This article will tell you if there are any ceramic thin American style waffle makers that make heart-shaped waffles. So why would anyone buy a ceramic thin waffle maker that makes heart-shaped waffles? There are several reasons why someone would buy this type of waffle maker.
The most important reason is that since it is a ceramic waffle maker, the waffle plates use a ceramic coating that contains no toxic chemicals such as PFOA or PTFE, which are both used to make the Teflon that has been linked to toxic fumes that can kill birds and cause illnesses in humans.
Another reason is that many people want to buy a thin waffle maker because they can make the same delicious 7-inch round waffles that Waffle House makes or the slightly smaller frozen Eggo waffles that your mother used to make when you were a kid.
The final reason is that heart-shaped waffles are a breakfast favorite with women because the heart shape is a symbol of affection and romantic love.
After doing some research online, I could only find one ceramic thin waffle maker that makes heart-shaped waffles, the Euro Cuisine WM520 PTFE and PFOA-free Ceramic Heart Waffle Maker.
Learn MoreThe Euro Cuisine WM520 is the only ceramic thin American style waffle maker on the market. Currently, there are no ceramic thin waffle makers that make either round- or square-shaped waffles.
The Euro Cuisine WM520 Ceramic Heart Waffle Maker is one of the best Eco friendly ceramic waffle makers because it has good heat distribution and reheats quickly, and it comes with a 5-setting browning control and a beautiful chrome exterior.
This is a really popular waffle maker because it has a ceramic coating that contains no Teflon (no PTFE or PFOA), a beautiful Italian-inspired design, and it makes five heart-shaped waffles at a time. The cooking surface has an 8-inch diameter. Each heart shape waffle is about 3.5 inches long, 1.5 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick.
This waffle iron is Eco-friendly because it comes with PTFE and PFOA Free nonstick waffle plates so it contains no Teflon and is, therefore, safe for your entire family to use. You can use a variety of batters and shades. It comes with an adjustable temperature dial with 5 different browning settings to control the cooking process and give you the precision you need to make your ideal waffles.
It has a wide drip rim that prevents excess batter from dripping down the sides of the appliance. Everyone knows caked on batter is very difficult to clean so the wide drip rim saves you the trouble of dealing with this problem.
This appliance is affordable and a real bargain for a waffle maker that makes delicious traditional, American, Eggo-style waffles. Unfortunately, it is not a washable removable grid waffle maker that you can clean in a dishwasher because the plates are screwed to the base. However, the nonstick ceramic coating still makes it really easy to clean by hand.
The Euro Cuisine WM520 Heart Waffle Maker contains no Teflon so it has no harmful chemicals and it is really easy to use. It makes great tasting Eggo-style waffles that are thinner than Belgian waffles but it is also easy to clean because of its nonstick ceramic coating. These waffles are as thin as the waffles from a waffle house waffle maker.
If you put a little bit of cooking spray on the plates, the waffles will slide off the plates really easily. It combines innovative and state-of-the-art functionality, handsome Euro-tech styling, safety features, and superb construction. Euro Cuisine’s small kitchen appliances are always beautifully styled, built to last, and focused on fresh, low-fat cooking in a modern manner.
