Have you ever heard of toast made in a waffle-iron? Neither had I. But today I had gotten the waffle iron down to make a waffle for breakfast and hadn't put it away yet. When I saw it later today, I got the brainstorm to make some toast in it. It was really good! The mashed-down parts were crisp and crunchy and the rest of it was fluffy. A little butter and agave syrup made it extra good. "A real taste treat! Try some today!"</div>

Toast "waffles"Heard of folks using waffle machines for grilling burgers and other things.Haven't tried it-but guess the machine can be used as a "toaster"!Another way of using those waffle machines sitting in the pantry!

Toast would be fine!

But if anone ever used my vintage waffle irons for meat I would pitch a fit!! Its hard enough to get one seasoned correctly, you should try to clean one after something sticks!!!

I tried a suggestion in a recipe book of "french toast" waffles-it was a disaster!!Had to clean the stuck peices of french toast out of the waffle machine-went back to the frying pan.I haven't tried burgers in one-it was on one of those suggestions on a computer news website homepage.I don't think I will try that.Making toast in one should be safe as what was tried.

Hans, how do you season a waffle iron?

I have two old ones and cannot stop things from sticking for the life of me!

Hmm, sounds interesting! If this works for toast, I bet that making grilled cheese sandwiches in a waffle iron would turn out good, if you didn't have a sandwich or panini iron.

That looks really tasty! I just might try some of your gluten loafs and wash it down with a carbonated soda to neutralize my stomach acid...so as it can plop down into my large intestine and rot . That way I can keep the gluten from damaging my villi in my small intestine -- hopefully!

Seasoning your waffle iron

~
~


The directions for my waffle iron (Black & Decker, Model WM1240MB) state:


 


Before first use, coat the nonstick cooking surfaces with a light coating of cooking oil. Do not use cooking spray. Wipe off excess oil with paper towels. The first waffle will absorb remaining excess oil and may have a greasy, blotchy surface. Discard it.


 


One thing I dislike about my waffle iron is that the plates aren't removable. Only much-higher-cost waffle irons have that feature. It sure does make clean-up a lot easier.

Really,after you have seasoned the waffle iron-DO NOT CLEAN THE GRATES!You will have to season them over again.Just clean batter from the outside of the machine.At best wipe the grates after they have cooled with a paper towel to clean out crumbs and such.Thats it!I have found removable grate waffle machines just don't work for me-the other side of the grates is smooth-other the waffle side.Had a couple of these machines-they died anyway-so to the trash they went.

Calem, you make it all sound

delectable!
I've seasoned old grilles that way, cast iron frying pans as well.

John, I really do endeavor to try. Thank you for noticing!

I very rarely miss much.

Waffle Iron Uses

I have made french toast using my Belgian and regular waffle irons with no more mess to clean than when making waffles.

How many of you that make home made waffles fold beaten egg whites into the batter? Note any substantial difference in the finished waffle if that step is omitted?

When I was growing up, my mom had a waffle iron that was two-sided. She made waffles on the 'waffly' side and grilled cheese sandwiches on the smooth side. I have no idea whatever happened to that thing. I saw one like it at Goodwill last fall and should have bought it for the paltry sum they were asking.

I use the recipe

That came with Grandmothers Sunbeam, and it calls for egg whites , folded into the batter, the waffles are lighter and more crispy, I don't think it can be beat,they got that waffle iron in the late 40s and it died in the 70s, I have several like it now.
