One of the most common types of homemade cakes are wafers. With the help of the simplest waffle maker, even a beginner gets a wonderful dessert. The main thing that you need to achieve the desired result is to choose the right device. In this article, we will try to help you in a seemingly simple matter, like choosing a waffle iron.
Waffle iron electric: how to choose?
If you are going to buy a waffle iron, first determine which wafers you want to get as a result: large or small, thin or thick, round, square or some funny shape for your kids.
When choosing, you should pay attention to the material from which the body of the waffle iron is made. Today, most models are available with a multi-colored plastic coating. They look beautiful and are easy to clean, but the body made of metal is safer and will last longer. Although these models are slightly larger. Find out if the waffle iron is equipped with a thermostat and a heating indicator. Thanks to these additions, you can set the temperature you need and control the degree of heating.
Also do not forget to check the quality of the non-stick coating. Carefully inspect its surface, if it is uneven, has swellings, bubbles or bald spots, then there is a possibility that the dough will be badly detached from the surface and burned.
Types of waffle irons
To finally decide which one to choose a waffle iron, let's take a closer look at its types:
- Belgian waffle irons. These are wafers, whose models have thicker tiles and can simultaneously prepare a large number of wafers. Belgian waffles are high and airy. Wafers in such models are deeper, thanks to this the wafers outside are covered with crispy crust, and inside they remain soft. This is an excellent option for breakfast wafers
or a delicious dessert. - Waffle iron for thin wafers. Such waffle irons are suitable for fans of wafer tubules or simply thin wafers. They have a small depth of cells. This allows the test to be baked evenly, so that the wafers turn out to be equally crispy both inside and out. These wafers can be rolled into tubes and filled with any cream.
- Waffle iron-sandwich maker. Also there are wafers, with which you can not only bake waffles, but also to roast hamburgers, sandwiches or to make a grill. Such models usually have 2 or 3 replaceable tiles with non-stick coating.
