Why your waffles turn out better with Joy

Air vents for crispy waffles

Small air vents let steam and air bubbles escape while baking. That’s what helps you get waffles that are evenly baked, crisp outside and soft inside.

Even thickness across the whole waffle

Joy uses unique cone-shaped plates to spread the batter evenly, so you don’t have to “push” batter around, and you get consistent results waffle after waffle.

Easy timing

A sound signal and indicator light tell you when the waffle maker is ready to start and when the waffle is done, so you can focus on toppings and not check to see if the waffle is done.

Choose your browning level

With 5 heat settings, you decide the finish, from light and soft to golden and crispy. The settings adjust both temperature and baking time.

Double non-stick coating for easy release

The double non-stick coating helps waffles release easily, with no need for extra butter during baking, and makes cleanup quicker afterwards.

Quick clean after baking

Unplug the waffle maker and wait until it has cooled down fully before cleaning. Do not place it in water or rinse it under running water. Wipe with a lightly damp cloth, and remove any crumbs or residue from the plates using kitchen paper or a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and pointed utensils as they may damage the non-stick coating.

Less mess on the counter

The included measuring ladle gives the right amount of batter, so you get full waffles without overflow and sticky drips.

Easy storage

Joy can be stored upright in kitchen cupboards to save space. Height when stored vertically is approx. 27 cm.

FAQ
How do I get crispy waffles?

Use a waffle maker with steam vents, like Joy. Don’t stack waffles right away, place them on a rack, and try adding a little sparkling water to the batter for extra crispness.

Do I need to grease the plates?

Joy has a double non-stick coating, so you typically don’t need extra butter during baking.

Why do waffles bake unevenly in some waffle makers?

Even baking depends a lot on plate design and steam release. Joy’s cone-shaped plates help spread batter evenly, and the vents help moisture escape during baking.

How do I keep my waffle maker in good condition?

Let batter rest 15–30 minutes before baking, avoid very thin batter, and use wood/plastic tools to protect the coating. You can also make a cleaning waffle to keep your waffle iron spotless and in top condition.
