Should I buy a waffle iron? - CJsNvrUrly - 01-30-2016
I love waffles. Cooking? Not so much.
I keep seeing recipes to cook in a waffle iron that look soooo good, I am tempted.
Have you used one to make anything other than waffles?
Are they versatile?
What's a good one to buy?

We love our waffle iron. Was a wedding gift, 27 years ago.
Haven't a clue what to get today!

only if it's a true Belgian-style waffle iron, and not one just labeled as such. (it has to have waffling pattern that is quite large, typically like a restaurant style iron.)

We use ours, and it is easy to whip up a batch. The kids do it. (They also make a few extra and freeze them for weekday breakfasts.)
The Sweet Home gives their recommendation. We have a smaller one they also like as the "budget" pick and it works great.

I wouldn't say they're versatile, but they make goood stuff.
We paid $30 for an earlier version Cusinart. Had it for a few years now. Non-stick, no-spray. Does a good job, although it's indicator lights are kind of dumb.
It makes 4 at a clip, 4x4 squares.
Then we make 'em from a multi-grain mix and a malted mix combined.

Bought a B&D WMB500 six years ago for $20 from Kmart.
Here's the Amazon page for it.
Has held up fine & makes great waffles. One thing I discovered is to coat the
plates very lightly with Canola oil. Makes for a very crispy bake :wink:

An Amazon search tells me we've had this one since Christmas of 2009. Nothing fancy, but we've been happy with it.

Bonus is that it stores vertically when you flip the plastic lever that locks the griddles in an upright position.

If you get a waffle iron be sure it's one that FLIPS.
The flipper ones cook more evenly, light and crispy.
The non-flipping waffle irons are kinda ho-hum in comparison.
