Waffle Maker

A commercial waffle maker holds plate temperature through consecutive waffles, which is the whole difference from a domestic machine — the second waffle should be as good as the first, and on a domestic plate it is not.

Plate shape decides the product. Belgian plates are deep-pocketed for a thick waffle; traditional plates are shallower and crisper. Rotating models tip the batter through the plates so it spreads evenly, which is what produces a filled waffle rather than a thin one.

Timers and indicators matter in a café, because they take the judgement out of it — the same waffle regardless of who is on shift.

Benchstar supplies the range. See the UWB-2H electric waffle maker and the WB-03D.

Season the plates as the manufacturer directs. A bare plate sticks, and scraping it to fix that makes the problem permanent.
