Default Waffle Iron

Does anyone use a waffle iron?

I sort of scared myself out of using mine a few years back. I waited for it to heat up and then sprayed oil on it and ... let me tell you !! That was the biggest flame I've ever seen IN a house in my life. Hubby came running in the kitchen. Said it looked like a bomb went off from the flash. I guess what happened was the cooking spray hit the coil on the back... and POOF.

But anyways... do you use a waffle iron? And do you use premade mix or do you make your own??

Yes I use a waffle iron - make my own mix and I brush with oil not to have what happened to you! - I use my little brush and I feel so much safer!

I'd like a nice waffle iron where the griddles are removable and are non-stick. That's something that you need so consider when buying a waffle makrer: Can you take out the waffle griddles? It makes them a lot easier to clean if they're removable.

I would imagine that some of the newer ones would be that way. Mine's definitely not. Sucker's as old as the hills.

thats stupid =p non grease oils works better, or even butter for that matter.
Which shapes are best for waffles, considering their speed in which they are cooked in.

I used the waffle irons in the cafeteria all the time in college but don't own my own. I did love making fluffy belgian waffles though!

LOL @ Manga's "that's stupid" Well yeah !!!!!!! DUH!!!!! *laughing* It was WAY PAST stupid!!!!!

But....what the heck is a non-grease oil. I thought all oils were grease...and for that matter....... butter is flamable too. LOL

How exactly do you grease the top iron? Obviously you cant just spray it on (DUH ME) and you cant very well take butter to it... or can you??? Mine gets to hot to flip over and butter, plus the butter would probably melt down & drip on the coils. POOF another fire in the making. *laughs*

I'd say it's time for me to buy a new waffle iron!! With no coils to blow my butt away! *laughing at her ignorance*

And what's the diff between waffles & belgian waffles??

Belgian waffles are fatter!! (the wells are deeper) Great for desserts! Top with strawberries and whipped cream - mmmmmmmmmmmm

Or make chocolate chip ones - top with chocolate syrup and whipped cream - garnish with chocolate curls - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
