Waffles are an undeniably versatile food — whether you top them with fried chicken, douse them in syrup or turn them into cones topped with a scoop of ice cream, you’ve got a solid base for a delicious treat any time of the day. For waffle lovers, the flexibility of the dish isn’t news. But, this Dash gadget, which easily creates waffles bowls out of standard waffle batter might be. In minutes, you can knock classic meals up a notch with a fun presentation for a whole new way to enjoy the food you already love.

We put this Dash Waffle Bowl Maker to the test and were impressed with how easily it dished out sturdy bowls perfect for a number of toppings. Once plugged in, it takes a couple minutes to preheat, and after being filled with batter, only a few more minutes to cook. We added fillings including eggs and sausage for a breakfast bowl, a couple scoops of ice cream for a sundae and fried chicken for a twist on chicken and waffles — whether you eat the fillings first then dive into the bowl or enjoy all at once is up to you!

The compact machine weighs just 3.5 pounds and is just over eight inches in diameter, making it easy to store and move around. You can pick from three colors: aqua, pink or red, depending on which goes best with your decor. Cleanup is also easy since the nonstick coating just needs to be wiped clean. Plus, it’s backed with a one-year manufacturer guarantee and includes a recipe book for even more inspiration.

Now that we’re approaching the colder months, there is more reason than ever to make cooking at home a little more exciting. Plus, we think this waffle bowl appliance makes the perfect gift for the upcoming holiday season. Give it to the waffle-lover in your life or pull it out for an extra-fun holiday brunch — either way, you can’t go wrong with adding this fun appliance to your cart.
