The waffle came out cleanly, and the amount or crisp was a bit underwhelming. Dash recommends not using metal utensils to remove the food out of the device, so I used a spatula, chopstick or plastic utensil to remove the waffles. I used the recommended amount of batter, and it didn’t overflow. I kind of had to time it on my one and really just guess from my prior cooking experience.Įach waffle takes about three minutes to cook, but while you’d expect that leaving them in the device for a longer time makes them crispier, it really doesn’t it’s really just one level of done and leaving them in longer doesn’t seem to add much in the way of browning. When the Dash Mini Maker is ready, all you have to do is pour prepared batter into it and shut the lid – that’s it! What I did notice though is that there’s no indicator light that will tell you when the waffle is done no, ‘ding!’ to announce a waffle is ready. The heating surfaces of the device are non-stick, but Dash still recommends using some sort of cooking spray on it. Of course, you can play around with the amount of batter you make depending on your needs. Dash’s recipe for classic waffles makes six 4-inch waffles, which is perfect to feed two or three people. In general, it is advised that users put ¼ cup of batter evenly in the waffle maker each time, as it can overflow if too much is poured in. This might be fine for some folks who don’t want to spend a lot of time guessing about precise temperatures (and its actually great for aspiring child chefs in your home), but it could also be frustrating for those who are used to being able to dial in amor precise level of doneness.įor me, the Dash Mini Maker took just a minute or to heat up, which was quite impressive compared to the time it takes to preheat a griddle the traditional way. Note that there is no temperature control on this device it’s only on and cooking, or off. The device will then start to heat up, and once it’s ready, the indicator light will go out to advise you that its preheat cycle has completed. There is virtually no setup needed aside from a quick wipe with a towel, as the Dash Mini Maker is already assembled and just needs to be plugged into AC power. Using Dash Mini Maker – no temperature control The device is made with non-slip “feet” so it does not slide around on the counter, and the lid is easy to lift without getting your hands too close to the hot surfaces. The device uses two non-stick cooking surfaces that allow an even cook on both sides, which theoretically is supposed to avoid a sticky mess afterwards. The outside of the waffle maker is made of plastic, which surprisingly doesn’t give it more of a cheap feel. The dimensions of the Dash Mini Maker are 16.26 x 12.7 x 7.11 cm, meaning it is small enough to stash in most cabinets (or even drawers!) and can also be carried with one hand. I got the turquoise blue round waffle maker which is pretty cute and brightens up the kitchen. The Dash Mini Maker comes in a slew of fun colors, designs, and – interestingly – seasonal shapes such as a heart and a pumpkin. While the device is technically a waffle maker, the Dash Mini Maker can also make all kinds of different specialties with the help of a guide with 12 recipes included in the box. Dash’s Mini Maker is supposed to eliminate the huge mess and get your waffles cooked in just a matter of minutes. Making waffles and other delicacies the traditional way can create a mess that requires a lot of cleanup, plus it can be hard to get them cooked just right.
