Thanks, Wayne. We keep buying used waffle irons (we have two now),
but we haven't tried making waffles yet. LOL! We might just have
these for dinner, if Crash is so inclined - he loves waffles.

I think that we are a dying breed. I have a waffle iron and use it frequently.
While I am not that keen on separating the eggs and beating the whites when I
could just make pancakes with the same basic recipe. I am willing to do it once
in a while. My wife prefers waffles, so she does them more often. Most waffle
irons are rarely used. I know lots of people who have waffle irons that are never
used. It's a shame. I have tried the frozen waffles and they just don't compare.

I've been thinking "waffle iron" "waffle iron" but I just can't make up my
mind what to buy. I discarded a combo pizzele/waffle iron just within the
last few days. I bought it in 1987 never want to see that thing again.
What a mess! (It was almost memorabilia to me as a friend carried it on the
plane to Hawaii when I lived there and it is heavy as can be.)
Probably 2 years ago DH came home with a "bargain" waffle maker. It, too
was a diasaster. A flimsy little piece of nothing.

So I'm thinking big time now -- up to $100 for the VillaWare Uno
Professional 1400 watts -- or the Waring at BJ's, I think, for $50.
I just don't understand the Waring's 'flip around style.' What is that all
about? The Villaware Uno is the one I would get and someone on a ng said
they loved it, but the thing that holds me back is that it doesn't say the
thickness size of the waffle. This is important to me. I saw Rachel use
what I thought was it (because it holds 6 waffles) and her waffles looked
thin. I do not want thin.

Do you mind naming the brand that you are satisfied with?
Thanks so much.

Dee, you probably want a Belgian waffle iron, which is thicker.

I have a very inexpensive waffle iron, a Proctor Silex Morning Baker. It's
available in both styles, regular and Belgian. It makes one round plate-
size waffle. I've had it for about 5 years and have been estremely happy
with it.

Monty Python flashback:

"Good evening and welcome to another edition of 'Prejudice' - the show that
gives you a chance to have a go at Wops, Krauts, Nigs, Eyeties, Gippos,
Bubbles, Froggies, Chinks, Yidds, Jocks, Polacks, Paddies and Dagoes."

"the result of last week's competition when we asked you to find a
derogatory term for the Belgians. Well, the response was enormous and we
took quite a long time sorting out the winners. There were some very clever
entries. Mrs. Hatred of Leicester said 'let's not call them anything, let's
just ignore them' ... (applause starts vigorously, but he holds his hands up
for silence) ... and a Mr. St. John of Huntingdon said he couldn't think of
anything more derogatory than *Belgians*. (cheers and applause; a girl in
showgirl costume comes on and holds up placards through next bit) But in the
end we settled on three choices: number three ... the Sprouts (placard 'The
Sprouts'), sent in by Mrs. Vicious of Hastings... very nice ; number
two.....the Phlegms (placard) ... from Mrs. Childmolester of Worthing; but
the winner was undoubtedly from Mrs. No-Supper-For-You from Norwood in
Lancashire... Miserable Fat Belgian *******s! (placard; roar of applause)"

I'm in the market for a waffle iron too. The one I have isn't timing the
waffle right and there have been a few burned waffles. I just time each
one, but hubby today decided to make waffles while I was a sleep and woke me
up dangling a mangled waffle in my face asking "why would a waffle turn out
like this?" Groggly I said, "Because you took it out too soon." Angryly he
said, "Yeah, but if I don't they'll burn." Just for some extra sleep I need
Santa to bring me a working waffle iron.

I see the proctor silex at
http://www.shopdirect.com/Proctor-Silex/26500.html - the belgian

http://www.shopdirect.com/Proctor-Silex/26400W.html - the regular one
I think the one I got rid of was very much like this one -- it just wouldn't
do it for me. I want the thick ones!!!!!


Yes, I do want a waffle maker that makes the Belgian-sized waffles.
http://www.kitchen-universe.com/detail.aspx?ID=680 is a Krups which says it
does make Belgian-sized, but does not give a 1-1/4/1-1/2" inch thickness.

http://www.kitchen-universe.com/detail.aspx?ID=219
is the Waring that I see at BJ's for $49.95. It doesn't give a thickness
size either.
I can't understand this flipping business! What is that all about?!!

http://www.kitchen-universe.com/detail.aspx?ID=1862
This is a Kitchen Aid which flips for $299.95. Way out of my budget, but it
flips!

Here is my favorite brand Villaware, but it is made in China, not Italy. It
flips, too
http://www.kitchen-universe.com/detail.aspx?ID=3233
The brand of Villaware I wanted does not say Belgian, and has some
not-so-good reviews. But this might be an alternative.

The throw-away that DH brought home sometime ago had some kind of shiny
slick surface that you almost looked like a black mirror. I don't know what
brand it was -- something on sale at a kitchen store, too cheap for him to
pass up.

I think I'll either go with the Waring (the cheapest) or the Villaware (my
favorite brand because I love my Villaware panini grill.)

Yes, you can see I want to buy the right one for once and fora all - such a
decision.
Maybe I'll see something that I want when I scout the kitchen shops this
week. Hope it's not a snap-decision impulse purchase.
Thanks for replying, Wayne, it helps me to get my thoughts together.

IMO the best waffles are those made with yeast and allowed to ferment
overnight. THey are really easy, too. Recipe on my cooking page below.

It was a JOKE. The implication was that people are IRONING their waffles to
get rid of CREASES.

Hyuk hyuk hyuk.

Problem is, you iron to get rid of wrinkles, and to put IN creases,
as desired.

Creases. Yes. Small, unwanted, tenacious folds. Linen loves them. You know?

Which ways can I pharse this... hmmm, ok:

You have it arse-about-tit.

You have the wrong end of the stick.

I don't iron out creases.

My mother has ironed all her life and you should see her wrinkles. My wife
OTOH despises this fould practice of satan's best dreamed torture, and is a
smooth as silk (but twice as expensive, her knowledge of rap is extensive).

NO! A crease can be of the kind that is desired, or the kind that is born
merely of accident and material properties and is NOT desired. You iron to
remove undesired creases, and replace them with those you DO desire, should
you desire any at all! One would NOT iron creases INTO, a bed sheet, for
instance.
