Weary Of Your Aged Waffle Maker - Try A Modern Belgian Waffle Maker

By Frank Froggatt

Lots of people around this world love to eat waffles for breakfast in the morning. Because they are so versatile in what you can put on them, many people even love to have them for dessert. Pretty much all they are is a flat cake that is made from batter and cooked between two very hot plates. As a general rule these plates are designed with a waffle pattern giving the waffles their nicely printed look. The reason that this pattern is so great is because it provides little indentations for your condiments to settle in and soak into the waffle. Even deeper holes can be had with the use of a Belgian waffle maker.

People began making waffles back in the Middle Ages. The earliest waffle makers were used on top of a wood stove or a fire and were simply made of two steel plates with a hinge on them. People used to peddle their waffles on the streets and in some countries can still be seen providing this service to people who want them. Those early waffle makers were quite a bit trickier to use than our modern waffle makers as you needed to know exactly when they were hot enough and how long to keep them in the iron.

Enough of the nostalgia though, as most of those old-style waffle irons have been replaced by the newfangled waffle makers. The really nice thing about these is the fact that it makes it incredibly easy for anybody to make waffles. With all of the sensors and bells and whistles on the new models they tell you when to put the batter on and when the waffle is done cooking. Another great thing about a waffle maker is these days they are all pretty cheap so most people can afford one and they are very easy to clean as they come with nonstick plates which are removable.

Among waffle makers, probably one of the most popular types is the Belgian waffle maker. Anybody can make a waffle with one of these little waffle makers. The thing I like about them is the fact that they make a smaller waffle that is very thick with really nice deep holes for all the goodies. Whether you like your waffles to have any savory flavor with herbs or whether you like them to be sticky and sweet is your choice as the options are pretty limitless. These are very versatile and allow you to make them how you wish.

There are some models of waffle makers that have multifunctionality as you can flip over the hot plates to grill things like meat and even sandwiches. These multipurpose waffle makers are ideal for the people who want more out of their waffle maker than just waffles. - 29884
