Definice a Význam "waffle iron"

What is a "waffle iron"?

A waffle iron is a kitchen appliance used for cooking waffles, a type of batter-based dish with a distinctive grid pattern. It typically consists of two hinged metal plates with grid patterns on the inside and long handles for easy flipping. To use a waffle iron, batter is poured onto the bottom plate, and the top plate is closed, pressing the batter between the two plates. The heat from the plates cooks the batter, forming crispy waffles with a golden-brown exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. Waffle irons come in various shapes and sizes, including traditional square or rectangular designs and specialty shapes like hearts or animals.
