I'm here for the recipe/device testing! Ok, if you end up with too many waffles, you can always freeze them. Think of it as making your own Eggos's. Also, pancake/waffle batter is best with minimal mixing. You WANT lumps in it. Seriously. Just like with muffin mix. You can also pour the batter into an ice tray, freeze it, pop out the batter cubes, and store in the freezer in a ziplock. When you want a waffle, set out one or two cubes to thaw and cook it in the Dash. It's a very common part of the learning curve to over-fill a waffle maker (of ANY size) and have the waffle batter spill all over while cooking. I mean, even experienced cooks do this, especially when working with a new waffle maker.
I've done that before too. I wouldn't worry have throughly cooked it was (just enough) since I'd feeese them, then place it in the toaster in the morning and turns out well cooked and crispy. 🧇
I always slightly undercooked the extras and then freeze them. I cook them in the toaster oven when I’m ready to eat them. Sometimes I’ll make a lot of extra, because it’s so easy to reheat them later.
FYI even though it's slightly off subject, I used to do this with French toast. I don't remember when I learned it but I know I was using it by the time I had my second daughter in 1979. Make up French toast out of a bunch of eggs and a whole loaf of bread, Cook them and freeze them. I liked cooking them in butter because it gave them a better flavor. Then you freeze them and they don't stick together very much because of the oil or butter. Just pull them out a couple at a time and pop them in the toaster for an instant breakfast. I made a bunch of these before I had my second daughter which is why I remember the year and it helped feed me without outside help.
Thanks for doing your test over a period of time, it lends some validity to your review. The dash waffle maker is delightfully easy to clean when batter runs amuck, or you use cheese. For me that goes a long way to making it a worthy purchase. The product does fall down on the crispy factor unless you leave the waffles in longer than called for, or pop them in an oven or air fryer to keep warm while you make more. Lol, it is a handy (fun) little gadget that can earn it's keep. Your review was a pleasure to watch.
Oh you should of done an omlet in there or some Quesadas or a waffle shaped buritos?...what about a waffle pie or waffles made from bananas? Gosh the possibilities!
Really enjoyed watching your video, very natural and fun! I have two waffle makers and enjoy experimenting with all types of creations. Have you ever tried stuffed waffles? I have a Power XL Waffelizer that's a lot of fun. My first day I made a scrambled egg and cheese stuffed waffle for breakfast and a cheeseburger stuffed waffle for supper. Tomorrow, I making a stuffed waffle using chocolate cake batter filled with sliced strawberries and bit of a Milky Way bar, then topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream with a side of vanilla ice cream. The sky is the limit! Have fun!
Was super hesitant to buy this product. I love waffles, they are my favorite but I don’t have room nor really want to spend on a full sized waffle maker. Your video has helped me make my decision and I will be getting one of these for myself. It seems to work well enough to satisfy my waffle needs. Thank you!
Recieved my walffle maker yesturday and made the Classic recipe. I used a bit less than 1/4th cup of batter and the best test for crispyness was 4 minutes per waffle. Tiny bit of overflow working til I got it right produced 7 waffles. Extras can be frozen or put in fridge.
I just ordered mine and am looking forward to using it. I just rejoined WW and there are a bunch of ideas online. My kids gave me the same Dash air fryer thst you have!
Every year I seem to pick one gift that all my gift recipients for that year get. This year, it’s this waffle maker and the mini griddle as well - 2 for $20 on Amazon. Anyway, finding this video is what really sealed the deal for me. And others too, but mostly this one. It looks so darn FUN! I loved watching you make everything; even when you made mistakes, you learned, and taught us how to not make the same mistakes. I hope you’re still enjoying your mini waffle maker! Oh yes, I also got this for myself this year, and am very much looking forward to seeing what these gadgets can do. Maybe this time I’ll be able to make a grilled cheese sandwich without burning the cheese and the fire department being called (long story). Anyway yes, thank you for the video. PS: maybe you could put the extra batter in the fridge and use it the next time/day? Or is that not how batter works?
Instead of bread, I'd use mini wheats tortillas for the grilled cheese... But then it would basically be a quesadilla!! Not mini wheats but mini, wheat flavored tortillas. (dang spellcheck)
everything in this video was so helpful and nicely presented. Just got a lil waffle maker like that one. It was so easy to veganize your recipes too. Instead of milk i used plant milk, instead of egg I made flax egg. You can make them oil free too by replacing the oil/butter with unsweetened applesauce.
Fold them over the handle of a wooden spoon. Lie the spoon across a large bowl Drape the waffles over the spoon handle and let them hang until cool. Oil the Dash if you want crispy.
I bought one of these before seeing your review, but I still found it helpful. I do enjoy the waffles and will continue to experiment with them myself. Thanks for the video. P.S. Love the NASA shirt

If you want crisper ones, you need to flip the waffle over and let it go through heating process twice (light will turn off after few mins with lid down)

I would freeze the extra waffles and then put them in the toaster like Eggo waffles.
That’s what I do

I love this thing! If you spray both sides or the waffle with cooking spray after it’s done and put the lid back down it crisps them up
Haha, I love how comfortably grumpy you are.
You can save the batter for 3 days in the fridge and just use when you want a wagfle

Thanks for your review! The first demo was especially helpful w/ learning how much batter to put. I’m thinking of getting the Valentines dash. :)
obsessed with the film transitions between days 🎞️
I've read that you should leave them in after the light goes off to get crispier/browner waffles. Really enjoyed watching you cook.

Picked one up on clearance for $5 the other day. Can't wait to try some new recipes.
Well, THAT was fun! I appreciate you trying those 5 recipes, so I don’t have to! 😉I especially enjoyed your commentary. Thanks!
Who would have thought that would be fun to watch you make all kinds of things in the mini waffle maker but it was!
I just ordered mine and am looking forward to using it. I just rejoined WW and there are a bunch of ideas online. My kids gave me the same Dash air fryer thst you have!

Freeze your extra waffles,
Pop them in the toaster when needed.
Spray oil for crispy
Good advice on the pour! I would put the remaining batter in the fridge for another day! Thank you!

I love mine - I use a scant 1/3 cup. I cook it for 4 minutes. I only make 4 waffles with a whole egg, and they get kinda cakelike -- fine with me...
Fun video, and helpful. Thanks! Refreshing to see a non-perfect cooking video.
Love the NASA shirt; I have one too.
Thank you !!! I enjoyed your video and information very much.
I use a mix and for 2 waffles, I use 1/3 cup mix, 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter and water for pancake consistency (I don't measure the water).
Fold them over the handle of a wooden spoon. Lie the spoon across a large bowl Drape the waffles over the spoon handle and let them hang until cool. Oil the Dash if you want crispy.
I bought one of these before seeing your review, but I still found it helpful. I do enjoy the waffles and will continue to experiment with them myself. Thanks for the video.

You re very entertaining fun and helpful. Thank you. I like all your t- shirts, too. Thank you for the video demonstration.
Use a biscuit and split in half...yummy.
Cut the bread in the shape of the circle for the perfect grilled cheese!
I think if you let it heat up more , they are better . Like pancakes, a really hot pan is better . K
Cool waffle maker. I have the dash waffle bowl maker.
If you use 1/4 cup scrap the bottom of the cup on mixing bowl and don't scrap the cup down when you pour the batter into the waffle maker
ok I do kind of want one just for grilled cheese tho😭
This was your first video I watched. I was looking to see if those Dash products were worth it. I liked this video so I watched more. Then I found out you are from Cincinnati and now I'm making it my goal to watch all your videos.
I also bought a dash mini.
Can you freeze extra waffles for another day ?
Also, set a plate under it to catch messes. :)
Really enjoyed your vid. I'm in UK. Thought you might be interested. I just bought a Dash Mini Waffle maker..just before watching your vid. I think you said it cast you $9? Same thing in UK cost me £46!! Great fun movie though x
There on sale at Walmart for 3$
I just bought one today for $15 at Meijer and also bought the book for $10. Watching videos and tomorrow will be waffle time!!! Thanks for your video!
What book? It should come with the maker for free
To those who already have one and are happy with it, have you ever tried flipping it over even though it would be upside down at that point?
Waffle cut type of hair do could work, too
Commenting to voice support on your boycott of American cheese
American cheese is an abomination that really has no right to exist.
love the AL representation
Looks yummy
Thank-you for the review. K
How long did each waffle take to cook in this maker?
I have the same waffle maker and it takes about 3-4 mins, but I like it crispy and check it until I see golden brown.
Mine were perfect at 4 minutes with the Classic recipie....a few chocolate chips were thrown in.
Wow looks yummy ~lk 1
Yo quiero una dónde la puedo coconceqir
The waffles are very soft. If you like soft waffles then you’ll like this gadget. I’ve had this for almost a month and will be returning it
That’s true they always did turn out soft
If you want crisper ones, you need to flip the waffle over and let it go through heating process twice (light will turn off after few mins with lid down)
what if you throw them in the toaster
Leave it in a little longer...
too long get to the point
You said cheese and one of my kitties came to attention!
Aww 🤗
So versatile, yet tiny. The perfect tool!!!! 🧇🧇
thanks for the tips! I just bought one today and excited to make some small serving when I'm craving waffles!! ❤😋🧇🥛
