The Smart Waffle Pro experience starts with the user being prompted to select from a variety of preprogrammed batter settings (Belgian, Classic, Chocolate, Buttermilk or Custom). Next, you’ll select your desired shade setting from a scale with a whopping 12 different options; the brand recommends choosing the middle setting (6) during your first use (this is the shade I selected for my tests). Once your batter and shade are selected, the machine automatically programs the timer, and as soon as you pour the batter into the plates and close the top of the maker, that tailored-to-you timer begins counting down automatically. You’ll also notice an LCD light switch from light blue to orange, which indicates that the machine is cooking—another minor but helpful feature.Daniel Shumski, author of the blog and cookbook Will It Waffle?: 53 Irresistible and Unexpected Recipes to Make in a Waffle Iron, interview, January 1, 2015 If you need something a bit smaller or want to spend less, Breville also makes the Smart Waffle Pro 2 Slice, which has the same features but makes half the waffles.

Does it heat the batter consistently? Do the waffles come out evenly cooked with crispy exteriors and tender centers?Criteria for an ideal waffle are somewhat subjective: Some of us like our waffles crunchy on the outside but fluffy in the center, others prefer a purely crispy waffle, and still others like a blond, entirely fluffy waffle. However, some technical standards are pretty universally accepted, and those were what we focused on during our test. A good waffle iron should heat evenly and cook batter consistently from top to bottom and side to side without burnt spots or raw patches. It should allow enough steam to escape during the cooking process to produce waffles that are structurally firm and not soggy. It should also be reliable, repeating the same results batch after batch. Useful features: Basic models have only lights to indicate when the iron is preheated and when the waffles are done. But many people prefer beeps or other audible signals. A machine should also allow for varying levels of doneness.
