How much time does it take for a waffle to be ready? Also, If by mistake the batter flows outside the grids, does it go inside the appliance?

it takes about three to four minutes for a waffle to get done. if you make a mistake it will overflow out of the appliance.

I am not exactly sure how long it takes for the waffle to be ready because I have not timed it, however it does take quite a bit of time...at least 5 minutes...there is an indicator light to tell you when it is ready. The batter does not get into the appliance if it over flows .

Once you plug it in it usually takes about 2-4 minutes for the light to change from red to green, indicating that it's ready. Once you pour the batter on the light turns back to red and id say it takes about a minute to a minute and a half for one waffle to cook. It depends on how much batter you put on and which heat setting you're using. I usually keep it around 3-3.5 to get lightly golden waffles.

I never timed it. But I would estimate 2 minutes. It isn't very long. It is very easy to make great waffles with this. And I can't cook! But I can make great waffles.

There should be two beeps - one for when the iron is pre-heated and ready for the batter, and another after the waffles are ready. If you are using a light setting, it might beep very soon (within seconds) after you pour the batter in. This is when you should remove the waffles. I mistakenly thought it was the indicator that the iron was back to temperature after I opened it quickly to pour the batter in, but in fact, they were done that quickly. Are you failing to get a beep even using different settings (light/medium/dark)? If you aren't getting the pre-heat beep followed by a second beep, I would return the iron and/or call the manufacturer. Good luck!

I do not know the exact amount of time, but it seems like the heating period is about the same as any other waffle maker. Waffle cooking time is also similar to other waffle makers. It has a heat setting dial. The waffle iron plates were a lot thinner than my Uno waffle maker that had [thick] removable plates. My kids think these waffles are soggy! Hope this answers your questions.

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.

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

It makes perfect waffles...not too thin or too thick. Use 1/3 cup batter. Thicker batter works best. Leftover waffles fit perfectly in toaster. Definitely is non-stick as it says. The standup for storage is great.

I find that it needs to be sprayed with cooking oil spray to release the waffles perfectly. The amount of oil in the spray is insignificant to the amount of oil in the waffle batter. But it's worth it!!

Usually 3 to 8 minutes. Average being 5-6 minutes. Make some practice waffles, noting the time to cook them just right, then use a timer. Don't open the waffle maker during cooking.... Good Luck....

It does not. However, I've had no trouble making good waffles without it. Cook it for one minute on the first side and two minutes after you flip it over.

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!

Hi, first I adjusted my heating knob until it was maybe two clicks from the center of the toward the off position, When I pour I use my 2 cup measuring cup( be generous go over the line) so I know I have approximately two waffles to get out of the batter, Make sure you do over fill the pan just fill it until you have the bottom of the pan covered. flip as soon as you put the top down, wait 6 minutes flip and wait another maybe 7, it take 2 green lights for each side.

Just a few minutes. There is a light on the exterior that lights up when the waffle is finished cooking. So far, perfect every time.

The only timing function it has tells you when the waffle maker is hot enough to pour in the batter. There is no light or beep that tells you when the waffle is done. You basically just have to watch when steam stops coming out of the waffle maker to know when the waffle is done.

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!

JD, that would depend on your recipe. I use whipped egg whites and corn oil in the batter so my waffles are crispier on the outside and safer inside. Work with your ingredients and find the mixture that works best for you. All I can tell you is we use it several times per week and the waffles are restaurant quality. We have 3 different waffle makers and this one is the best we have ever used. Gary
