Know before you buy
Waffle IQ sensors automatically detect the temperature of the plates and the type of batter you've selected. It then calculates the precise cooking time needed to ensure your waffles are cooked through without burning.
Yes, the machine features four distinct batter settings—Belgian, Classic, Chocolate, and Buttermilk—which adjust the cooking profile to suit the specific density and sugar content of each recipe.
You can simply press the 'A Bit More' button. This adds a short, calibrated amount of extra cooking time to achieve your preferred level of golden-brown crispness without having to reset the entire cycle.
The premium non-stick coating is designed for easy release and long-term use. To maintain it, avoid using metal utensils and simply wipe the plates down with a soft, damp cloth or paper towel once the unit has cooled.
The moat is designed to catch and cook any excess batter that spills over the edges of the plates. It effectively contains the overflow, making cleanup much easier than with standard waffle makers.
The BWM640XL features deep cooking plates designed specifically for thick, fluffy waffles. It provides enough depth to create substantial, restaurant-style waffles that hold plenty of syrup.
