Spec me a waffle maker?

[pepp77]

I want to make fresh waffles but not sure on what waffle maker to get.

Anyone got one they want to recommend, looking around Andrew James ones seem okay for about £25.

I've got that one and it is not bad for the money

The cuisinart wafu model ones are good, I had one off of ebay
They have removable plates which is a big advantage for cleaning, just immerse them.
New they are nearer £50 though from JL, I think
You can make a batch, keep some in fridge and then put into the toaster.
The makers are a bit bulky though for storage, and often I just make (thick) American pancakes in a frying pan with same batter - with costco maple syrup.

I got a cast iron one for the stove from Selfridges.

It is tricky to use because you have to control the heat manually but it makes amazing waffles.

I guess that is ice-cream ? not the white butter you get in pancake restaurants in the USA ?
the butter they give there in hemispherical scoops melts in the pancakes/waffles much better than regular pat butter in the UK and one day I need to find out how to reproduce it.

I have only made batter using either baking powder or mixed in egg-whites to raise it, but a DinnersDrive-inDives last week, supposedly with genuine Belgian waffles, was using yeast for raising

Anyone tried making griddle pan waffles instead? I've a hankering for waffles but the girlfriend doesn't want another 'gadget'

One of the comments says rather than flipping you can just wack the pan in the oven for 15-20mins.

I ended up getting this one - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LOHDSSI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I managed to snag a damaged box one from the Warehouse for £18!

Being delivered today.

That's Greek yogurt in the photo I think in this instance.

This is what I have.
