Ah, waffles. These grids can make any breakfast a celebration. But let's face facts: who would want to spend more than a few minutes cleaning before eating? I've done some research (and taste tested) to find best washable waffle makers with detachable grids plates you can put in the dishwasher.

Cuisinart WAF-300, first up. It's like a Swiss Army knife for waffle makers. You can choose between waffles and pancakes. Why limit yourself to one carbohydrate? To make cleaning easy, the plates simply pop off. Stainless steel creates a futuristic feel. It's just as welcoming as a Sunday Brunch.

Hamilton Beach 26031 comes next. It has ceramic plates that are, as the instructions state, non-stick. It won't take a chisel for you to get the last bit. Think of it as Easy-Bake adapted for adults. Did I mention there is a flipping system that feels unbelievably satisfying. It's worth a try. It's like flipping burgers for breakfast, but without the grease.

Black+Decker's 3-in-1 is on the scene. This multitasker is the best. Waffles, sandwiches, you name it. Waffle makers are the equivalent to those who bring a Swiss Army knife with them to dinner parties. Removable plates? Check. Is your dishwasher safe? Double check. You'll be wishing other kitchen gadgets took note when you see your dishwasher loving these plates.

Breville Smart Waffle Maker also known by the name "Brainiac of Breakfast," brings a new flair to any party. There are some customizable settings for the number crunchers who want to achieve the perfect golden colour. Not in the mood to be social? It doesn't mind. It will alert you gently with a chime and do its work. So you can be the waffle master while it does the heavy-lifting.

Oster's waffle maker is next. It's affordable, yet stylish. Like a thrift-store find that doesn't require extra embellishments to impress. Imagine being able to wash away the sticky waffle residues right into the sink. The rotating feature adds a carnival touch without the sand of beachside stalls. You'll want to make sure you lock it tightly if you are clumsy, like I am. Waffles that fly in the air may seem funny, but they do not land as gracefully.

KRUPS Belgian-Waffle Maker is the final product. It is the poster girl for thicker waffles with a crispier crust that rivals any cafe. It's almost as if the plates are embracing the idea of sliding away to avoid a debacle caused by batter. After the food is served, you can sit back and relax.

That's all, people. Not only do these waffle contraptions create a breakfast masterpiece, they also spare you the tedious post-meal cleanup. Waffles on plates that are not dishwasher-safe look like a dog who has no tail. Grab one of these kitchen heroes, because the less time spent scrubbing the better. You'll have more time to watch Netflix with your waffle. Bon appetite!
