Waffles!

I have been yearning for waffles.  Many garage sales yielded only one waffle iron, and I wasn't happy with it.  The waffles were uneven and not such a good texture.

Time to bite the bullet and get a real waffle iron.  I chose All-Clad and got it on Amazon.

It's hard to photograph, since it's so shiny.

This is the old-fashioned round waffle iron.

It takes about 4 minutes to make each waffle.  I let them rest in a 200º oven until I had enough for our meal.  I did baste the grates with butter before the first waffle, but none of the waffles stuck.

The only drawback, so far, is that the grates are not detachable and have to be washed or wiped down while still attached.  Another disadvantage, perhaps, is that it is made in China.  All-Clad is an American company that does much of its manufacturing in the US, but not this piece.



The first waffles are using the NY Times recipe:
