KitchenAid KPWB100NP Pro Line Waffle Baker, Nickel Pearl

 (20 customer reviews)

I've gone through a few waffle makers and wanted to upgrade to something that could make belgian waffles, and also something that could get a number of waffles out faster. I very nearly bought two waffle bakers from another brand until I discovered this KitchenAid ProLine baker that cooks two waffles at the same time in just one appliance.

This is a double-deck baker. Open the upper section and pour in some batter, then close it and rotate the iron. You can now open the iron *again* and pour a second waffle, close it and re-rotate the iron to spread the batter.

The controls on the front have an on/off button, timer start & reset buttons, a large timer control knob, and an LCD display which is illuminated either red or blue to indicate if the iron is ready or if a waffle is over-baking. The baker also has an analog thermometer on one of it's two lids.

This is, without question, the best consumer waffle maker money can buy. Waffles come out with a thin and very crisp crust on the outside with a moist cotton-like interior. This waffle maker can make two waffles at a time.

Not only does it make perfect waffles, but consistently making perfect waffles is made easy by its digital timer. The timer allows adjustments in 15 second increments to fine-tune your waffles. After the timer counts down in blue, the maker beeps and starts counting up in red. This helps you determine how much time to add if your waffles are not yet perfect and need a little more cooking. Once dialed in, the timer retains the set time between sessions, even if the maker is unplugged.

Yes, it's expensive, but this is a clear example of getting what you pay for.

I've never been one to order waffles for breakfast, but my husband had asked me several times over the years if "I" would like to have a waffle iron (which meant he wanted me to make waffles for him). A few years ago I bought a small, inexpensive waffle iron, and he was disappointed to see it was just a "regular" waffle maker, and not a belgian waffle maker. So, I returned it without even taking it out of the box. When he started asking me about a waffle maker again this past Christmas, I decided to do some research. I was more than a little hesitant to spend $200 on an appliance that makes one thing, but the reviews on Amazon convinced me I would not be sorry if I purchased the KitchenAid Pro Line Waffle Baker.

I am now a belgian waffle lover! This waffle baker is so simple that my children could easily make waffles for the family. Just press the power button, mix the batter while waiting for the baker to heat up, pour about 1 c. in the first side, flip, fill the second...Read more
