Commercial Waffle Makers

Which Waffle Shape Should You Choose?

Waffle shape affects presentation, portion size and how the finished product works with your menu. It is worth deciding what you intend to serve before comparing machine specifications.

• Square waffles: A practical format for plated desserts, breakfast dishes and takeaway portions. Their straight edges also make them straightforward to cut into smaller servings.
• Other waffle shapes: Different mould designs can produce distinctive portions and presentations. Check the actual cooking plate dimensions and finished waffle shape rather than relying on the machine's overall dimensions.

The waffle shape does not determine whether the finished waffle will be crisp or soft. That depends on the batter, cooking temperature, cooking time and handling after cooking.

What Should You Look for in a Professional Waffle Maker?

A commercial waffle machine needs to suit your service requirements as well as your available kitchen space and electrical supply. Compare the following before ordering.

• Cooking capacity: Check how many complete waffles can be made in one cooking cycle. The number of mould sections does not always equal the number of individual portions.
• Temperature control: Adjustable heat can help you achieve consistent browning when working with different batters and recipes.
• Electrical requirements: Check the machine's rated power, plug type and supply requirements. Do not assume every countertop waffle maker can operate from a standard 13A socket.
• Counter space: Allow enough room for the machine itself, lid operation, ventilation and safe handling of hot waffles.
• Cooking surface: Check the plate material, coating and recommended cleaning methods before purchasing.

How Much Does a Commercial Waffle Maker Cost to Run?

Electricity costs depend on the machine's rated power, your electricity tariff and how long its heating elements operate.

To estimate the maximum hourly electricity cost at full rated power, multiply the machine's power in kilowatts by your electricity price per kWh.

How Many Waffles Can a Commercial Waffle Maker Produce Per Hour?

Hourly output depends on how many waffles fit in the machine and how long each cooking cycle takes.

For example, a machine producing two waffles every four minutes could theoretically make 30 waffles per hour. A machine producing four waffles in the same time could theoretically make 60 per hour.

These figures exclude time for pouring batter, removing waffles, adding toppings and serving customers. Actual production also depends on the recipe, preheating and operator workflow.
