Customer Reviews of Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker
Customer Rating:   Summary: View the uneven heating Comment: I'm planning to purchase two of these irons. One for us and one for my son who also remembers the one handed down from my parents that looks just like this one. I think ours was a "GE" and maybe they sold the rights to B&D. The reviews mention flimsy -- what isn't today? Anyway, the customer image of the cooked waffle shows a shortcoming that may be difficult to overcome. If you look at the brownness of the cooked waffle you will notice a ring right around the waffle that is darker. That indicates the heat in that area was higher than in the rest of the plate. My suggestion would be to preheat the iron longer and with the lid closed. This will allow the entire metal plate to become more uniform and hopefully produce a more even color and "doneness" to the product. Since a "next" waffle will be started after the instant one has cooked long enough to drive off the moisture it should also have allowed the plates to get back to a fairly uniform temperature but a short empty reheat might help. Gordon P., P.E. Customer Rating: Summary: We love this waffle iron Comment: This grill and waffle baker replaces one we have had for several years that was never satisfactory. We returned one like it believing the thermostat was broken and received an identical replacement with the same problem. (This was dealing with another department store.) After several years without waffles, my husband began to crave them again, we so ordered the Black and Decker. It heats up in about 7 minutes and each batch of pancakes is done beautifully in about 5 minutes after being placed on the hot grids. We really enjoy using it. Customer Rating: Summary: yayayayaya! Comment: I have one of these. It's from 30 years ago. My dad would make waffles in it. When he passed, I insisted on keeping it. This makes the small-hole waffles which are great for butter. The orange light on front tells when it's at temperature. This doubles as a "done cooking" light. There's a knob on the front for baking temperature. Hotter makes it more crispy outside and gooey inside. Cooler makes it dry out more but take longer to cook. The plates flip to allow you to make a grilled cheese sandwich, or pannini type goodies very quickly, without the stripes. The finish is stainless steel. The unit overall is durable, easy to use, and easy to clean. The only minus is, since it's metal on the outside, it gets hot. If you're clumbsy, or your kids like to reach up, then you might want one that's mostly plastic on the outside. Customer Rating: Summary: China Junk Comment: Black and Decker used to be good. Their products were well designed and quality built. This product supports "not any more". The product is cheap and flimsey. I didn't even bother to plug it in. I contacted Amazon who graciously took the item back. Forunately B & D has not messed with DeWalt, Porter Cable and Delta too much eventhough my Delta hybrid saw did have some problems upon delivery. I had to give the product a star (system requirement) eventhough it doesn't deserve one. Customer Rating: Summary: Sticky Comment: Works well but I find that the batter is constantly sticking to the "nonstick" surface. Even reoiling has not helped, so my next step is to change recipes and see if that helps.

Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Choosing Appliance -> Built-in Ovens Ease of cleaning is well worth considering at the outset. Stay clean liners resist dirt build-up but pyrolitic cleaning is the ultimate. It burns off all baked-on debris at 500°C so that all you have to do is sweep out the resulting ash. Look out for ovens with a steam cleaning facility, too, and remember that some ovens have removable inner doors that are easy to clean. Black & Decker G48TD Grill and Waffle Baker
