Proctor Silex Waffle Cone and Ice Cream Bowl Maker with Browning Control, Shaper Roller and Cup Press, 7.5” PFAS-Free Nonstick Plates, White (26410MN)

I love this waffle cone maker. It is a big improvement over the one that I had. I used the recipe included with the waffle maker and it is easy and delicious. I was able to make 9 cones or, making bowls, nine bowls. I found that just less that 1/4 cup was the perfect amount for either bowl or cone. I followed the directions and within the 2-3 minute range, I had perfectly cooked batter. Folding around the cone mold can be tricky. Definitely protect your finger with paper towels. Those cones are HOT. For me, it took four sessions to figure out a folding technique that would close the bottom of the cone. I still dribbled some melted chocolate into the bottom to prevent ice cream from leaking out. I have friends eager to try making cones, so this machine will be getting a lot of use.

Quality built, easy to use, easy to clean

This is great for making homemade waffle cones or bowls for deserts. It’s so easy our kids can use it. The directions were clear. The waffle cones came out perfect every time and the thickness and softness of the waffle was perfect for rolling. The machine itself is not heavy so it’s easy to store.

We bought this waffle iron after watching the cones be made at a local creamery. The smell is incredible and makes your mouth water. We are still experimenting with different recipes because some turn out better than others. I would recommend buying a rack to hold the cones while they are cooling. Sometimes, the edges of the cone do not seem to be completely cooked, but they crisp up as they cool down. The included tools are helpful in making the perfect cones. I would highly recommend this product - easy to use and affordable.

I read A LOT of reviews on a lot of waffle cone makers before pulling the trigger on this one. Admittedly, I didn't follow the recipe to a T but, my batter still worked.It is a small, typical "pastry" appliance. Just like a mini muffin or cake pop appliance. It was easy to clean and heats up quickly.It made a nice, evenly cooked cone. I say evenly cooked as MOST were. Some had the very far edge a smidge lighter. Certainly not an issue for me. Still crunchy. And, since I like crunchy cones, I went right to 'max' with no issue. You just need a THICK battery. Thicker than I thought.Gently try to lift the lid, if it opens, it's ready. If not let it keep cooking. It's really not harder than that.Those suckers are HOT though, I'm still working out my perfect timing on the roll.It also cleans easily.As long as it holds up, I'd say I'm really happy with this little gadget! If I make cones as much as we buy and eat them, this thing will get lots of use.

This waffle iron is amazing! I use this almost everyday for making breakfast stroopwaffle and sometimes snack stroopwaffles. The temperature control feature this waffle iron has is something I didnt see on other stroopwaffle iron choices. This made my decision very easy and worth it. This waffle iron is very light and small for easy traveling which makes it convenient to stuff into the car for visiting family.I have had this thing for over a year and this stroopwaffle iron has been the one I liked the most. It is so easy to clean and maintain. I simply start by wiping it with a wet paper towel to pick up and oil and crumps. Then a use a dry paper towel to dry and pick up any remaining mess. Next I wipe a little bit of canola oil on both sides with a soft brush. I then turn it on and let it hear up for a bit. When it has been heated for at least ten minutes, unplug the machine and wipe the extra oil with a dry paper towel. I perform this process every 2-3 weeks since I use it most mornings. If I use it more often, maintenance work must be done every day or every few days would be more appropiate.When using it, I use either Bisquick waffle mix, homemade cone mix (for ice cream cones and bowls) or my very own homemade oatmeal waffle mix. This waffle iron handles them well. Make sure your regular waffle mix works well. There is a little bit of steam but nothing too much to worry about. Just use it while not too close to wooden cabinets. There is only smoke if you are burning something.I personally dont like using the plastic cone maker. I have my own stainless steel cone making tools that work out much better. For bowls, I currently only have a plastic one but it works out okay.Overall, this is a great stroop waffle iron. I think it may outlast the warranty I bought for this. Some waffle irons I have bought dont make it past their warranty. I’ll try to update this review if anything changes.

For the most part it's a perfectly acceptable product, you put the hinge to close was loose or if the box. That and the build is REAL CHEAP. For the price it's fine but feels cheap.

The local Fred's stopped reliably carrying their Belgian Waffle Butter Crisps.I just needed something small and inexpensive for occasional use. I didn't want to spend $50+, and $28 irons to use on my coil stove burner were only a few dollars less than this.The recipe in the guide was good, but browning was inconsistent. It was hard to get them evenly brown without them getting overcooked in parts. And if undercooked in parts, those parts wouldn't be crispy enough.I found a different recipe that used more sugar, and another with white sugar, brown sugar, and honey. Both of those produced cones with more even browning, and all of them were light and crispy, not too hard, but sturdy enough for a lot of ice cream. Another trick was to flip them over halfway through. I thought that would mess up the waffles lines, but it didn't. They just cooked better.I usually just make small discs and add them to ice cream in a bowl, but I do know some people who like cones.These are so cheap to make. This appliance will pay for itself in no time. I should have gotten one years ago.
