Toying with buying a waffle iron
Comments (22)That was a lot of fun Bobby, thanks for finding it! Chocolate waffles with ice cream--yum! Alton was down on the square waffle irons, due to the heat distribution or something, but I like them for toasting. Yes, I know I can break up the other kind. I am very limited with my toaster. It is only big enough for toast made from a small piece of bread. Also the waffle irons I like, that seem to be the most heavy duty for the square waffles, are for the Belgian kind, which I think might not fit in my toaster. Here are the ones I'm thinking about getting: Cuisinart Belgian Waffle Iron Calaphon Belgian Waffle Maker Krups Waffle Chef Belgian Waffle Maker Cucina Pro 1452 Belgian 4 square waffle iron Those were the only ones I could find that seemed to have sufficient electric juice and heavy duty cast aluminum "irons" and also a non-stick finish that didn't wear off. Most of the cheap nonstick stuff I get wears off and I really don't like that, not to mention that the "non-stick" part pretty much becomes non existent at that point. I think they're all going to make too big of waffles though, but I can reheat them in the oven I guess. I'm not really ready to buy a new toaster, and I don't really have much room for one. I really love my retro one, but it is really not good for much else but toast. They do sell a non electric real iron one, but I dunno, sounds like a recipe for me to burn myself or melt something in the kitchen. Maybe someday when I get my dream woodburning stove and I can just shove it around any old where....See More'Inherited' family electric pizzelle maker--questions
Comments (10)Posted by annie1992 " coconut, I've also used many old appliances from the forties or older, with no ill effects. Well, there is that slight twitch, but no one notices much, LOL------" Old appliances are very durable and are generally safe to use. However, over 30,000 homes are burnt down and 300 people killed each year from electrical problems. 1. Vintage electric cooking devices most likely are not properly grounded or double insulated. 2. Old wiring may use cloth and paper for insulation, which can age, crack and fray. 3. The bi-metal thermostat may be worn and fused together, causing over heating. 4. At some point in the past, aluminum had been used for wiring, which can cause fire. Aluminum wiring has been outlawed. 5. There is a very good chance that some insulation inside may be asbestos, which also has been outlawed. dcarch...See MoreGriulled Cheese
Comments (38)Best I've had was at Bleu Squid in Mystic Village in Mystic, CT. YUM!!!! My favorite is the The Original Grown-up Grilled Cheese (a mix of Havarti, Fontina, extra sharp Cheddar & Muenster cheeses) you can add tomato, and it's wonderful, but I usually don't. They are also known for their lobster grilled cheese, with chunks of fresh lobster... oohhhhh! I think i need to go there for lunch tomorrow!! I do have to say, I will not turn down Rita's menu. It's my husband's favorite, too... kraft singles, squishy wheat bread, and campbell's tomato soup. I think it's childhood comfort food. Personally, I think sourdough is the best foundation for a good grilled cheese :-) Here is a link that might be useful: Bleu Squid... check the menu tab and drool...See MoreLook what my DH picked up at an estate sale!
Comments (18)sally2 - I stumbled across the Scandinavian version of the Pizelle Iron in another cupboard. It's called the Krumkake Iron (kruum - ca-ca) I think we can all agree that it does not sound as appetizing as "pizelle". The one I have is in rough shape....another garage sale rescue. I'm pretty sure that's the reason I have never used it....that and the fact that I am not fond of sweets. Nordic Ware is another local Scandinavian company. The style has not changed over the years. The link is to the one you can buy today. Mine was made in the 40's and looks identical. I think the big difference between pizelles and krumkake is that most often the krumkake is rolled into a cone while it is still hot and soft. Just one more appliance you probably don't want! :-) Teresa Here is a link that might be useful: Nordic Ware Krumkake Iron...See Moreempress
