Make the Best Breakfast Ever with These Waffle Makers

There's nothing better than a thick, fluffy waffle for breakfast—but before you get to mixing your batter, you should probably invest in one of the best waffle makers first. The type of waffle you want to make will totally dictate what iron you buy: Some make square waffles, like Ree Drummond's favorite classic waffles, while others churn out big, fluffy, Belgian-style round ones.

You can also choose between an electric waffle maker and a stovetop iron that can be used over any stove flame or even a campfire. There are space saving options perfect for a few servings or large models to feed the family. If you're looking for something unique, you might be interested in a stuffed waffle maker or one that makes differently shaped waffles. (Who doesn't like a heart-shaped waffle from a loved one?)
