Best Waffle Maker For Chaffles

What’s better than a waffle? A chaffle of course! Made with oh-so glorious cheese and eggs, a chaffel is the stuff of dreams for us cheese lovers. Instead of making a waffle batter containing eggs, flour, sugar and milk, a chaffle is made using whisked eggs, a cheese of your choice (parmesan is undeniably the best) and any seasoning of your choice. When you pour the mixture in the waffle maker and let it cook, you are left with a delicious cheesy waffle.

Chaffels have also become increasingly popular thanks to their low-calorie, low-carb qualities. They are great if you are following a meal plan or are on a keto diet. They are also extremely versatile! You can eat them as they are, make them sweet or savory, pop them in a sandwich or even make a chaffel pizza! The possibilities are endless!

That said, if you want to make some damn delicious chaffles you are going to want a good quality waffle iron. There are few things more frustrating than your chaffle turning into a crumbled mess as you desperately try to pull it out of the machine.

After doing my fair share of research and testing, I have narrowed it down to a few appliances I think you should consider. 

Let’s take a look at the 8 best waffle maker for chaffles!

The Best Waffle Maker For Chaffles: My Top 8 Picks

Dash Mini Waffle Maker

Dash is well known in the waffle world and their 4” waffle maker is one of the best, and most loved, machines on the market. The reason for this is that it is far more than just a mini waffle maker. You can make hash browns, paninis, pizzas and of course mini, bite-size chaffles.

Weighing at only 1lb, this waffle maker is ideal if you have a small kitchen as it won’t take up much space. It is also great to take with you camping or on holiday.

The Dash Mini Waffle maker heats up in just a few minutes and the dual non-stick surface ensures your chaffle is cooked to perfection with consistent results every time. 

You get a 1 year warranty with the Dash Mini Waffle maker and even a recipe book. There are also 20 different colors to choose from, so there will definitely be one to suit your style.

Dash 8” Waffle Maker

This Dash waffle maker is the slightly bigger brother of the machine I just mentioned. This can make one large 8” chaffle (‘cause who wouldn’t want a humungous chaffle all to themselves) or 4 separate ones. Just like the Dash Mini, your waffle maker can make many other things too, such as paninis, pizzas, and hash browns.

Of course, it’s slightly heavier than the mini, weighing 3.66lb but it is still small and compact enough to fit well in your kitchen without taking up too much space. 

This 8” Dash Waffle Maker heats up in minutes and the non-stick PFOA-free surfaces make sure you get the tastiest and even looking chaffles you’ve ever had. It also includes anti-slip feet, a 1 year warranty and a recipe book.

Dash No Drip Belgian Waffle Maker

You can tell I like Dash, right? This waffle maker is ideal for making chaffles as the built-in side pockets mean that any cheese that leaks out won’t make a mess on your countertop. It also makes cleaning up quick and easy.

The No Drip Dash waffle maker makes a full 8” chaffle, or you can make 4 snack-size ones. It only takes a few minutes to cook your delicious chaffles. 

They have also really thought of the design of this waffle maker. The handles lift up easily so there is no need to worry that you will burn your fingers! There is also a preheating indicator light that lets you know when your machine is ready to cook. The non-slip feet also ensure that your waffle maker is stable and safe to use. 

Cuisinart Double Belgian Waffle Maker

Here’s one for the real waffle lovers out there. Cuisinart has a great reputation in the kitchen appliance world, having some of the most reliable products out there. This Cuisinart double waffle maker is great as it makes deep, 7”, thick and extremely delicious waffles. Better yet, it makes two 7”, thick chaffles at the same time.

It also features an on/off switch, which many other waffle makers lack, a turn dial that allows you to control how brown you want to chaffle and a LED light that lets you know your chaffle is ready. It also beeps when your delicious chaffle has been cooked so you don’t need to constantly keep an eye on it. 

The non-stick grids ensure that your chaffles don’t stick to the surface and the ability to rotate the waffle maker means that your mixture will spread and cook evenly.

Secura Belgian Waffle Maker

This machine from Secura is possibly the best waffle maker for chaffles currently available. Its deep grid makes thick, fluffy, golden brown chaffles and the 360-degree rotation ensures that your chaffles cook evenly every time.

It features cool-touch handles for safety and although it does not beep to let you know that your chaffles are done, there is an indicating light that lets you know that your waffle maker is ready to cook.

The plates are Teflon coated and are non-stick, which makes it easier to remove your chaffle. Although the plates are not dishwasher friendly, they are removable, making them easy to clean. This is great as many other waffle makers don’t have removable plates.

Presto FlipSide Belgian Waffle Maker

You are sure to make professional standard waffles with this waffle maker! The Presto FilpSide Belgian Waffle Maker will make you extra thick chaffles using a restaurant-style rotating waffle design.

Your Presto waffle maker will let you know when it’s heated and ready to cook your chaffles when the red light switches off. Pour in your delicious chaffle batter into the grid and set the timer for 4 minutes. The timer is located on the right-hand side and counts down while you patiently wait for your chaffles to cook.

The Presto makes one large chaffle or 4 small ones. What makes this waffle maker stand out from the rest is its ability to rotate, similar to the Cuisinart. Once you have poured in your waffle batter and closed the lid, rotate your waffle maker 180 degrees to spread the batter evenly across the grids.

Never worry that half your waffle will get stuck to the surface as the non-stick grid ensures your waffle is removed easily.

To store your Presto waffle maker, just lock it into its vertical position.
