Presto FlipSide Electric Waffle Maker


With a space-age look and glossy black surfaces, the presto FlipSide Electric Waffle Maker is a device for anyone who enjoys these small, molded pancakes whose square recesses hold a tasty load of melted butter and maple syrup with every forkful. The FlipSide is a stainless steel device, and thus is likely to survive much longer than a cheap plastic version one would – and it has been engineered to achieve the perfect blend of waffle characteristics – a promise it largely delivers on.

The cooking apparatus is of professional quality, allowing a thick, meaty waffle to be baked in just a few minutes, including such additives as strawberries or pecans if desired. Filling the waffle recess, then flipping it 180˚, results in special waffle characteristics because of the distribution of batter. Following this process produces a crisp, thin, crunchy shell on the waffle, while the inside of the miniature pancake is a light, fluffy, toothsome texture – the perfect combination to many waffle aficionados.

Since cooking waffles is a brief and finely balanced process, the presto FlipSide Waffle Maker has both a countdown timer and a digital display to inform you clearly when the baking process is finished, and your waffle is ready to be “de-molded” onto your plate and eaten with the appropriate accompaniments of syrup, butter, and so forth.

The waffle iron portion of the FlipSide can be locked in the vertical position to make it compact and convenient to store in limited space, keeping it out of the way and ensuring that your kitchen does not become excessively cluttered.

There is a limited warranty of 1 year, which is standard for all presto electric appliances, but with care and proper storage, the FlipSide Waffle Maker should provide you with breakfast food for several more years at least beyond the warranted period. The metal construction helps with this, of course, but it is also a good idea to make sure the waffle maker remains clean at all times.

Like all current presto items, the FlipSide has a full range of spare parts available for order online or by telephone as well. A product manual is provided, and all that you need to supply to get the device up and running is the batter for the waffles and the appetite to eat them.
