I love Fruit Belgian Waffles, and I have been wanting a way to make them at home for quite some time.
Squee, I love new small appliances! {oops, my domestic self is showing}
Recently I got a Flip Belgian Waffle Baker with Removable Grids from Hamilton Beach.
Oh how I adore thee! I have been wanting a Belgian Waffle Maker for some time now, yet always wondered: Do I really need it? Will I use it enough?
I know the answer now: YES!
When I first got the appliance my husband’s eyes popped out, “You mean like the ones you see in restaurants and hotel breakfasts?” Again, YES! The Belgian Waffle Baker has the professional {and very cool to use} flip feature to ensure even baking of the waffles. Impressive, right?
Well hold on, here are some more features:
- Brushed stainless steel housing
- Removable, dishwasher safe, non-stick grids
- Power and Ready indicator lights
- Drip tray catches excess batter
- Browning control
- Cool touch handle
Not sure what I love more, the flip feature or the fact that I can pop thie grids into the dishwasher to clean. Wait, I know what I adore best – the waffles it makes!! Duh!
Make your own batter {or use the store-bought boxed kind, it doesn’t matter}, and spray the grids with cooking spray {you have to do this or they’ll stick}. Then pour your batter into the grids until covered. Then you close, flip and wait just a few minutes. They pop out just like that and there you have it – Belgian Waffles!
I serve ours with syrup, fresh or de-thawed {from frozen} fruit. I suggest strawberries and blueberries, our favorite combination. Then add a dollop of whipped topping to finish the dish.
Weekends especially, the girls request waffles more often than pancakes now. Which is fine with me because making these waffles is quicker {less than 10 minutes}. They come out of the grids fluffy and when served as Belgian Fruit Waffles – delish! Look at the photo above, I made our waffles before the topping fully unthawed. That’s fast!
So yes, I use this small appliance often. I now wonder what the heck I was waiting for! You can get yours at Sears in Canada, for an ARV of $59.99.

Oh these look delicious I have a waffle maker and would not do without it now! We have waffles quite often in our house!
Wow, love to get one of these!
Oh, those look delicious!
The removable, dishwasher-safe grills are a VERY smart idea. I’m honest enough with myself to admit that I won’t frequently use an appliance which is a pain to clean!
I’ve been jonesing for a waffle iron for ages; now you’ve convinced me to get one! I’m a big fan of simple recipes, and of knowing exactly what’s in my family’s food, which is why I steer clear of the boxed waffles from my childhood. 🙂 But now, everything changes…
