Product Information

When I made my second one I blocked the holes up too quickly so no more mixture could get in and so my waffle was thin and lacey with holes.

Although the instructions suggest it may smoke a little on first use, it pumped out tons of acrid, foul smelling plastic smoke for 10 minutes and showed no signs of abating. This means that once the lid closes and the waffles start to cook they start to expand, pushing out hot batter and lifting the lid in the process.The volcano waffle maker was a warded the prestigous 2017 IHA Global Innovation Award for its unique design. Also, they cook in 4 minutes flat, which is roughly the time it takes for my kids to eat a waffle, so there's no waiting. I think i had a faulty machine as it barely got hot enough on first time using it and made pale floppy waffles even following full instructions. This combined with the shallow depth of the waffles mean they cook quickly (3-4 minutes on the highest setting).

Once you have made your first two waffles you can slightly adjust the amount of batter added to the waffle plates. The instruction booklet recommends wiping over the waffle plates with butter/vegetable fat, prior to each use, to maintain the non stick waffle plates. So, all in all it looks like the volcano waffle maker is a big hit, and I would recommend it if you have kids who love waffles.

My children are not small (both bigger than me sadly) but they are very fond of waffles and like the sound of potentially getting messy in the kitchen, so we gave it a go. A rather nice waffle, which could be split into four for smaller children, but my teenagers like them just like that!
