Waffle Iron

I want to buy a waffle iron. Does anyone have one that works well with gluten free batters? Cooks evenly, doesn't stick, easy to clean...

Also, I have four children, so need one that makes more than one waffle at a time.

I have the cheap-o round one from Walmart. Big mistake! It works fine but cooking one waffle at a time for five people is torturous. I am hoping to buy the BIG one that makes four waffles at a time soon. I haven't noticed that the batters stick any more than the gluten batters. I do find that they take a bit longer to cook which makes the one-at-a-time deal even harder.

Get the biggest one you can find. Waffles freeze great and make a yummy ham sandwich.

I also have a cheap one from Walmart. It makes two at a time and has chagable plates that can also make a toasted sandwich. I like it and use it all the time. The plates pop out and can be put into the dishwasher.

I had one of the $10 round ones and just couldn't get the gluten-free waffles to cook evenly and crisp up the way I like it so I sprung for the Krupps Expert and love it. I justified it because if I don't make good waffles then I don't get them! :)

I have the $10 one from WalMart. I liked it so much I bought one for my dd. It cooks 2 square, side by side waffles. They only stick if I over fill :rolleyes:

We have 3 for breakfast. I always freeze some for later.

I have a round cuisinart, but it only does one at a time (it was a gift and free is a good price right now, lol). I do have to spray it occasionally but mostly I have no problem with sticking.

I have a tried a number of gluten free waffle recipes and this is the one that the family likes best (and I also have 4 kids, 3 of them are 13 year triplets, so that is why there is instructions for making just 3. I taught them how to make there own).

      Still unsure.....

      Thanks so much for your replies! no danger of overdosing on the stuff? or having the other B levels going out of whack? I do take a multivitamin with all te other B vitamins at the RDA level. I have bought the HCL version of Thiamine. How long do you need to use the Thiamine? a short periode on high levels and then back to a maintenance dosage?

      Kudos for trying thiamine! On the ingredients label it should say if it's thiamine hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) or thiamine mononitrate or something else.   Thiamine mononitrate is shelf stable and not easily utilized in the body.   Yes, go ahead and try a whole 100 mg tablet.   Take with a meal.  Don't take close to bedtime.  Tomorrow take a 100 mg tablet with two meals. The next day take two 100mg tablets at one meal and 100 mg at second meal.  Keep increasing in this manner as long as you notice improvement.   When I first started with thiamine hydrochloride, I felt like the lights in my head were being turned on floor by floor like in a tall skyscraper.  It's just the brain working...

      Help figuring out stomach pain

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, My 3 year old was diagnosed a couple months ago. We went gluten free, very strict, and everything improved. Energy, no more meltdowns, bad rash is mostly gone. She's doing great. Except she complains every day of stomach pain. She describes it as squeezing. Any ideas from anyone?  We cut out oats and it didn't make any difference. She doesn't drink milk, though she has cheese. It doesn't seem to coincide with the cheese. She says it hurts when she wakes and then other random times during the day.  We are SO strict with her food. We don't eat out, out whole house is gluten-free. I make everything from scratch. She eats very healthy. She's not picky and we do tons of fruit...

      Ok so I couldn't find the thiamine you suggested but I was able to buy a bottle of 'standard' thiamine (100 mg). Should I just try half a tablet to see if I notice any difference? If it turns out it does have effect I can always buy the more expensive stuff. Or is that not a smart idea?

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well.  I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.  Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  The more carbs one eats, the more Thiamine is required to process the additional calories.  500 mg more Thiamine is required for every additional one thousand calories.  This is named "High Calorie Malnutrition."  Sufficient calories are being consumed, but not enough of thiamine to burn the carbs for energy.  Instead to ration out the small supply of...
