It is definitely not a toy like some of the other cheap household units. There are some other heavy duty household units now on the market. All have enough power to now yield a crispy waffle.

I think once these manufacturers saw the success the Hampton Inns had with that flip over waffle maker for their morning guests, they worked on updating their's.

Boy, that recipe looks great. I'm just too damn lazy. But, I do make my own batter; no packaged stuff. I would like to add some malt flour. I will look for it in the store.



No its regular plug in. And I am sure the Presto is fine. But those old heavy ones sure make a crispy outer crust....Russ

    Ok, it's a regular plug in, but you said you need a separate circuit so I thought it might be commercial grade. Hey, I'm sure it is better than the Presto with all that weight and power. I never knew they existed. I would have brought one. The Presto I got was about $49.00

    I love waffles, but they have to be really crisp.

      Definately. To me, that is the #1 defining characteristic of a good waffle. It's got to be crisp. Otherwise it's just a funny looking pancake.

        What I meant was to run it on an outlet on its own so as not to blow a circuit...Russ

          Oh, and leave off the powdered sugar, pie filling, and whipped cream. It’s breakfast, not dessert, for crying out loud. Serve them with good maple syrup or honey.

          And don’t even come near them with chocolate chips or bananas. Disgusting.



          Right! But, add bacon to my order, please.
