respray with nonstick spray, pour in more batter, close. I don't wait for it to reheat as I am usually using this for a group of hungry 7-16 year olds and they always come out great. The first batch takes about 5 minutes, each batch after about 3 minutes. I don't know how someone said it takes 10 minutes - maybe they are using an extra thick batter or like them super crispy?

Of course but you may want to watch out temp so it doesn't burn waffles. Also get a hard plastic bristle brush to clean after. Makes it so much easier.

Use less oil! Unlike the many other waffle makers I've used (at least five different brands), I have had to oil the griddles only twice in the 1.5 years that I've been using it - and I've used it every single night in that time. Maybe it helps that I use a teaspoon of oil in my batter, and no sugar, but the non-stick surfaces work for me.

This makes great waffles and is quick. The waffles are not unusually thin. However, this is NOT a BELGIAN Waffle iron, which in fact, which makes thicker waffles.

Interesting that this one does not have one. I have a 15-year old waffle pro with a chime that worked for about the first 12 years. Still the best waffle iron I have ever had. The non-stick has started to wear off and I have had to use oil on it for about the last year. Probably baked nearly 5,000 waffles in its life...

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!

If you leave them in until it finishes steaming (per the directions), they come out great. Light, fluffy, not crispy, but almost pancake consistency. My son likes them like that. For my waffle, I leave it in a little longer and make it a little crispier. This is a great waffle iron that my whole family loves. We bought a new one to replace our old one that broke after 10 years.

Yes- it makes the regular waffles and not the thicker Belgian style. If you like the regular ones you cannot go wrong with this. You get tasty waffles in around 2 minutes and we have not had any problems with them sticking.

After not using the waffle iron for a couple of weeks, it took 6.5 minutes to warm up and 4 minutes to cook. I know a month ago the waffle iron took at most 4.5 minutes to warm up. Maybe it is because my house is not as warm as it was in early December. The waffles are still great.

I do not know the exact temperature but it takes less than 3 minutes to make a waffle. After a few times you will know how you like your waffles and you can set a timer. I usually plug the waffle maker in and let it heat up while I make the waffle batter. It is ready to go when I am finished mixing the batter. It heats up quickly and it works great!

It will depend on how much it is used. My prior, different brands, waffle irons have averaged 8-10 years. This one I've had going on 2 years, using it weekly. This is a great product, flexible, and best of all it beeps when the waffle is ready. It also cooks faster than previous appliances I've owned.

I cannot be sure what the machine does - it does have the indicator light which functions but I have never relied on those on any waffle iron I have had. I always watch the steam and when it stops I know the waffle is done. I have not been sorry I bought this style and it makes delicious waffles everytime.

Each waffle takes five or six minutes. I loved the waffles. The recipe I used called for one cup of flour. I actually used 1/2 cup fresh ground whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup white flour. I think that I could actually use 1 cup whole wheat flour and it would still be good.

The actual brand of non-stick I do not know for certain. If you spray with oil and treat the waffle iron properly whatever the nonstick is should not be an issue of coming off on your food as you will not be using utensils for cooking or cleaning.

Sure you can. Heat is heat whether on a stove or grill or candle for that matter. To cook good waffles on this thing your temp needs to be medium high as they say on the fancy cooking shows. Just play with it a few times. You'll get it. This waffle iron is a good one. Might get that bbq flavour in the waffles though. Don't know if I'd like that.

No, it does not. This is a simple cast iron design, just follow the instructions for pre-heating/cooking and you shouldn't have any problems turning out some great waffles.

No, but if you use spray the plates with a product like Pam before you use the waffle iron (after heating as directed) then the waffle iron is very easy to keep clean. I use it very often and have never had any problems cleaning it, even if the batter runs out the sides it wipes right off.
