Best-designed Maker

When it comes to an easy-to-use waffle maker, our Test Kitchen loved the Calphalon Intellicrisp Waffle Maker. Its LCD display guides you through the process with “preheating,” “ready to cook,” “cooking” and “complete” prompts. The nonstick ceramic surface was a cinch to clean and the waffles popped out perfectly on the middle setting.
