Garbage- read before you buy

This waffle iron isn't worth the cost. It is pretty and that is it. It must have a central heat element and it over cooks the middle and under cooks the edges. It also is built with a metal handle that is not heat resistant. Every time you open the handle if you miss the plastic 2 inches you burn yourself.
Added to the burns from the metal that you attain it is engineered so that the steam comes up at the handle spot so you are constantly getting steam burns.
Do not buy
