It is the shallower traditional one, with better neat control and non-stick features that the old ones I grew up with.

It is shallow. In fact it a little too shallow. Eggos are thicker. I this was helpful.

The Cuisinart waffle maker sounds perfect for your needs. It is a shallower grill than your typical Belgian waffle maker. The colour option dial would be very useful also.

The traditional shallow waffle maker. This does have the grooves for the "waffle". No sure how it would work for grilled cheese or burgers.

no it did not.....it truly isn't a Belgian waffle maker...all it does is make very thin waffles. I returned mine and bought the Oster 1-1/2 inch flip belgian waffle maker. very happy with the Oster the controls all work perfectly and the waffles are beautiful

It was a deeper depth than a toaster waffle, but the unit never stopped off-gassing fumes. The waffles tasted of fumes, even by people that were not in the house at the time they were made. Bummer.

My first two attempts with my BBCCX20 were awful. I started reading comments on the internet assuming so many people couldn't be getting a good result. It had to be me. So here are some things I changed. (I am not an experienced bread maker) I now spoon my flour into the measuring cup after fluffying it up with a spoon in the sack. I use much less flour this way I've found. Second, I have noticed I always have a messed up loaf when I use the plain active dried yeast. I have started using the rapid rise Fleishchmann's in the jar that is made especially for bread machines. Then I either use the quick, quick wheat, or cake cycle if it has eggs in it. I also now test my liquid with a thermometer to make sure it is about 100 degrees and I warm my nuts slightly since I keep them in the freezer. Eggs I leave on the counter until they don't feel cold anymore. It takes some advanced thought to make a loaf of bread I find. But I am now very happy with my machine. I was a little bit panicy to begin with though.

duh....really don't know, but you might look into the description by Amazon...all I know, there are 2 nice size waffles which come out fine every time.

It is a regular waffle maker. The channels are not deep enough to be considered Belgian.

Define plain waffles. It's a Belgian waffle maker and it makes Belgian style waffles, with deep pockets.

my thoughts on the waffle makerthe difference between a regular and belgian waffle is in the RECIPEa Belgian Waffle is leavened with yeast;an American Waffle is leavened with baking powder.hope this helps

I finally bought the new BBCCX20 and could not be happier. Have you tried the basic white out of the recipe book? I started with that one just to be sure it worked and then started making whole wheat with cereal, nuts, fruit, everything and I can't believe it always works. Some loaves are short and sq

Hmmm.. yeah, I'd say these are belgium waffles.It doesn't work very well, it does not get hot enough. I"ve pretty much given up on using it

I believe this is a regular waffle maker. The waffles are thicker than what I am used to. I initially had a problem in that I under-filled the waffle maker and the waffles didn't get cooked on the top. When I filled the grids full of batter, the waffles came out OK although they were on the "heavy" side. I am fully satisfied with the waffle maker and believe it is the best you can purchase for the price. Conversely, if you desire light waffles, this may not be the unit for you.

Read this little tidbit: http://verygoodfood.ca/2009/05/19/whats-the-difference-between-belgian-and-regular-waffle/After reading that, I'd say this is definitely an "American" waffle maker, but by making the proper recipe it should make great "Belgian" waffles. I found that when I was in Belgium I couldn't tell much difference in the size and shape but the texture was a bit different.

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

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.

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

Michelle, Perhaps, You placed too much batter in the waffle maker! Pry it open and clean it out good. Then, use the correct amount required in the instructions for each waffle to be made. Don't forget to use some sort of shortening, butter, oleo, olive oil or Pam! Good Luck, ours works great, so will yours!!!Charlie

I picked this one for basically the same reason you have stated, all positive reviews. It makes waffles pretty quick, so I don't think having the double decker is that important unless you are feeding 8 or 10 people.
