Exactly the same as one of ours - except ours is black

I'd never heard of a "jaffle" before, so I Googled it. I see it on some US retail sites such as Amazon.com. I'm familiar with them, but never used one. Never knew what we called them here either! This is apparently what they called a "pie iron." They come in round or square.

So is this what a jaffle looks like?




Got any tips on how they're used? This sounds like another cool thing to get the Scout Troop turned on to!

This isn’t a jaffle iron, though in New Zealand we called them Quicksies. A jaffle iron is patterned with circles and it seals the bread all the way round, making for a nice crunchy edge. I’d love one but I don’t think they would cook well on a glass electric hob. This gadget would though because it is flat. The only electric one that made anything like a proper quicksy was the Sunbeam deep dish sandwich maker. I hate the things out now. I don’t want my sandwich squashed in the middle by the gadget.
