It does not save a lot of time over using a full sized waffle iron, however this gadget takes up almost no space in the kitchen, so everyone will be able to find room for it. The 4-inch waffles were a great size for stacking, sandwiching or snacking. It produced evenly cooked waffles with a nice crispy surface and a moist interior. Since there is no audible alert, I used a kitchen timer while I cooked.Īll in all, the waffle iron performed extremely well and really exceeded my expectations. I felt it was worth a little extra patience to get that perfectly crisp outside, however if you are planning to pop your waffles in the toaster to crisp them up before serving (a handy trick for small waffles), letting them be a little less cooked might be better. The waffles were completely cooked at about 3 minutes, but the exterior remained soft unless they got a little extra time on the iron. It took about 4 minutes to cook my waffles until they were crisp on the outside and completely cooked inside. It heated evenly and produced waffles that were uniformly brown, though the batter didn’t quite always make it to the outer edges (I chronically underfill my waffle makers, apparently) and the coloration was a touch lighter there. I found my waffles released easily from the iron both when I greased the iron and when I did not. The Dash heats up quickly and the nonstick surface works very well. It does, however, mean that you need to plug it in to preheat about 2 minutes before you’re ready to use it and that you must remember to unplug the machine when you’re done. It does not have a on-off switch or any audible indicator, but that is true of some larger machines and not something I mind much. It has an indicator light on the top that lights up when you plug in the machine, then clicks off when the iron is hot. The waffle iron is so small and lightweight that it almost looks like a toy at first glance, but the waffle iron has a surprisingly heavy duty nonstick iron inside once you open it up. As a waffle fan with a Belgian-style waffle iron that I really like, I wondered how the Dash stacked up to its full size competitors and ordered one so I could give it a try. It comes in a variety of colors and has a price tag right around $10 – making it a perfect impulse purchase, whether you’re shopping online or see it in the store. The pint-size waffle maker is just a bit bigger than the palm of your hand and produce 4-inch waffles that are almost too cute to eat. The Instant Pot might have been one of the popular holiday kitchen gifts last season, but the Dash Mini Waffle Maker has consistently been a best seller this year.
