So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

How To Select Waffle Makers For Everyday Use

By Terry L. Jones

There are many lists out there of the best waffle makers on the market, but the truth is that no one machine is going to be perfect for everyone. Depending your needs and intended use for this appliance, you will come out with a different list of potential "bests." To determine the perfect waffle machine for your home and what you may have to pay for it, consider the following tips and guidelines.

Power is a big issue with any type of kitchen appliance. Usually, lower priced models of an appliance will have lower watts of power, and that means a more limited range of capabilities. These low power models are best suited to small households or consumers who will use them on a more limited or occasional basis.

If you will be using this appliance regularly or want to make larger batches of waffles at one time, then you are likely better off with one that has higher power.

Capacity of the model is another concern. You can find very small models that only make a couple waffles at a time as well as very large professional models that will make large batches at a time. The size of your family or number of people you will often be serving at one time will determine which capacity you need.

Shape: Waffles today come in a variety of shapes. Most makers are either square or circles, but you can purchase a traditional heart shaped model as well. For many people this is not going to matter too much, but if you have a preference make sure to look around in your price range before you make a final purchase.

Price Range: The market carries these machines at a very wide price range. You could walk into virtually any store right now and find a very simple waffle maker for $20 or maybe even less. Or, you can look around online and find them well over $100. For most consumers looking to add this appliance to their home, a model in the $30 to $50 range will be suitable.

As with all things, you get what you pay for. The top of the line professional waffle machine will be last longer and do more things than a lower priced model meant for residential use. While these more expensive models are great, they aren't a good pick for everyone.

You probably don't need the absolute best waffle makers on the market in your kitchen. You just need a high quality model that meets all of your individual answers to the guidelines presented here. Find one that works in your home for your needs, and you will have delicious, golden brown waffles for many years to come.
