The instructions recommend a four-minute cook time, but we suggest cooking the waffles for five minutes.Įpi staffers who tasted the Presto’s waffles described them as “fluffy, but still nice and crisp along the edges,” and appreciated their deep wells, which could “hold maximum syrup and butter.” Every waffle we made with the Presto came out evenly cooked on both sides, a rarity for cheaper waffle makers. We found this design pleasantly straightforward and loved that it allowed you to more easily control the doneness of your waffle without the need of rigid brownness settings.
There’s a timer on the base, which you set yourself depending on your waffle crispness preferences.
While the All-Clad senses the doneness of your waffles automatically and alerts you with a beep, the Presto asks you to take a little more ownership over your waffle’s cook time. However, we realize that its price tag and heft may make it a prohibitive choice for many, which is why we are also fond of the Presto. When it came to waffles themselves, the All-Clad’s waffles still won over pretty much everyone in the blind taste test thanks to their superior craggy, crispy texture on the outside and pillowy interior, and thus we stand by our initial recommendation. While we did not venture into the world of “ will it waffle,” we came across anecdotal reviews that reported using it to make “amazing” brownies and panini. We did, however, notice that making only one or two waffles at a time, instead of filling all four waffle segments in the plate, throws off the machine’s ability to sense overall doneness our half batches came out a little underdone and unevenly cooked. And judging by the reactions of customers on Amazon who call this the “best waffle maker on the planet” and report that “the results are perfect every time,” our outcomes were not a fluke. Every batch of waffles comes out tall and airy, uniformly cooked on both sides: crisp and golden on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. The 4-square model allows you to feed a family in one fell swoop. Without removable plates the waffle maker is slightly cheaper, but it can be a hassle to clean-Epi digital director editor Maggie Hoffman, who has the same All-Clad waffle maker at home, says that her biggest frustration with it has actually been trying to clean it. The nonstick surface requires no greasing and releases the waffles with ease, and it is available with removable plates. The interior heats up evenly and is generously proportioned to produce one-inch-thick waffles with deep, crisp wells. The locking lid is solid and the handle feels comfortable in your hand. Indicator lights and a chime let you know when your waffles are done cooking. As for extra features, there’s a small clip-on drip tray attached to the rear of the waffle maker to catch any errant drips (it really works), and a sturdy dial that allows you to adjust your browning preferences on a scale of one to seven, one being the lightest and seven being the darkest.
