Mr. loves Belgian waffles. Since I am such a doting wife and I plan on winning the 2012 Spouse of the Year Award (I hear the prize is mimosas in bed, all you can eat cookies, and a foot massage), I made Mr. Belgian waffles this morning.
I must admit, it has been quite a while since I’ve taken on this task. We gave away our waffle maker before leaving Spain, and although he got a waffle maker for Christmas from his Secret Santa, I haven’t had the time (or more, the willingness) to make his favorite breakfast.
But today, I made the waffles.
It’s easy really, and I enjoy them almost as much as Mr. However, the clean-up is what I absolutely detest.
WHY are waffle makers so hard to clean!?! I mean honestly, the time I spend cleaning the stupid machine after making waffles makes it almost worth spending $30 to go out to breakfast instead; or an even better idea, throwing out the waffle maker and buying a new one each time I make them.
No matter how I clean it, it’s still greasy. I follow the instructions, soap and water only. I don’t even think about submerging any portion of the machine in water or it will die a horrible death and possibly shock you or set fire to your kitchen…according to the manual.
I feel like this is an easy fix for the waffle maker making industry. Have the plates be dish washer safe and *gasp* removable. I have yet to find this model anywhere.
If anyone has any ideas or has seen the magical waffle maker I suggested above, please let me know! Until then, all I can do is struggle on. That award is mine!
