On July 26, 1911, history was made. The very first waffle maker was made for the general public to buy and use in their own homes. Since then, countless waffle makers have been sold. Some were sold to restaurateurs, others to collectors and the rest to regular people like you and me who were simply hungry for something delicious for breakfast. In fact, a Belgian waffle maker can be one of the most easy and convenient kitchen appliances that anyone could buy on today’s market.
If you were wondering, Belgian waffles are not from Belgium at all. They are actually from Brussels, but when the waffles were first introduced to Americans at the World Fair, they got the place of origin confused and for some reason it stuck. Some of the world’s most famous restaurants have a Belgium waffle maker in their kitchens just in case there is a special request or served as a dessert. Some street vendors in major cities will even have a Belgian waffle maker or two on hand to sell powdered treats to hungry and paying customers. There are also people who solely collect Belgian waffle makers like stamps or trading cards. And then of course there are people like you and me who simply buy them to eat food from.
