It is a given fact that I am fond of gadget in any shape or form l recently put my hands on a new one, during our stay in San Luis Obispo: A Waffle Maker.
Every now and then, I admit enjoying eating waffles and to the contrary of one of my friends, Chris, I don’t buy them frozen at the supermarket (actually I should maybe try this as well). But the making of the waffles is a messy process. Kitchen gets dirty, waffle iron gets dirty, I get dirty and as a result, Sarah gets unhappy!
But in this case, the process was dead simple and required only a couple of tools, all provided by the hotel:
- a waffle mix dispenser
- a paper cup
- an automated waffle iron (with built in timer)
- a plate
- syrup
So how does this work? As easy as 1-2-3.
Fill the paper cup with waflle mix. This should be enough for 4 waffles.
Pour the mix on the iron
Close Iron and flip it. At that precise moment, a timer starts and displays 2:50 minutes until process completion.
Go and read paper for 3 minutes. Come back when timer has reached 0:00. Open iron. Serve
Pour syrup on top. Start eating…
So, how did these compare to real home made waffles? Well, taste was OK, aspect was good, but the main disappointment was in the texture… Chewy, chewy and more chewy as if not cooked well enough despite the automated timer… But good enough to be eaten every morning of our stay in SLO!
