A waffle maker is a kitchen appliance used to cook waffles. It consists of two heated plates that are hinged together, with a batter poured in between. The plates are then closed and the waffle is cooked until golden brown and crispy.
Waffle makers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can be used to make a variety of different waffles, from classic Belgian waffles to thin and crispy American waffles. Some waffle makers also have features such as adjustable temperature settings and timers, which allow you to customize the cooking process to your liking.
