National Waffle Iron Day

A waffle iron is a kitchen appliance used to make waffles. It typically consists of two hinged plates that are heated and then closed to cook a batter mixture, creating a crispy and golden waffle. Waffle irons come in various shapes and sizes, ranging from small, single-serving models to large, commercial-grade models. Some waffle irons feature non-stick surfaces to prevent the batter from sticking and to make cleaning easier. Others may have adjustable temperature controls or indicator lights to indicate when the waffle iron is hot and ready to use. Waffle irons are popular for making breakfast or brunch items, as well as for baking sweet and savory snacks and desserts. To use a waffle iron, the batter is typically spooned onto the hot plates and then closed to cook until the waffle is golden brown and crispy. The finished waffles are then removed from the waffle iron and served with a variety of toppings, such as syrup, butter, whipped cream, or fruit.
