Waffle bakers tempt customers with the enticing aroma of freshly cooked waffles. Waffle bakers are designed for the production of one of three distinct varieties of waffles - traditional, Belgian and cone. The waffle pattern determines the waffle type produced and the recipe used. See all Waffle Bakers.

Traditional Pattern

Used to produce breakfast waffles
Waffles are thin, dense and usually served for breakfast with butter and syrup topping

Belgian or Brussels Pattern

Used to produce a lighter and thicker version of the traditional waffle
Often served for breakfast or dessert with fruit, confectioner’s sugar or whipped cream as toppings

Cone Pattern

Used to make thin and dense waffles
These waffles are rolled, while warm, into a cone to hold ice cream

Other things to consider

Which are better, aluminum or cast iron plates?

While aluminum heats up faster, cast iron best retains heat. For high volume waffle production, cast iron plates ultimately perform better with three times more output.

Which are best, round or square plates?

The shape, round or square, is merely a personal preference. It does not affect the taste of the end product.
