Proctor SilexProctor Silex Waffle Cone and Ice Cream Bowl Maker with Browning Control, Shaper Roller and Cup Press, 7.5” PFAS-Free Nonstick Plates, White (26410MN)

This waffle iron is amazing! I use this almost everyday for making breakfast stroopwaffle and sometimes snack stroopwaffles. The temperature control feature this waffle iron has is something I didnt see on other stroopwaffle iron choices. This made my decision very easy and worth it. This waffle iron is very light and small for easy traveling which makes it convenient to stuff into the car for visiting family.I have had this thing for over a year and this stroopwaffle iron has been the one I liked the most. It is so easy to clean and maintain. I simply start by wiping it with a wet paper towel to pick up and oil and crumps. Then a use a dry paper towel to dry and pick up any remaining mess. Next I wipe a little bit of canola oil on both sides with a soft brush. I then turn it on and let it hear up for a bit. When it has been heated for at least ten minutes, unplug the machine and wipe the extra oil with a dry paper towel. I perform this process every 2-3 weeks since I use it most mornings. If I use it more often, maintenance work must be done every day or every few days would be more appropiate.When using it, I use either Bisquick waffle mix, homemade cone mix (for ice cream cones and bowls) or my very own homemade oatmeal waffle mix. This waffle iron handles them well. Make sure your regular waffle mix works well. There is a little bit of steam but nothing too much to worry about. Just use it while not too close to wooden cabinets. There is only smoke if you are burning something.I personally dont like using the plastic cone maker. I have my own stainless steel cone making tools that work out much better. For bowls, I currently only have a plastic one but it works out okay.Overall, this is a great stroop waffle iron. I think it may outlast the warranty I bought for this. Some waffle irons I have bought dont make it past their warranty. I’ll try to update this review if anything changes.

I love this waffle cone maker. It is a big improvement over the one that I had. I used the recipe included with the waffle maker and it is easy and delicious. I was able to make 9 cones or, making bowls, nine bowls. I found that just less that 1/4 cup was the perfect amount for either bowl or cone. I followed the directions and within the 2-3 minute range, I had perfectly cooked batter. Folding around the cone mold can be tricky. Definitely protect your finger with paper towels. Those cones are HOT. For me, it took four sessions to figure out a folding technique that would close the bottom of the cone. I still dribbled some melted chocolate into the bottom to prevent ice cream from leaking out. I have friends eager to try making cones, so this machine will be getting a lot of use.

This is great for making homemade waffle cones or bowls for deserts. It’s so easy our kids can use it. The directions were clear. The waffle cones came out perfect every time and the thickness and softness of the waffle was perfect for rolling. The machine itself is not heavy so it’s easy to store.

Item is good. Definitely has a learning curve to master use easily. Wish the cone form was wooden. The bowl mold is adequate not allows moist to trap briefly. Wish it came with some type of pick for easy removal of cooked waffle .

Loving it.Just got it and already made the first batch.I used a recipe with egg whites and powdered sugar. I grated fresh ginger sticks into it and it tasted like cinnamon toast cereal. :)My observation so far is that the viscosity of the batter does make a difference on the evenness of browning. Play with the batter thickness.With my batter I used about 2 oz of batter per cone. I also pressed down lightly on the top lid to create a thinner cone. It took 2 or 3 minutes to make each cone. I would open the lid at about one minute and flip or turn the waffle to get more even browning.I set the temp half way between medium and high. Next time I will set the temp a bit lower to see if that creates more even browning with less fiddling with the waffle. It wasn't terrible but I can see why people would get impatient or frustrated. This is a fairly high sugar batter and sugar goes from brown to burnt rather quickly.The cone to shape works well. Can't review the bowl shaper as it was not included in the box.When shaping it would be helpful to have a lightweight glove on the hand holding the hot waffle. Get yourself something.I am making more for St Patrick's day and more vanilla icecream. Having good luck with it so far and hope it continues working for a long time.

Quality built, easy to use, easy to clean
