Can you cook one waffle, if you don't have enough batter for both irons?

Sure, you can cook just one waffle. You can save the extra batter for the next time you make them. It can stay in the fridge for a week or in the freezer. One thing you don't want to do is over fill the waffle as it will spill out all over your machine. Hope that helps!

Most definitely. Makes the best waffles - and they don't stick - just spray the first one and you are good for the rest of them.

Yes, just like you will always have enogh batter left to justfill one side and cook th e last one, you could start with enough to cook just one.

You can use either. Shouldn't matter. The waffle maker will do its job. But I always make mine from scratch

You can but you may get some overflow in another square but why would you want only 1? If you are not hungry or have some extra batter, just make them anyway and freeze them in a zip lock bag. Pop them in your toaster and presto, just like you cooked them fresh!Tony I.

I did while it worked. The handle broke after about 6 months of twice-weekly use. Don't buy this one. Instead get the Waring double waffle maker. This one is sturdy, makes two waffles at a time, and I anticipate using it for years to come.

Like the other respondents, I haven't had any trouble at all with unevenly baked waffles. I don't measure the amount of batter I use, but I do take care not to overfill each compartment. I have the temp set at about 2/3 maximum, I flip the cooker over immediately after closing the lid, and just wait for the "Ready" light to come on. You might want to keep an eye on the steam that's released during cooking - if a lot of steam is still being vented when your Ready light comes on, just let the waffle cook a while longer. A defective cooker could also be the problem. Good luck!

Each works independently. Basically...1) both sides signal "ready to cook" when you warm the unit. 2) waffle one begins when you open the topmost cover, fill it, close it and spin it 180 degrees. Indicator Light on waffle one goes off.3) waffle 2 can be started any time after step 2, but before the signal light comes back on for waffle 1, about 2-3 mins.4) waffle 2, when you are ready, engages the same way as step 2. When you turn it 180 degrees, both waffle lights will be off.5) based on steps above, waffle 1 light will be in top position when it indicates that waffle 1 is ready. Remove, refill, and spin 180 degrees. Repeat until all waffles are done!Hope this helps. Each works independently.

Of course but you may want to watch out temp so it doesn't burn waffles. Also get a hard plastic bristle brush to clean after. Makes it so much easier.

No, directions say to check when steam stops coming out the waffle is done. I don't think any waffle makes has the feature since it varies with the type of batter you use.

We make our batter from scratch, no mix. With our batter you can make both waffles and pancakes.

I put batter in each of the four squares, so it ends up like four Belgian waffles. Individually, they would fit into a toaster. As a whole, probably not. I think you will find that they end up coming out more like four waffles than one, though.

The dial controls the timer, but I think it would cook the waffles well for your needs to use the lower numbers. We make some waffles with almond flour and they like to cook longer. In fact I just left them in and reset the timer and they were fine. When we made waffles with Pamela's Pancake mix. They don't need long at all so they get less time. So far we have enjoyed this waffle iron a lot as it is very easy and forgiving. Our last one scorched waffles at the lowest setting as well as welded them to the irons. We brushed a bit of coconut oil on this when first used it and have had no problem at all with sticking. I hope this helps and you enjoy your waffle iron as much as we have ours. I wish we had bought this years ago.

I bought my iron when I came back from Holland last September. After eating fresh stroopwafels in the markets of Amsterdam I couldn't go back to those stale ones on sale here. I bought the iron with 2 x 4" waffles, it works well but had to experiment with batter recipes to find one that cooked without becoming too brittle or oily. I now make the dough, roll it out, let it rest, then cut rounds about 3/4 of the diameter of the finished waffle, then put it on the iron. When you close the lid the batter presses out al around just a bit. Cook them for only a minute, take one off the iron, recut it with your biscuit cutter and use a flat knife to split it right away, then do the same with the second waffle. It really helps to have 2 people working on them. I had fresh, homemade stroopwafles for Sinterklaas 2 years now, love it. Oh, and use cake flour, not bread flour in your batter, makes them less oily and easier to split.

plug it in - turn the dial to the highest setting -this heats the iron and crisps the waffle. Make batter and pour into iron. Do not over fill. Close iron and rotate - do not flip back until finished - about 6 minutes on the first waffle and then about 5 minutes for waffles after that. Hope this helps - the first few are difficult but afar a little practice it is a great iron

Since my son is away I have not used it for a couple of weeks. I will time it next time I use it. I think the other answer is accurate. I make the batter when the waffle iron is warming up. I put oil on the waffle maker and turn it on to setting 2 (3 and 4 were too dark) and then make the batter. It is important to put the correct amount of batter on.

HI,I don't think you can only make one waffle at a time as the dough spreads out evenly inside the waffle the maker....

you can make them at any time. the timer for each waffle begins when you flip the cooking surface.

I find that it takes about a half cup of dry mix to make one full waffle in the large, round waffle iron. The package is on the small size, so there are only about 4 waffles per package the way I make them.
