5 Reasons Why You Need a Waffle Iron in Your Life Right Now

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UVM chapter.

One appliance that hasn’t gotten a whole lot o’ love (except, probably from your grandma) until recently is the waffle maker. If you are like me and eat three waffles a day and have a collection of waffle makers then you know that they are a gift from the heavens.

If you’re not human and hate waffles and don’t have a waffle maker collection, then here are five reasons to get off the couch and buy a waffle maker:

1. Easy to Clean

A waffle maker is one of the easiest appliances to clean, just make sure you spray it with oil before you put in whatever you’re cooking.

2. Cooks Everything

French toast, quesadillas, pizza, cookies, you name it and you can waffle-lize it. You could literally put anything in this magical appliance and it will create perfect waffle wells in your treat.

3. They’re Cheap

Even though, Vermont is still in the prehistoric ages and doesn’t have one, Target sells waffle makers for under $25, I promise you it will be the best $25 you’ve ever spent.

4. Easy to Use

Easiest appliance you will ever use. All you have to do is spray the waffle maker, pour in the batter, and flip over. Simple. If my grandma can figure out how to use, you can too.

5. Done in 5

It doesn’t take long for a waffle maker to heat up. By the time your oven is done pre-heating, your waffle maker will already be done cooking your delicious treats.
