Traditional waffle irons are attached to tongs with wooden handles and are held over an open flame, or set on a stove.
Most modern waffle irons are self-contained tabletop electrical appliances, heated by an electric heating element controlled by an internal thermostat.
Professional waffle makers are usually made of cast-iron whereas domestic models are often teflon coated.
Many have a light that goes off when the iron is at the set temperature.
Most modern waffle irons - particularly cast aluminum ones - are coated with a non-stick coating (e.g.
teflon) to prevent the waffles from sticking to them.
Cast-iron waffle makers are usually not coated and require seasoning like a cast iron frying pan.
Modern waffle iron makers offer a large variety of choices.
Some waffle irons can make a very thin waffle, capable of making waffle cones or Pizzelle.
While there is no set standard of classification for waffle shapes or thicknesses, models that fall within the most common shapes and thicknesses are often labeled as "traditional" or "classic".
Models that make thicker and/or larger pocketed waffles are often labeled as "Belgian" waffle makers.
In the USA, the most commonly used determining factor of whether a waffle is a "Belgian waffle" or not is the thickness and/or pocket size, although the recipes between Belgian waffles and American waffles do differ. 
All ice cream creations are offered in four sizes: Kid's size (), "Like It" (), "Love It" (), and "Gotta Have It" ().
Also offered are milkshakes and smoothies, among them the Cold Stone PB&C; its large size was designated by "Men's Health Magazine" as the most unhealthy drink in the USA for two consecutive years.
The drink has 2,010 calories, 131 grams of fat with 68 grams saturated fat, and 153 grams of sugar.
All ice cream is made in house using natural ingredients and waffle cones and bowls are baked daily.
Cold Stone also offers chocolate-dipped waffle bowls.
The company also has a line of ice cream cakes and pies.
Ice cream cupcakes and ice cream cookie sandwiches are also available, most of which are made on-site.
Stores also offer the option of customizing these frozen desserts much like their ice cream creations.
Most recently, Cold Stone Creamery has come out with various desserts ranging anywhere from hot brownies to warm churros. 
Drumstick is the brand name for a variety of ice cream cones sold in the United States, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, and other countries across the world.
The original product was invented by I.C.
Parker of The Drumstick Company in 1928.
A typical Drumstick-brand ice cream cone consists of a waffle cone filled with ice cream topped with a hardened chocolate shell and nuts, and much later, with a chocolate lined cone, a chunk of chocolate at the bottom of the cone.
Drumsticks are available from a variety of supermarkets, as well as most convenience stores in countries where sold.
Other varieties of Drumstick include caramel and fudge-filled cones, Mint Chocolate Crunch, Cookies and Cream Crunch, and simply dipped, cones filled with caramel, chocolate and plain vanilla are also found. 
The Belgian waffle is a type of waffle popular in North America identified by its larger size, lighter batter, and higher grid pattern that forms deep pockets and has larger squares than the standard American waffle.
No single type of waffle is identified as a 'Belgian Waffle' within Belgium itself, where there are a number of different varieties, including the Brussels waffle, the Liège waffle and the stroopwafel.
What is known in North America as the 'Belgian waffle' does not exist in Belgium.
It is somewhat similar to the Brussels waffle, but Brussels waffles are crispy on the outside.
As opposed to a traditional North American waffle, the Belgian waffle traditionally uses yeast instead of baking powder, although contemporary Belgian waffles are often made with baking powder.
In North America, they are often eaten as a breakfast food; toppings vary from whipped cream, confectioners sugar, soft fruit, and chocolate spread, to syrup and butter or margarine.
Alternatively, they are served with vanilla ice cream and fresh fruit (such as strawberries) as a dessert. 
The story goes that when Abe was 16, he began to sell paperweights and other items while dressed in Arab robes.
One night, he bought a waffle from another vendor Leonidas Kestekidès a fellow Greek Ottoman who came from Ghent in Belgium with the Fritz Waffle machine invented by his cousin Georges Krieger-Zacharidès( Fritz) in 1855 in Brussels and proceeded to roll it up and place a scoop of ice cream on top.
He then began selling the cones at the St. Louis Exposition.
His cones were such a success that he designed a four-iron baking machine and had a foundry make it for him.
At the Jamestown Exposition in 1907, he and his brothers sold nearly twenty-three thousand cones.
After that, Abe bought a semiautomatic 36-iron machine, which produced 20 cones per minute.
