Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Krups FDD912 Expert Waffle Maker with Rotary SystemCustomer Review: Krups Waffle Maker - Recommended Summary: 5 Stars
This is the fourth waffle maker that I have owned over the years. One I gave away, one is part of a sandwich/waffle maker unit, and the other is a belgian waffle maker by Black & Decker that is on its last leg of the journey after many years of use and improper cleaning methods! After experiencing such positive results with the combo unit T-Fal SM601003 Avante Nonstick Sandwich/Waffle Maker which has removeable plates, I knew I wanted a waffle maker with this feature.
I usually make 10 - 12 waffles for my husband to take to work on the weekends which would be a long process with my other belgian waffle maker because after the fifth or sixth one, it seemed to steam more than bake so I would have to let it cool down and start over. Not so with this one. I cranked out 12 waffles with no trouble. Some of the waffles came out evenly browned on both sides while others were even on one side with a couple of lighter patches on the other. However, none of these were rejected by anyone! I ate the first one that came out. The waffle was crispy on the outside and pancake tender on the inside with deep pockets that held up to the syrup and butter. For that, it deserves and gets five stars!
The other advantage to this waffle maker is the adjustable temperature setting. I settled on 6, which produced the crispiest waffle, with a cook time of 4 minutes, 30 seconds. A timer would have been a nice addition to the waffle maker, but I just set the one on the microwave as I've always done so its no big deal.
Other nice features include the drip pan to accommodate over filling the plates, and the folding handle which is a plus when storing the unit. The removeable plates which were the selling point for me make clean up a breeze. Let the machine cool, pop out the plates and either hand wash or stick in the dishwasher.
The Krups waffle maker makes fairly large waffles and is not a small unit so if space is a concern, keep that in mind.
Description of Krups FDD912 Expert Waffle Maker with Rotary SystemBring restaurant style experiences into the home with this oversized restaurant style professional waffle maker by Krups This unusual rotating waffle maker is sure to elicit admiration from brunch guests. Made of brushed stainless steel with black accents, the unit not only looks elegant but cooks professionally. After ladling the batter into the deep nonstick bottom plate, the top is firmly closed. After ten seconds, by means of the insulated handle, the waffle maker is rotated upside down and allowed to cook for the remainder of the required time (recipes and times are included in the user guide). The result: two perfect 1-1/4-inch-thick Belgium waffles, crisp on the outside, moist on the inside. A dial features variable browning settings, and two lights indicate when the waffle maker is on and when to add batter. Two curved fixed legs keep the maker upright and a drip tray fits between them to collect any batter overflow. A release button on the handle allows it to collapse for storage. Measuring 7-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches, the cook plates can be wiped clean or conveniently removed and placed in the dishwasher. With the handle collapsed, the waffle maker measures 13 by 8-1/2 by 9-1/2 inches and is covered by a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
