Product:\u00a0<\/strong>Keyboard Waffle Iron<\/a><\/p>\n

Research:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used to love waffles, but forced myself into pancakes. I didn\u2019t want to be bothered with finding a place to store a waffle maker once I purchased it or the hassle of having a bunch of cords in the kitchen. The Keyboard Waffle Iron, without explanation, is pretty cool, but the fact that I could (possibly) make a good looking waffle and be able to store it is what especially caught my interest.<\/p>\n

\"Control<\/a>
\nHypothesis:<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m not sure my end result will look as perfect as the iron mold.<\/p>\n

Experiment:<\/strong>
\nAt the time of this experiment, I wanted to test the waffle iron, but I wasn\u2019t in the mood for waffles. It was late in the day and I wanted something more savory. I decided to make cornbread (the box mix \u2013 nothing fancy) in the waffle maker.<\/p>\n

Our UncommonGoods Butter Churner<\/a>\u00a0works great as a mixer for small amounts.<\/em><\/p>\n

The instructions on the waffle maker say to pre-heat itover medium-high heat before you start. So I pre-heated (flipping occasionally) while I prepared my other dinner items.<\/p>\n

\"Butter<\/a><\/p>\n

After pre-heating \u2013 I removed from the heat and sprayed the iron with cooking spray (reminded me of real keyboard duster spray).<\/p>\n

\"8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After spraying \u2013 instructions direct you to only pour \u00be cup of batter and close, return to heat. Once on heat \u2013 cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side (I flipped every minute and a half). There were some bubbling noises<\/a>, but everything was fine.<\/p>\n

\"Keyboard<\/a><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
\nIt looked like an actual keyboard, had the perfect texture, and tasted good.<\/p>\n

\"Finished<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Keyboard<\/a><\/p>\n

I also made an actual waffle a few days later. I didn\u2019t reread the instructions and it still turned out tasty.<\/p>\n

\"Yum!<\/a><\/p>\n

Cleaning is very simple \u2013 I cleaned it immediately after using the iron each time. There weren\u2019t many food components left in the iron, because it forms well to your actual waffle. I rinsed it (all visible particles were gone) and I washed with soap (a dish washing brush helps to get in the grooves, but not necessary).<\/p>\n

\"Clean!\"<\/a><\/p>\n
