I think part of the reason you're having inconsistent fillings is because you're not using a spatula to get out all of the batter, so there's going to be an inconsistent amount left clinging to the walls of whatever you're using to pour.

As someone that has worked making waffles and has an offbrand version of the Oster waffle iron at home, a good rule of thumb is to put enough batter to cover every single square, it works for most waffle makers. It spreads to make a whole circle without overfilling. I can tell you measuring batter is not of big use because the batter, the consistency and how you make it varies a lot, from it having baking powder to the room temperature affects how the batter behaves.

Most waffle makers say in the instructions not to use cooking spray. I think nowadays all of them have a nonstick coating, and using cooking spray will cause it to build up over time and the waffle maker will start to work worse. This doesn't apply to ones that aren't nonstick, but unless you have something from many decades ago, everything they sell is nonstick. Even my $279 Breville waffle maker pro is nonstick. So do not use cooking spray unless you plan to clean it super well, and most waffle irons you can't remove the plates for cleaning so it will be nearly impossible to get all the oil off. You should be adding oil or shorting to your waffle batter, that'll help it not stick and make the waffles crispier.

FYI, as a Belgian, we make our waffles in a rectangular shape. I have never seen waffles served round. Secondly, you can get the Brussels waffles, which are very light and fluffy and are usually eaten with some sugar/whipped cream on top. The liege waffles are denser and usually filled with small lumps of sugar. We usually eat those without toppings. Although tourists like to top it with chocolate, fruit or ice cream

As an American, we are referring to the yeasted fluffy batter and deep pockets; some companies make square appliances. American waffles typically use baking powder/soda to make them rise, so they're thin and have shallow pockets. In my parts of the U.S., Belgian waffles are almost always topped with butter, fruit (usually a fruit syrup/coulis) and whipped cream.

With the Dash, instead of timing the cook time, the light comes on when you plug it in & the light goes off when it's hot. Add the batter at this point, close the lid, & let it cook until the light comes back on again. The Dash is good for some of the Keto recipes also.

I being an expert from eating thousands of waffles and watching them being made by professionals, I notice 2 things most restaurants have in common. 1 they all use a commercial grade milkshake mixer to blend their batter. And B they tend to lean towards over filling them and remove the overflow before serving. I tend to prefer the Belgian style waffle style because they have more crispy surfaces and having owned many makers, I prefer going out and letting someone else making them for me. I think the key to making great waffles is something this comment doesn't have, consistency. Oh, and in the future try using one of those plastic condiment bottles for your batter,cut back the spout a bit to increase flow, great for pancake art also

I NEED a waffle maker to make round Belgium waffles to have as part of Amish style chicken and waffles which I discovered and fell in love with while in PA. It's a very different dish than Southern chicken and waffles. It's savory stewed chicken in gravy tinted with yellow food coloring served over a light fluffy Belguim Waffle. I had them in PA dinners and small family restaurants and they were so so good. The waffles are huge, take up the entire plate, I could never clean my plate. I understand the firehalls and churches in the Susquehanna Valley often serve the chicken and waffles at fundraising events and that the dish is standard fare at Amish gatherings like weddings. I want to get the recipe and make Amish aka Pennsylvania Dutch chicken and waffles at home.

Great video Mr. White! I highly recommend that after you make the waffle batter you transfer it to a big squeeze bottle. This gives you better control of pouring (or squeezing) batter onto the iron, no mess and allows you to spread the squeeze of batter across the iron plate to give you a better idea if its under or over filled. Instead of just pouring the batter as one blob in the center and hoping that it spreads to fill the entire plate and not over fill. Needless to say, it'll make adding batter to the waffle wow even easier and faster. Therefore solving all the problems you had; Difficult to fill the bus shape and that by the time you fill the last one, the first one is already cooking

I have the Oster version of the Bella - I use “Carbon”-brand waffle and pancake mix, with their “grid conditioner”. Turns out amazing waffles every time!

I have the Oster one. Have had it for 6+ years and still don't get the amount of batter right. :P But I will say that it has been used once a month every month for those 6+ years and still works just as well as the first time.

I have an Oster waffle maker. I still use it. Seems to be the same as the one that you tested only older. Like about 1985.🤣🤣 I had the same problem that you had by using the recommended portion of batter. Other than that, I tried many of the recipes in the accompanying manual successfully.

I have the Oster & I always cook it on high & let it cook till golden brown. I eye ball the amount and it always comes out great for me. I never oil or spray mine. I like it. I usually cook it for about 5 or so minutes. Mine looks like your attempt # 3 in size and attempt #5 in color. When u say crispy that's bcuz of the oil. I don't add oil. With the Oster you just have to leave it in longer for a darker color your looking for color like the other maker the one you have to flip over.

I always make my batter on the thinner side. Just add a bit more water. It’s much easier to quickly add batter evenly and makes inside fluffier but still crispy on the outside.

We have 2 waffle makers at home, one of them being the very same Oster you reviewed. I really really do not care for the Oster, and am glad I wasn't alone in feeling like it was cheaply made. Our other one is the Chefman Perfect Pour Volcano belgian waffle maker, and I love it a lot. I've gotten used to it, and can make perfect waffles with it every time. Since getting that waffle maker, my son has requested breakfast for dinner every week for a few weeks now. However, if our Chefman waffle maker ever goes out I will happily look into the Bella.

You need to use a spatula to clean out the measuring cup for an accurate amount. The Dash is really popular with people who eat low carb and make "chuffles" (cheese based waffles).

I have liked a lot of the Dash products. Last year i bought 2 sets of the waffle maker and mini maker on sale for $19.99 each. I will have 2 waffles being made while 1 mini maker is cooking an egg and the other cooking a breakfast patty to make a nice breakfast sandwich. I want to get one of the new mini pie makers but they always sold out.

I am in UK and got a Giles and Posner mini waffle maker for under £14. I got a pale blue colour with a 2 year guarantee. I am very happy with it's performance and it is non stick. It is very similar to the dash. Some of the prices for the dash online were £30 and upwards. I had a rotating Belgian waffle iron many years ago which was excellent, but a friend borrowed it and I never got it back.

I got the bella and to get full waffle I take a spatula and spread the batter before I turn it over, and if I get spill over I put it with the next waffle batter and it cooks great

Thanks for the reviews. I just found a pretty little dash waffle maker at a local thrift store for under $4 and was looking to see how to use it since it didn't come with an instruction booklet. Other than that, it looks like brand new.

I have the Dash, one convenience with Dash products is that most are low wattage, for people in RVs using solar this is the way to go and let’s not forget that takes very little space. I have one for several years and is great for my 30’ trailer in Baja, I have other Dash products for the same reasons, they all perform well.

If I remember the Jiffy pancake/waffle mix, the only difference between the pancake batter recipe and waffle batter recipe is the waffle recipe == pancake recipe + 1 egg. This makes the waffle batter a little thinner to spread into all the cells easily than a slow pouring pancake batter. All of these waffle batter mixes appeared to have the viscosity of pancake batter to me. The other thing was the cooking time. When the waffle iron reaches temperature usually a light comes on. When you add the batter & close it, the light goes off because of the transfer of the heat from the cooking surface to a browning batter. When the light comes back on after a few minutes, the iron should have finished thoroughly cooking the batter -and- after emptying the unit will be ready for the next salvo of waffles (after oiling/seasoning).

for all waffle makers , using an offset spatula is helpful to smooth the batter and fill in gaps . one cup is plenty if the user takes an extra second to even the batter out and fill in gaps .

I have the Oster model...I remember Oster Appliances as a kid, so I bought it for Nostalgia. I like mine, it makes good Belgium waffles, I think it's always tricky when getting the batter just right. I like the Dash version, that is cool. If I had to buy another one, and be a favorite the Bella is Great one. Especially if you eat waffles alot, the cost is justified. I eat waffles a few times a month, or if I'm in the mood. The cars and trucks is cool, it is a bit of a novelty item...if you have kids that would be a fun one. The good thing about waffle makers is the clean up is pretty easy, besides getting batter everywhere, lol. Good Freakin' Review!!!

This inspired me to make waffles for lunch. I have a Dash which I like but I also have a Babycakes Mini which I prefer. The Babycakes waffles are a little larger, and they are square so you can break them into sticks. So good with crunchy peanut butter. Munch munch! By the way, with the Dash, use 1/3 cup of batter and cook 4 minutes.
