I received a Chef’s Choice Waffle Maker to facilitate this review. All thoughts are my own.
My family loves waffles. We eat them all of the time. But I am ashamed to admit that we have mostly been eating the frozen ones after my last waffle maker broke. I could not find one that I loved as much as the one I use to have, and because we make waffles so often I was being very fussy.
I recently received the Chef’s Choice Waffle Maker and I was so excited. It has some really great features to make waffles in a snap. The Classic WafflePro® 854 has features of commercial waffle makers in the size and ease of a home model. It quickly bakes four delicious four-inch waffles in under three minutes and provides twice the heating elements of conventional waffle makers. I love the separate Taste/Texture Select® button that let’s me simply press the Taste/Texture Select® button and I can choose either “Fast Bake” waffles that are crisp on the outside with a moist, oven fresh interior; or “Slow Bake” for crunchy waffles with uniform texture. The temperature control ensures consistent even baking and the floating hinge and latching handle guarantees uniform waffle thickness for perfect waffles, time after time.
There is a “Waffle Ready” beep and “Baking” and “Ready” to bake lights to let you know when the waffles are ready. The inside is a non-stick waffle plate coating that lets the waffle pop right out and is one of the easiest waffle makers I have ever had to clean up. There is an included booklet that has a few recipes in it. I am looking forward to trying brownie waffle recipe included in the book. (That will be tonight for Serenity’s birthday. I’ll be sharing it with you soon.)
We made my favorite pumpkin pie waffles with the Classic WafflePro® Model 854. It is a great test of how it functions. These waffles are usually gone as fast as they are coming off of the waffle maker. I love the quick cook time, and the non stick. The fact that I did not have to worry about spraying it down between each set was great.
Want the pumpkin pie waffle recipe. Find it here.
The Classic WafflePro® Model 854 is available for $99.99 US and $119.99 Canada through leading department stores, mail-order catalogs, and specialty stores. For further information, call (800) 342-3255 or visit www.chefschoice.com.

Wow, those look delicious. I have been wanting a waffle maker for a while now but my kitchen is small and I have completely run out of space…

I like mine a bit crispy and that Taste/Texture Select button will come in handy. I like the beep sound to let you know that it is done, I have had a waffle maker many years ago, and I was always peeking to see if they were done. Let us know how the Brownie Waffles turned out for Serenity’s birthday.! Happy Birthday!

What a great kitchen appliance 🙂 We have one of the ones that turn like in the hotel, the only thing I don’t like about it is that it only makes one at a time 🙁
brett

I’ve been wanting a waffle maker & this one is much more affordable than I would have expected! I’d love to be able to make my own waffles at home.
Danielle @ We Have It All
I’ve ALWAYS wanted a waffle maker!!
Amanda
My son LOVES waffles and they go through a box of them in a few days. It would be so much cheaper to just make them!
Ashley - Embracing Grace
Oooh, those look yummy! We absolutely adore our waffle maker. For the first three years of our marriage we had waffles every Saturday. 🙂
Tasha
Mmmm those waffles looks so tasty! I’ve never owned a waffle maker. Might be time to invest in one! It’s been a while since I’ve had them 😉
Jayda
I always joke that my family can make two things: pumpkin pie and waffles. I love that you combine both!
Sarah - ITKM
Yum! I love playing around with waffles and they are definitely my daughter’s favorite!
Shannon Gosney
I love waffles and square waffles are awesome! You could even make them ahead of them and freeze them. Thanks for sharing.
Stefani
I love making waffles but I just have a small waffle maker. I would love to have one of these. I like to pre-make the waffles and freeze for the kids.
Terri
It looks delicious, I love a good breakfast waffle loaded with fruit and whipped cream

I had to toss my old waffle maker a while back and never got a new one. I totally need to check into getting one of these. I miss making homemade waffles.
