Overview
A mini waffle maker that presses batter into 12 different animal shapes at once, aimed at kids' breakfasts rather than full-size Belgian waffles. Dual non-stick plates and an included brush and scraper handle cleanup.
This is a novelty format machine, not a high-output waffle iron, so judge it on how easily the shapes release and how kids respond, which is where the reviews concentrate. Buyers used standard pancake mixes like Bisquick with good results, suggesting it works fine with off-the-shelf batter rather than requiring a special recipe.
- 12 different animal-shaped molds
- Dual non-stick PFOA-free plates
- Includes brush and scraper for cleanup
- Compact size for small kitchens
Who it's for
Good for parents wanting to get kids more excited about breakfast, or for gifting. Not aimed at anyone who wants a single large waffle or high daily output.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Parents consistently say kids love the animal shapes and eat more because of them, and the waffles release from the molds easily and cook up fluffy using standard mixes like Bisquick. The only complaints are that a couple of the animal designs are hard to make out once cooked and that the set does not include a cat shape.
