Your Waffle Maker Can Be Used For More Than Just Waffles

Is your waffle maker collecting dust with the rest of your kitchen tools? Do you only ever take out your waffle maker when you want to make waffles? You don't have to do that anymore — your waffle maker can be used for more than just the delightful breakfast treat.

Make paninis with your waffle maker, as well as potato cakes and even bacon. Here are three amazing ways that you can utilize your waffle iron:

Bacon

Yes, you can cook bacon in a waffle maker. Add your bacon slices into the maker, close the lid, and check on it every two minutes until the bacon is cooked to your desired doneness.

Brownies or Cake

You can make dessert in your waffle maker, as well. Mix together brownie or cake batter as you normally would and add one ladle to your waffle maker. Cook as waffle maker suggests and you now have a brownie waffle or cake waffle.

Potato Waffles

Take out your waffle maker and make potato cakes for breakfast. This recipe calls for leftover mashed potatoes, green onions, and cheese to create delicious and crunchy potato patties.
