Does this Belgian waffle maker, with removable plates, take much longer to cook than those Belgian waffle makers with fixed plates?

The plates click in and out easily. I find a medium waffle takes about 8 minutes for the first one and 6 after that.

Not at all as far as I can tell. It just makes terrific waffles in good time.

Do not waste your money on this Belgian waffle maker. It does not work well at all. It now resides in our garage with all the other junk.

The dial controls the timer, but I think it would cook the waffles well for your needs to use the lower numbers. We make some waffles with almond flour and they like to cook longer. In fact I just left them in and reset the timer and they were fine. When we made waffles with Pamela's Pancake mix. They don't need long at all so they get less time. So far we have enjoyed this waffle iron a lot as it is very easy and forgiving. Our last one scorched waffles at the lowest setting as well as welded them to the irons. We brushed a bit of coconut oil on this when first used it and have had no problem at all with sticking. I hope this helps and you enjoy your waffle iron as much as we have ours. I wish we had bought this years ago.

The plates are not removable, no. Technically, you don't need to 'clean' a waffle maker, especially if it's teflon-coated. Just take a paper towel and wipe away any residue. I use a 2" natural bristle paint brush, slightly moistened with vegetable oil. Does the trick very nicely.

It has a very unique design that heats both sides at the same time, and when you open it you add batter to the empty side, then remove the cakes you just cooked, then flip the empty side, from which you removed the cakes, on top of the side with batter. It's faster than using a frying pan. Since it only makes two at a time. Though it is faster, most people use a stovetop griddle big enough for four pancakes. For that reason, it should take about the same time it would for you to use a griddle on the stove. A family of two would take less time than a family of six. So, how big your "set" of pancakes will determine how long it will take. As a rough off the top of my head clue, with a preheated babycakes maker, I'd say about three minutes for two. To speed things, I'd recruit a help by opening the maker, and removing the two cakes while you ladle in more batter. It comes with a batter cup that dispenses the perfect amount of batter. I bought it so that I could make "Paleo" style pancakes with all healthy ingredients starting with organic almond or coconut flour/meal, eggs, spices, and leavening agent, macadamia nut oil or coconut oil, and coconut milk. My first "set" or yield was eight small cakes. Since wheat contains gluten, the batter stays together, whereas the paleo tends to be more runny. That's why I chose babycakes. The batter goes in a depression, and with the cup provided, the batter won't run out like it often does with a waffle iron if you pour too much in.

Yes they are removable. The plates are reversible so on one side it is waffle textured and smooth on the other. The waffle plates are for traditional waffles (think eggos) and not the thick Belgium waffle

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 Belgian Waffle Maker 26030 Has removable plates but no audible beep. I like it a lot. It is easy to clean. I just put the plates in the dishwasher.

Just received mine, and initial heat-up might take a few minutes, waffles take maybe 4-5 minutes set on the #4 setting. Seam to brown nicely with my from scratch recipe, and the no-stick appears to work quite well, having had no sticking issues after 4 or so uses, and MANY waffles. I like to make excess and refrigerate them. Very pleased with the waffle maker so far. A tad 'tinny', but otherwise seems to be a decent product.

I'm not sure. You aren't suppose to use metal utensils to remove the waffles, so I assume that it does have Teflon or something similar. Whatever it is, the waffles have come out very easy so far, and we've made lots of waffles!

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.

There is a basic Min-1-2-3 temp control. The flip is strange. I don't know if it locks until it achieves some certain temp after being filled with the dough, but it acts that way. Once you can flip it, it flips easily. We love it, but it takes at least 10 min per waffle no matter the batter on the max temp. Very easy to clean too.

That would depend on the setting you choose. I have used the medium setting so the waffle is golden and firm throughout. I assume a higher setting wld yield crispier results.

No. Never known a pizzelle maker where plates came off. Just use damp paper towel. Throw out first two cookies of next batch if you are worried. Yea, for non-stick!

No, the plates are not removable but that is not a problem! Before the first use, season the plates as instructed in the use and care manual. I followed the directions and have NEVER had to "clean" the plates nor have I had to apply oil to them since. The waffles come away from the plates cleanly and in one piece. Nothing is left behind. After the unit has cooled completely, I simply brush or blow away any little crumbs that may be on the plates and wipe the exterior of the waffle maker with a damp sponge. I LOVE my Waring Pro Double Belgian Waffle maker. Every waffle comes out PERFECT every time and clean up is a breeze! (This is a totally different experience from my old waffle iron that was a pain to clean & the waffles stuck no matter what I did; I dreaded hearing my family's request for waffles.)

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.
