This review is for ALL the Dash waffle makers as I’ve bought them all. My first Dash purchase was for the heart waffle makers. I believe there are three different styles. I had a little surprise Valentine’s breakfast for my husband and son and the waffle makers were very easy to use. They all came out delicious and perfectly shaped. Then I used the shamrock waffle maker along with a couple of the regular Dash waffle makers, added some green food coloring for a more festive look, and those too came out perfectly. Haven’t used the others, but not expecting different results as these little waffle makers are easy to use, clean, and store. The trick to keep the batter from dripping is to use a small amount, don’t try to pour out enough to fill every crevice, instead, pour into the center and let it spread out on its own with just a quick follow up by you to spread it more evenly -I used a small, flexible, rubber frosting spatula. But after a couple, you’ll get the hang of pouring out the right amount and you won’t have to spread it out as the contact from the top portion of waffle maker forces the spread of the batter on its own, that’s why using the right amount is paramount to not having the batter overflow down the sides of makers. Do not be tempted to press down on the top to quicken the process, let the waffle maker do its job. When the waffle is ready just use that same rubber frosting spatula to help lift it out if you can’t lift it right out with just your hands. It is NOT stuck to the waffle maker, trust me, it’s just not always perfectly puffed for you to have something to grab to lift it out. They will still look and taste as they should. I’m looking forward to using the bunny and honeycomb waffle makers for Easter. Then the Star waffle makers for Memorial Day and Fourth of July. Then the skull, spiderweb, and the pumpkin for Halloween and the pumpkin for Thanksgiving breakfast. They should probably make a turkey, too, I’d buy it. Then the snowflake and whatever the other winter holiday one I have is for Xmas morning breakfast. If you like to do themed breakfasts to make things more festive, these little waffle makers are the perfect addition, my son and husband thought they were awesome. Remember: do not over-pour batter or press down on the top/lid of waffle maker, just close it til it clicks or you feel it make contact and LET THE WAFFLE MAKER DO ITS JOB, it knows what it’s supposed to do.
Hey, Dash team, how about about making more themed waffle makers like a turkey, Christmas tree, baby chick, etc.
Thanks!
