I have an el cheapo Rival that I picked up at Big Lots about 15 years ago. Makes one round Belgian style at a time, but I just put a rack in the oven and turn it on warm. It’s about two minutes’ cooking time per waffle, so not a real problem.

 

No controls. Plug in, wait til the green light comes on, fill with batter, close, wait til green light comes on again (though I always give it about an extra 30 seconds).

 

Serves my purposes.

Oddly enough I was just looking thru Amazon this morning in search of a small waffle iron, suitable for one person.  I decided on this one which will be winging its way to me for Thursday delivevey.

KAF has a yeasted Belgian waffle recipe I want to try

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

 

As an update, I got the new waffle iron and tried it out.  We had lovely waffles.

I made that recipe.  It's very good.

yesterday was waffle morning . . . don't know exactly how I messed up, but seems the batter may have been a bit on the thin side and perhaps a bit too much baking powder...?  used the measuring cup provided . . . as soon as I closed the lid I had waffle juice running out aplenty!

flipped and that side was even worser!!

 

now... the waffles turned out fine - but the mess was a mess.  I left the waffle maker plugged in for about 20 minutes - that "baked" the overflow onto the surfaces and after it cooled down I could easily 'pick it off'  so there's a trick to remember.

 

there are many yeasted recipes - I'm going on a tear to try them all!

Liege style uses "pearl sugar" - anyone used it?  does it make a difference?

For any new wafflers looking for ideas, I highly recommend Dorie Greenspan's Waffles from Morning to Midnight (eG-friendly Amazon.com link).  Used copies are available very inexpensively. 

There's an eG topic on cooking from the book here: Cooking with Dorie Greenspan's Waffles from Morning to Midnight.

I bought a Calphalon Intellicrisp Belgian waffle maker a few years ago and have been happy with it. It replaced a Chefs’s Choice model that I disliked intensely.
