Patent ID: 7638740

Claim:
A waffle making assembly for creating a plurality of bite-sized waffles from a predetermined amount of conventional waffle batter, comprising: an upper plate and a lower plate, each of said plates having an inner surface and a cavity formed within said inner surface, wherein each said cavity has a generally planar-shaped cooking surface which is surrounded by a peripheral wall having a predetermined depth, wherein said upper plate is receivable upon said lower plate in order to define a closed position wherein the peripheral wall of said upper plate is adjacent the peripheral wall of said lower plate such that said cavities in upper and lower plates define a chamber for the preparation of a waffle matrix when plates are in the closed position; and a plurality of interconnected partitioning flanges defining a lattice having an outer perimeter, wherein said lattice exists in each said cavity in order to partition said cavity into a plurality of smaller sub-cavities, each said lattice traversing across the cooking surface and the outer perimeter thereof attached to said peripheral wall, each said partitioning flange being in a generally perpendicular orientation relative to said cooking surface, wherein each said partitioning flange in said upper plate aligning with a corresponding said partitioning flange in said lower plate and forming at least one gutter that extends between adjacent sub-cavities when said plates are in said closed position; whereby said waffle matrix produced by said waffle making assembly is separable by hand along a plurality of rod-shaped fillets created by the partitioning flanges into said plurality of bite-sized waffles.
