Have a waffle iron sitting on the shelf? Get one for a marriage present or a place warming present? A waffle iron could be a great gizmo for weekend breakfasts and big occasions. But seriously, how frequently do it's used by you? Do you get it out even once each week? Waffles are very good, but they are not each day food, not regardless of whether you live in an entertainment park. There need to be limits.

But your waffle iron does not just have to occupy space in your cupboard. You can do lots more than simply make waffles. With a tiny bit of creativeness and some of the tips below, you will find yourself using that waffle iron again and again before it collects another layer of dust. What are you able to do with a waffle iron besides the simple? To start with, just about anything with a batter base can be made in your waffle iron. Consider these options. Bake some Brownies. Warm the waffle iron to the lowest setting. Put a little of your favourite brownie batter in and close the waffle iron. Let the brownies cook for roughly 4 minutes, or till they're firm and beginning to get extremely brown round the edges. Remove them from the waffle iron and let them sit for a couple of minutes to get crisp.

Wish to have a breakfast alternative choice to waffles? Make muffins as an alternative. You clearly lose the cupcake shape of a standard muffin. But mix your muffin batter. Again, like with the brownies, put the waffle iron on the lowest setting and cook till the muffins are browned and set. Often about 5 minutes. Waffle formed corn bread could be a treat alongside your fave chili. Employ a corn muffin mix, or your own batter and follow the same directions as for the muffins above.

Prepared for this? Try Hash Browns. Get your ingredients together for your favourite hash brown recipe. Do not have one? There are dozens, if not hundreds online. Warm the waffle iron to middle heat. You will need to grate the potatoes on the big side of a box grater. Press or squish the mixer to empty out as much liquid as your are able to. When the waffle iron is hot, put about one big spoon of vegetable oil in the bottom. When you have done that, place about a cup of your potato mix in the iron and brush the top with vegetable oil. Close the lid and cook till the hash browns are golden and crisp. That often takes about 8-10 minutes. Season as required and serve.

Waffle formed cookies. These could be a treat for the children, or the adults who just act like youngsters. Put some cookie dough in your waffle iron. You may have freshly baked cookies in nearly 2 minutes. Have some leftover pizza from last night's party? Head it up in your waffle iron. Sure your pizza will look a little peculiar. But who eats leftover pizza for the looks? Sometimes a minute in a hot iron will do the job. And it is a miles better alternative choice to the microwave. Are you a griddled cheese lover? Cook some up in your waffle iron. You've got to have the right kind of bread to try this ( ideally something a bit thicker ). Use your iron as a sandwich press to make a pleasant companion to a bowl of your favorite tomato, chicken or vegetable soup.

Once you get the idea of being creative with your waffle iron, the possibilities are endless. Your friends and family will be amazed at the things you can do. And you won't even have to tell them your secrets, unless they read them here first.
