Unless you really are short on space, we recommend buying a double iron so that you can cook two waffles at the same time, reducing the waiting time for all the hungry mouths at the dinner table. The disadvantage of a double iron is that it takes up a little more space, but unless you always eat waffles on your own it’s almost always worth sacrificing this little extra space. Look out for waffle makers that can be stored upright, as they make it easier to optimise your storage space.
