Although I admit I can tend to be a lazy cook, I believe that a totally blind person can perform most cooking tasks. One thing I'm curious about, though, is making homemade waffles. Are there any particular tips and tricks a blind person can use for making waffles? Are there particular wafflemakers that are better than others or that offer features a blind person would find beneficial? I've seen some Chef'sChoice wafflemakers that are supposed to beep when your waffles are ready, for example, but I have no clue how good that brand is.
I know the homemade waffles use a similar batter to that of pancakes, but since we don't have a waffle iron, dad hasn't been able to try it. He says he'd like to get one. That'll be my birthday present for him.
I dont know I personally prefer the ones you just put in the toaster and they're done! Lol! And they dont taste bad, either! Mmmm sounds good! Might go have some! However, I also would like to make chocolate chip waffles one day, may have a recipe somewhere!
Hi, my kids got a Scooby Doo woffle maker one year for Christmas. I really like it. it has a large light on it and clicks when its ready to use and when the woffles are done, and you can also tell when they are done by their smell. I usually use pancake batter or bisquick in a pinch. You can add chocolate chips, fresh fruit, walnuts and many other thins to flavor your woffles. I love home made woffles because they taste so much better than the box woffles. I hope this helps.

i use the george foreman g5 which comes with waffle plates to make them. it is very secure and doesn't get hot on the outside. I use bisquick and add a bunch of stuff to it so it tastes better. Cheaper then pancake mix. I have an older thing that is strictly for the waffles but it gets very hot. It called for 7 minutes cook time and i use this with the george and it works well. the big secret to perfect products n o matter what you use is to make sure the iron is greased really well and that it is super hot.
Thanks for the tip. I'll Google for this model, then, as I've used a basic George in the past, although it's a few years old and I'm told they've made some design improvements including better drip trays than those wretched grease boats, as I call them. Hahahahahaha!
