Star Wars Death Star Waffle Maker

Product was purchased as used via Amazon Warehouse deals ("used" in this case meant that someone had ripped open the box, decided they didn't want it, and returned it). Product was delivered promptly and arrived in advertised condition. It was given as a birthday gift and we made waffles with it right away. We used a recipe off the Internet, instead of one of the recipes in the instruction booklet, although those recipes look good, too. The waffle maker worked well, and creates nicely detailed Death Star waffles. We found that we needed to experiment with the heat settings and the amount of batter to get the right consistency and ensure the waffles were thoroughly cooked. Once we determined the best setting (we turned it up to the highest setting) and the right amount of batter after the first batch, they turned out perfectly. Please note that this waffle maker will not create waffles with deep grooves and pockets for syrup, as a traditional Belgian-style waffle maker would. The waffles will be closer to a pancake consistency, as a result. However, they tasted great and we had a fun breakfast experience eating "Death Stars". Highly recommended for any Star Wars fan.
