Once the stove is hot, all you have to do is pour in 1/4 cup of batter and your waffle iron will be ready in minutes – without flipping it or pressing a single button!

This is what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown says about her waffle iron: “I’m pregnant for the first time and one of my biggest cravings is waffles like my grandmother used to make – not fancy Belgian waffles with deep holes like those so popular today, but crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside with shallower holes that she made with her waffle iron from the 1980s. Unfortunately, she died many years ago and her waffle iron has been lost for centuries.

“Oh and I also don’t have much space in the tiny kitchen of my New York apartment to accommodate a giant or even medium-sized Belgian waffle iron. So I bought this little beauty with the shallow holes from the well-constructed budget kitchen brand Dash. It costs $10 and makes perfect Eggo-sized waffles, but with the same texture and taste as a homemade waffle!

“Just plug it in, let it heat up until the light goes out (like a hair straightener), spoon in some batter and close to cook until it stops steaming, mine takes about 4 minutes with Krusteaz waffle mix. And yes, that’s what my grandmother always used! They turn out perfect every time and have exactly the taste and texture I’m looking for. And it doesn’t take up any more space than the palm of my hand to store it..”

Promising review: “At first I laughed and thought it was too small to really do anything with. But I was very wrong – it’s an incredibly small waffle iron!! You can make almost anything with it! I’ve made eggs, waffles and French toast with it.” – S PETERSON
