Reply #24: I'm seriously contemplating a waffle iron

[merci_me]

Several years ago I bought a sandwich maker that has grids that you can flip for waffles, but the waffle function was really substandard. I used the sandwich grids a lot when the grandkids would visit. They especially loved any StoveTop dressing made up and then put in the sandwich maker to make nice crispy triangles. But waffles, they preferred the frozen ones, which I never bought except when they asked.

Anyway, this past summer, we took one of the grandkids on a three week road trip to Ohio. Except for 5 days with relatives, we were "touring" and stayed at several hotel/motels that had a make-your-own breakfast buffet. Most everyone of them had a professional level waffle maker and we loved it.

Now I see the Waring WMK300 Pro which looks exactly like the ones we used this summer. I've been hesitant, since they're $80 and I didn't think I'd want to clean up, but after this topic, I decided to check www.epinions.com and it gets great reviews INCLUDING ease of cleaning.

I think when the tax refund comes, I'll let my husband tell me some stupid thing he wants to buy and I'll just say, "Good idea, honey." , then I can buy the waffle maker without him saying, "How often do you think you'll actually use that?"
