Electric Waffle Iron Buying Tips

Waffle irons come in ever shape and size, and, as such, in every price category. A recent scan on Amazon yielded a range between $18 and $170, with most falling between $40 and $60 dollars. The most important feature of a waffle iron is that it get hot. Waffles need a lot of heat. So rule out any iron that comes with a plastic body, because you can be assured that it won’t get hot enough. Other important features are a variable temperature control and a light or audible indicator to let you know when the iron is ready. It’s important that the iron heats evenly, but this feature will be difficult to determine. You may not know until you get your iron home and try it out. So save the receipt, and don’t hesitate to return it for one that works well.
