Waffles Anyone?

[thobbs]

Always burn your first waffle. Then the rest come out great.

Yeah the water dancing thing was big for me, its beyond boiling but not quite vaporizing. thats perfect

The solution is 2 little words:

Eggos and toaster.

But then I'll need to add 120-v power, yet another subject!!
Waffles are more fun! I work w/electrickery all day

Hey, this is a pretty timely thread for me. I have been looking for a CI waffle iron for the last week or so. Somebody who has bought one, where is the best place to buy? I found one place on the web that has new ones. There are lots on ebay, but I am not sure what I should be paying for one there. And there are some that they list as child's toys, that when they put a tape measure on them, look big enough to be working waffle irons.

Any advice or pointers would be helpful.

That's what I'm doing "wrong". The first one come out good and.........well.......I'm going to try it your way.

Waffle Iron 101
- bought one on ebay $24
-bought two at thrift stores $4- 10 after looking for over a year.

Low Base and High Base
Both cook well the high base models seem to cost a little more and take longer to heat up


Look for cracks, handles (mine are all wood), rust. Brands I have a Griswold (the low) Wagner the top one (oldest and it shows) and the Keen



I have seen collector irons go for $150 and those little toy ones are the most expensive. Thse Keen Kutter ones go for alot because there are people that only collect Keen Kutter stuff and these round out their collections. A pain to clean if you burn one. This one is a display. I got it for $4 at a thrift shop all rusty and full of gunk. Hit the electrolysis twice. I have cooked in it. the waffles tasted the same as the other two.

I got razzed by the folks at the Camp ADK Tear-Up, about my failed waffle attempt.

I have a seasoned C/I waffle iron..
Anyone got a good method/recipe?
I need to perfect the deal by fall for the Fall Tear-Down.
I may just have to make breakfast for Dave and Kate, to redeem myself!!

Come on Steve! Wasn't THAT bad... don't you remember all the little guests that patiently waited for you to make another batch the next day?

HMM Breakfast meat for your waffle breakfast this fall!

I'd use caution if Steve serves you a "Raisen" waffle...

Yeah! That's it! Raisins!

Dear Steve,

Don't let them tease you. I would eat the second waffle you make anyday. As a matter of fact when you arrive at the Inaugural Reedwood Gathering next month we will break some waffles together.

[campadk]

Thats it Steve... you practice at Redwood, and we'll tryem out at the Fall TearDown. You have a mission! (ok besides building slick campers).

[Rob]

Dave, now that Steve has learned by error he'll be providing us the good stuff. We appreciate you letting him learn on your tastebuds.

I tried again this morning!
This is a different recipe, not Aunt Jamima's Complete, like in the first two failed attempts. The centers were dry, and they split when I opened the iron. I got this recipe from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Here's the "dog" ...Oops, Lyndsay ate it!

And a bit better..maybe a "kitty"?

One for Phyll..

And the rest came out better!

Looks like the recipe was the trick!
Thanks for all of the suggestions!
PS. I also made my first cake in a new 12-incher..MMM Good! I'm finishing the last piece right now!
