I ought this so I could make large batches up when I have time and freeze them for the busy or lazy morning. They freeze well. I put them in a gallon freezer bag with wax or parchment paper between them. Just microwave them 30 to 60 seconds, depending on the amount your reheating. I have seen reviews that says it's hard to clean but I use a cooking spray before every 2-3 batches and have never had anything stick in it ever. I use a pancake pen, also found here on Amazon, to fill the wells about 1/3 full and rarely have them bake over the sides onto the plates. I have used commercial pancake or waffle mix but also have used Jiffy blueberry muffin mix in this. I don't recommend using fresh fruit in the mix as they are typical water filled, which effects the consistency and might lead to an overfilling issue. The jiffy mis has the dehydrated bits of blueberry and works well. I never have to wait between batches to refill, just keep going. Most mixes I have used take about 3.5-4 minutes to cook but you can easily open the top to check them.Pros - ease of use, small in size compared to normal waffle makers, easy to clean and let's face it...fun for kids to dunk in syrup and eat!Cons - no timer (but I make hits in the kitchen so a timer on the stove and microwave makes this very easy to use instead)Overall this maker is great and my entire family love these waffles.
