But I kept missing the squares, and getting batter everywhere but. I see the advantage of a cookie sheet, but if I'm wearing a mit, how do I feel where the batter goes with no sight? Sharon

A hot iron is important so you sear the outside, it's like putting a cake in a cold oven then trying to heat it up through the preheat cycle. And there really isn't much need to do so either -- take a waffle iron and place it on a large cookie sheet with edges, then use a measuring cup to pour batter on the iron with your other hand in an oven mitt so you can keep positionality and not burn yourself and you should be fine. And of course remember the watchword for all blind cooking -- patience. Getting in a hurry is the easiest way to get burned, cut, or other not fun things. > -----Original Message----- > From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Sharon > Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 5:17 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [CnD] Waffle Irons > > Anyone ever tried to fill it cold? > Sharon > > -----Original Message----- > From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Jeri Milton > Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2013 6:13 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [CnD] Waffle Irons > > Funny because I was just talking about this very thing with my husband > and my mom.
