I want a waffle iron/maker

[ChimpMaster]

On holiday recently they were serving these wonderful waffles on which we'd spread a little chocolate and sprinkle some powered sugar on and it was just the best. The kids loved them.

Now I'm keen to get one of these waffle makers at home, but there are a bewildering array of choices. The waffles we had were not the 1" thick ones, but they also weren't stupidly thin & cripsy. They were just right.

Anyone here have a waffle maker that they would recommend?

Can't recommend one but would also like to know if anyone has one.

I'd the best waffles on holiday recently too... really light and delicious. Fab with maple syrup

Speaking as an 'ex cafe owner', have a look at Nisbets. Avoid any crappy home based stuff.

You can go 'top of the range, pro kit' for about £200.

Waffles rule !!

In fact, have it !! http://www.nisbets.co.uk/products/pr...oductCode=J449

It is not the "iron" that matters, it is your recipe for the batter.

problem with Kids (and wives) is they change their minds quicker than the wind changes direction!

Fork out £200 for a waffle maker and it might turn out cheaper to fly to Antwerp buy some fresh there and fly back.

I suspect the right batter is really important too.

Partially, yes. But your iron musn't cool when you pour mixture on or have inconsistent and patchy heat delivery.

That seems a bit pricey for anybody who is only trying out waffles or only has them occasionally.
You can get a decent one for 30 quid.
This would probably do as a starter. Black & Decker WMB500 Belgian Waffle Maker

At the risk of turning into NLUK, are you sure you're cut out for contracting ?

That is a permie waffle maker, mine is a contractor waffle maker.

Here endeth the lesson

I was suggesting it as a throw away item. Use it, if you like it buy a decent one sort of thing.

I use a cast iron stove/BBQ top jobbie myself.
