Waffles are a breakfast favorite worldwide. Their crispy outsides and fluffy insides make them delightful to eat, and their little pockets hold syrup perfectly (pancakes can’t compete). With the right waffle maker, they’re a breeze to make. In our test of 22 models from various brands, All-Clad’s four-slice Belgian waffle iron stood out as the top choice for those willing to spend a bit more.
Why We Chose All-Clad
Although All-Clad’s waffle maker comes with a higher price tag, its performance justifies the cost. The plates heat up quickly, stay hot longer, and maintain a higher temperature compared to other options. This results in waffles with perfectly browned exteriors and fluffy insides. Plus, it creates waffles with deep pockets, perfect for holding syrup without spilling over.
With six browning levels, you can customize your waffles to your liking, and it cooks batches in just four minutes. During testing, it performed well with various batters, from yeasted to buttermilk, delivering delicious results every time. Its ability to make four large waffles at once makes it ideal for brunch gatherings or serving a hungry household.
