- How do I use a waffle maker?
Very simple! Pour the batter (about 3/4 cup) in the middle of the lower plate. Let it spread, close the upper plate, fip it over and put the timer on (about 3 minutes but trial and error may be required at the beginning — it will depend on the batter you use and how crispy you like your waffles).
- What should I be looking for in a waffle maker?
- Delicious Waffles: that’s #1! Waffles should not come out soggy but crispy on the outside (hence at least 1000 Watts of voltage minimum) and moist on the inside. Thick waffles and deep pockets for maximum maple syrup enjoyment is always a plus.
- Easy to Use: nobody should need to come out of cooking school to operate a waffle maker!
