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.

Thank you for testing waffle makers! I enjoy watching your reviews. You don't edit out mistakes or try to keep everything perfect for the camera. Your efforts are appreciated, very much.

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.

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.

@dawng.8836

Me too

Watch how breakfast cooks do it, they always overfill then scrap away the extra. It's the price you pay for always having a perfectly full waffle.

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.

This is why weight is better than volume when precision is necessary. You will never get the same cup of volume especially when measuring something thick as waffle batter. But 250g is 250g no matter how many times you weigh it.

When portioning out something thick and a bit sticky like Batter, I use the next larger Cup size, so in this case, a 1/3 for the 1/4. That way you actually get around a 1/4 cup of batter on the Iron or Pan or whatever.

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 don’t want to be a critic here but I’ve made A LOT of waffles in my day. I’ve seen comments about scraping the batter out being the reason it’s inconsistent, but i think the reason was because there were 2 batters made with different textures and consistency. Even following the directions you can get different results. So i would try making one large batch of batter combined with scraping the vessel. Just my 2cents as somebody who has made lots of waffles. Loved this video tho. And this channel has become one of my faves over the time I’ve been subbed. Keep up the great work!

hey James, I don't know if I missed it but did you mention using a consistent recipe for the batter? In some clips of the Oster, the batter looked runnier than in others. I think that could make a difference in how the waffles turn out :)

Dash products are very popular for single adults, people living in vans (thanks to the low wattage), and parents who just want to make a waffle for their kid but don't want to give them a big waffle. I love the Dash mini products because I'm a single adult who does not eat a lot and is terrible about remembering leftovers, so making one or two small meals at a time is far better and easier for me.

I otherwise don't find it to be a practical waffle maker for our family. The one I've used for many years is the Cuisinart classic round (it's similar to the Oster, but just makes regular, not Belgian, waffles).

If it was me, I would use a spatula to spread the batter before closing the lid especially as the batter you are using looks really thick so unlikely to run into all the edges without a little push..

My favorite kind of waffle maker is the classic American style with shallow pockets like the kind I grew up with. My mom gifted me an antique waffle iron as a wedding gift and I'm quite fond of it. After all, who makes better waffles than Mom?

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 Bella and have used it quite a bit and had great results. I also have the Dash but haven't used it...yet.

"Just over 1 cup" is the secret. Took me a while . I used the "Presto flit side" Flips to left then right for even cooking. THEN stores vertical for minimum storage space.

I have had the Oster for 5 years or so. Sourdough waffles come out delicious. I pour slowly starting in the center and let the better run to the outer edge. Let it sit a few seconds to see it if fills in well and doesn’t look like it will overflow. I don’t measure. If it runs over it’s easy to clean. Thick batter helps too.

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.

I ordered the KRUPS FDD95D10. Big sized waffles with the official Brussel's waffle dimensions 160x100x28mm. 4x6 squared patterns. and rotative baking.

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.

Thanks for showing me how to use the first one. I just got one just like the one you're showing at Goodwill new in the box. I'm 65 living alone. Watching from West Virginia

Oh didn't say what I paid for the first one at Goodwill 4.99.

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.

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.

So glad to see people told him his BIG problem was not spreading the batter out in the waffle iron. ❤my dash mini.

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.

Try using the one cup of batter but also lightly spread it out so it's even all around. I have found this to be the best method. Also, I love the Dash. It is great portion control. You can make a batch which makes about 8-9 waffles. You can then freeze them. Just pop them in the toaster for a quickie. The Dash also shuts the light off when the waffle is done no timer needed.

I have the dash mini. Got it mainly for cooking eggs for sandwiches. Works well, can’t complain for the price.
