I understand that Stephanie Louise. However, the recipe was not titled "How to Make Waffles Without a Waffle Iron", it says "Without an Iron". This is why I am frustrated when I go on to read that "an Iron" is exactly what I need. Now I'm not stupid; I know that when the title said it didn't require an iron, it specifically meant a waffle iron. I never questioned if it meant a clothes iron, or any other type. The bottom line though is that a sandwich iron and a waffle iron are essentially the exact same thing. The only difference is the mold you pour your batter in to. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's a pretty fair assumption that if someone doesn't own a waffle iron, the odds are they probably don't own a sandwich iron. And if they did, I would give most people the benefit of the doubt that they may have thought of this brilliant alternative on their own. My real frustration is that I did a google search for exactly what the title of this article suggests with practically no hope I would actually find what I was looking for. I wish google would have just given me a simple "No, Greg. You can't make waffles without a waffle iron. I understand that waffles are what you crave, but it's just not feasible. We're sorry." But instead I was provided with a link to this article, lifting my hopes that perhaps ironless waffles could be within my grasps, only to have my heart broken at step 3... This article was a waste of time. Its more misleading than it is helpful, and when taking into account how search engines and keywords work, there's little chance of it ever reaching it's target audience. If the author really felt the need publish this useless garbage online, they could have at least done it under the title "How to make Waffles with a Sandwich Iron".
