What $8.99 got me at a thrift store...

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Nice Hoover. Hoover sourced most if not all their small appliances from other manufacturers, Rival etc. That one looks a lot like the Sunbeam but it also looks very much like my General Mills waffle maker because of that little window on the lid to see the coils glowing inside.

Matt. can't help you. You might have to find another one and steal the thermostat out of it. I've had to do that on some toasters.

Hey Pete,

Could you post some more pics of that wide, but shallow, waffle iron? My mother had that one up until about 1987. I loved it, but have never seen another. I remember liking the foods that came out of it. If anyone knows the model or era of production, I would be thankful.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane,
Dave
 
It's always a crap shot but better to err on too little

Can't tell ya how many times I flooded the countertop with bubbled out batter for erring on the side of too much. One other fact from waffle cooking lore: When the steam subsides, they're done. Love the steam and oh the fragrance of butter and vanilla mmm mmm--much more intimate than cakes in the oven. They look fine. I love 'em dark. Would love to have one now before bed with soft butter, warm Maple syrup ,and cold milk. Sweet dreams, Fred.
 
My family loves sour dough waffles. Our recipe:

The night before mix all the sour dough starter you have (for us, this is about 2 cups) with 5 cups of flour and 3 1/2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast. I put this all in a k-45 kitchenAid bowl that I cover with a dinner plate, and I put a dinner plate under it because if it warm, it can bubble over a little.

The next morning stir it down and take out the same amount of starter you used last night and put back into the refrigerator. Then add to the rest:
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 extra large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 12 ounce can of evaporated milk
I stir this mixture with a whisk. It make a lot of waffles (I use two waffle bakers); Sunbeams like the one you have are my favorite. This makes very light waffles. We bake it on 3 1/2 on the Sunbeam dial. Serve wit real butter and real maple syrup.
