So this is a CLASSIC waffle maker, NOT a Belgian waffle maker; correct? I want old fashined waffles NOT cake like waffles Belgians remind me of.

Yes, this is a classic waffle maker that makes waffles the way our grandmothers used to make them. It produces round waffles approximately 7" in diameter and approximately 1/2 inch thick. For the money, it's a decent waffle maker. It will take you a few tries to determine how much batter to use, but once you master that, you should be able to produce consistent waffles. I found the key is not to have the batter too thin and to fill it only about 3/4 full of batter before closing the lid.

Correct. They are thinner waffles than Belgians. We don't like Belgian either, too cake like and this waffle maker makes great old fashioned waffles.

The waffles are thinner as apposed to thick, maybe 1/2 or less. Much more like a pancake with a grid pattern. (and yes different flavor) My son calls these skinny waffles. We were looking more for a thicker waffle maker, more like what you get in a hotel. If I read the question correctly you do not want cake like waffles, which I interpret as thick.
922339
Yes. This makes waffles like the ones I had growing up (before the Belgian ones became popular). Belgian are deeper and crispier. These aren't as deep and not as crispy.

Yes, this is classic. I am in agreement with the other reviews. You can adjust the crispness too.

Lot of the feed back has been spot on. Qualify of machine is low, cooking time is high, though not as high as the old square units using round burners.

Sorry I didn't respond. My family loves this waffle maker. They are regular size waffles & we enjoy them just about every weekend.

I know this is late...but I just made a waffle (with some mini-chocolate chips) and it was perfect in exactly 4 minutes. I set the oven timer and checked when it beeped. Brown all over and not beige. Came out great! Sometimes I do wish I had a Belgian waffle maker...but this works great for old fashioned waffles and if you make extra, cut them into 4 pieces, they'll fit into a normal toaster. Also...if you flip the plates over, it becomes a griddle. Perfect for toasted sandwiches. I've had mine for years so I can't complain.

I have yet to use pancake/waffle mix except as a substitute for flour in the following recipe, http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/true-belgian-waffles. Flavored pancake/waffle mix adds a little twist to these waffles and they are superb for such a simple recipe. Go ahead, try them.

There is a knob on top of the waffle maker that you adjust for light to darker waffles. I have found turning the knob half way makes a golden brown waffle that is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I use a heart healthy biscuit mix and they are delicious. We are very happy with our purchase.

Hello Vonda, it is funny Amazon wanted me to give you feedback on biscuits, Just the other day when I looked in my pantry I thought about making them. The only differences is I was going to use Pamela's all purpose pancake and waffle flour(the flour in the yellow bag) I love Pamela's all purpose flours. Only one time did I have a total flop. Please let me know how your biscuits turn out, if you can.

These will be a standard waffle maker as opposed to a thicker Belgian Waffle maker. The thickness of your waffle will also be determined by the amount of batter you use. Less batter will mean a thinner waffle and the opposite will be true as well.

No it is not. I would strongly advise getting some other one this model was a real disappointment. Besides the fact that it only makes a waffle slightly larger than a traditional store bought Eggo it is hard to work with. Waffles keep burning and sticking no matter what we tried and I've been using cast iron for twenty-five years and this thing has just been a let down.

No - not as deep of holes as a traditional Belgian waffle maker. I prefer these thinner waffles to Belgian style myself.

Yeast waffles are wonderful in this waffle maker. You do have to use a bit less batter. I can completely recommend Marion Cunningham's Raised Waffle recipe, which you can Google and find several places on the 'net, especially at Shauna Sever's ("Pure Vanilla" and "Marshmallow Madness" author) website. She has some nice tips for the waffles.

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.

This waffle maker makes waffles that look like Belgium waffles. I understand that Belgium waffles contain active dry yeast and I am not sure how that affects the taste. I only use the bisquick mix which calls for milk, vegetable oil and an egg and also add vanilla because I like the taste. They come out delicious, tasting a lot better than store bought frozen waffles.

I am reading the reviews from all over trying to decide between the Waring Pro 300A and the Villaware 2010 waffle makers. Professional/consumer groups/cooking associates all seem to rate the Villaware better but home cooks seem to prefer the Waring. Comments? Has anyone tried them both? Price is not the deciding factor as they are priced within about $10 of each other. I just want a gooooood waffle that does not come out like a hockey puck or gooey in the middle.

Yes they are. Waring WMR300 is a good Waffle and Pancake maker. It is fast and you can make your Waffles crisp or soft. I would recommend it.

This does make Belgian waffles - don't get it if this if you don't like them.
