As many of us know, you've come to the right place!

What a wonderful introduction! Welcome to eGullet.

I decided not to bother with another batch of waffle batter and called Cuisinart instead. A new waffle iron is on it's way.

Too bad they don't ship outside of the U.S.A.

Since you mentioned Meyer Lemon, can it be used as a 1 for 1 substitute for regulat lemons? My nearest grocery had a good buy on them last week and I almost bought a bag until I remembered that I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them.

I want to buy some lemons and limes in bulk. What is the best way to freeze the zest? If I remove the peel and 100% of the pith, is there any reason why I can't pulverize the flesh in my Vitamix and strain that mixture to maximize the juice? I'd freeze the juice in ice cube trays.

Do all your waffle irons cook evenly?

Nice! How long did you bake it for? -

This may or may not be of interest to you bakers out there. I find a lot of the small batch baking stuff calls for buttermilk. As we don't drink it and it takes a while to use up, I freeze it in these egg bite bakers. They hold 1 /4 cup each. -
Thank you all for your responses. I ended up buying the Cuisinart WAF 350C and have used it twice. I was not happy with the waffles. They were dark brown on one side, almost too brown, and barely tinged with colour on the underside. I'm going to try another batch and cook one square up on each of the settings and see what happens. Day two I made muffin sandwiches. I toasted the English muffins in the iron, and cooked sausage rounds in it as well. I scrambled two eggs and spread them between the 4 pancake slots. 0nce I flipped them, a slice of cheese went on two of them. Once the cheese had meltedwe had our sandwiches. That turned out really, really well. We'll see what happens with the next batch of waffle batter.

Chocolate Cream Pie from Dessert for Two. The reason the tops look different is because I had plastic wrap on one to prevent a skin from forming while the other went without. -
I'm no expert, but was it over-proofed?

Wonderful! I'm going to try this. -
We have the the Breville Smart Grill and you can't get waffle plates for it. They do sell separate waffle plates but it's for a different model.

What brand do you have now?
-
I'm thinking of buying a waffle iron. I'm not looking for one that makes only a single waffle at a time, I'm looking for one that makes a 2 or 4 at a time. Anything to look out for, both good or bad? Any recommendations?

Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Tonight's dessert is from "Desert for Two" by Christina Lane, called Old Timey Pudding Cakes. These were good, not spectacular, but good.
