Waffle Irons

While it would be great to use antique waffle irons, not everyone is an avid collector like me who owns these curiosities, and not everyone has the muscle to handle them. Here is a guide if you are excited to use the right waffle plate for the correct waffle. In Belgium having a waffle iron with more than one waffle plate is very common because, let’s be honest, this is waffle country. Waffles are part of our identity.

The Brussels (or Flemish) waffle is made in a very deep waffle iron plate today, which can only really be used for this waffle. It can be made in a more shallow plate and be just as delicious, and that shallow plate then also works for other waffles, which means you can try out more recipes, so it is a good all-rounder.
