Description

The waffle maker

The present invention relates to a waffle maker, and in more detail, a waffle in which raw dough is put in a mold and baked to be crispy can be easily made at home or a small business using electricity, and at the same time, portability and storability are improved. It relates to a waffle maker developed in order to increase the height and to easily replace the upper and lower molding molds with different shapes as needed.

Waffles refer to dough made of flour, eggs, milk, sugar, etc., put in a checkerboard pattern and baked crispy.

These waffles can be enjoyed in a variety of ways depending on the ingredients eaten together, such as sandwiched or sprinkled between waffles, or sliced and mixed, and a waffle maker using electricity has been developed and used for use in general homes and small cafes.

The structure is based on a structure in which the upper body on which the upper mold is mounted and the lower body on which the lower mold is mounted are connected by a hinge structure, and the upper and lower molds are heated to a set temperature by electricity inside. is doing

At this time, when the temperature of the molding die is basically 170℃ or higher, the raw dough is cooked and baked. Most of them had a structure in which the upper body and the lower body were gradually heated by the radiant heat of the molding die.

In addition, the shape of the waffle is determined according to the shape of the forming mold, but the general square and disk types are mainly used, but for various uses of the waffle maker, there are limitations in various uses, such as baking sausage or Giwa food or making donuts. .
