The Cucina Pro Bubble Waffle Maker Creates Delicious Fluffy Treats

— March 31, 2016 — Art & Design
Those out there that have indulged in Hong Kong-style egg waffles will find the Cucina Pro Bubble Waffle Maker the perfect appliance for making your own from home. Working like a traditional waffle iron, the machine doesn't feature complex settings or heat adjustment knobs. Instead the appliance is designed to simply be turned on and reach the perfect temperature for creating bubbly waffles for all to enjoy.

Egg waffles are a traditional snack you'd find on the streets of Hong Kong and Macau in various forms from being rolled like a wrap, to simply pulled apart and eat individually. As Western consumers become more experimental with their cooking endeavors, products like the Cucina Pro Bubble Waffle Maker are enabling them to explore new recipes and treats.
