Three things to consider when buying a waffle maker
Unless you really are short on space, we recommend buying a double iron so that you can cook two waffles at the same time, reducing the waiting time for all the hungry mouths at the dinner table. The disadvantage of a double iron is that it takes up a little more space, but unless you always eat waffles on your own it’s almost always worth sacrificing this little extra space. Look out for waffle makers that can be stored upright, as they make it easier to optimise your storage space.
These days lots of waffle makers allow you to set the temperature yourself, making it easy to adjust the cooking temperature to make your own perfect waffles. With a sound indicator that rings or beeps when the waffles are ready, you can do other things while they're cooking without the risk of them burning.
There are lots of types of waffle irons these days:
Classic cast iron waffle makers don’t use electricity, but are placed directly on a heat source. This is great if you want to cook waffles over an open fire, by the campsite or up in the mountains.
Electric irons for heart-shaped waffles almost always have a non-stick coating that prevents the waffles from sticking. This means that you don’t need to add fat when cooking. They are easy to keep clean and only need to be wiped down with paper.
Belgian waffle irons make slightly thicker, often square waffles that we associate with Belgium. It’s a fun dessert with a scoop of ice cream or strawberries with a little chocolate sauce drizzled on top – or why not with a little sour cream and vendace roe?
Waffle bowl makers create small waffle cups that you can fill with ice cream or other delights (perhaps a mix of everything you like?). It’s a sure way to impress your guests after dinner or at an ice-cream party.
Here is a great recipe for breakfast waffles.
