Back away from the Bisquick, friends, because your waffle iron can do a lot more than make waffles.通过创建其他表面积，并在其上施加高温，华夫饼铁可以产生新的质地和风味，米饭或土豆等酥脆的淀粉以及焦糖蔬菜和水果。Just as a waffle’s myriad compartments hold syrup and butter, other foods similarly benefit when it comes to salsa, pesto and other toppings.改变食物的形状和地形不会改变其营养特性。这符合“ Tito”或“ Twinkie-In，Twinkie-Out”的原则。尽管如此，烤食物还是为熟悉的收藏夹增添了有趣的转折，并重新发明了剩菜。
1. VEGETABLES
A waffle iron is great for cooking veggies such as夏南瓜和other squash,eggplant, peppers and asparagus. Slice about 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick, toss with olive oil, kosher salt and cook for 3–5 minutes. Asparagus stalks 1/2 inch in diameter or skinnier work best. Go really green by makingthese waffle iron kale chips。
2.水果
Any firm-fleshed fruit suitable for grilling can also be tossed on a waffle iron. Stone fruits,苹果, pears, figs,菠萝和evenplantainsworkwell。
3. QUESADILLAS
You might wonder if the waffle maker will punch holes in a quesadilla. The answer: not really. Instead, it makes littlewaffle-shaped tortilla pockets of cheesy goodness。A round waffle maker is probably better than a square one, but it’s hard to see how you’d go wrong either way.
4. OMELETS
For each omelet, beat two eggs plus two tablespoons of milk, stir in chopped onions and peppers, pour onto a waffle iron and cook until the eggs are set. Is it an omelet? Is it a frittata?你决定。
5. MUFFINS
Waffles are basically muffins anyway, though muffin batter is a little thicker and usually sweeter. Still, any muffin recipe will cook up in your waffle iron. Pour it in, close the lid, cook until steam stops coming out. Leave it in a little longer if you want a more crispy bite. Keep a sheet pan underneath your waffle iron to catch any spills.考虑到这一点，您可以看到华夫饼干制造商也将如何制作banana bread,carrot cake和甚至布朗尼蛋糕。
6.哈希布朗
哈希棕色和其他磨碎的根蔬菜为华夫饼铁提供了丰富的机会。切碎的土豆，在用融化黄油刷的华夫饼铁上煮约15分钟waffled hash browns。Combine with beaten egg forlatkes。Change the flavor by substituting地瓜for some or all of the potato or use other root veggies like carrots, parsnips and turnips. Shred something else entirely, like zucchini, and bind together with milk, flour and grated parm to制作油条。
7. TATER TOTS
Some people may say these are simply another form of hash browns, but I beg to differ. Skip the grating andfill your waffle iron with tater totsfor a crunchy delight.
8.烤奶酪
The grilled-cheese variations alone, when you consider the innumerable combinations of bread, cheese and other ingredients, are simply staggering. Here’sone example,another和another。我倾向于用两个剩下的华夫饼作为面包制作烤奶酪三明治。
9. FALAFEL
Falafel is usually pan- or deep-fried, but when you make awaffle falafel，唯一需要的油是烹饪喷雾。使用圆形华夫饼机的奖励积分，因为沙拉三明治与圆形皮塔饼面包相匹配。
10. POTATO
全土豆，烤或微波炉直至先嫩，在其中搭配神话般的褐色外观waffle whole potatoes。Use red potatoes, yellow or Yukons.
11. REPURPOSE LEFTOVERS
There are a lot of leftovers that take on new life in a waffle iron. A short list:leftover fries,剩下的披萨,leftover mac & cheese,剩下的土豆泥,leftover stuffing，剩下的米饭，剩下的烩饭，剩下的玉米粥, and leftover meatloaf.
