For Barbara Schmitt who is looking for a quick new waffle iron:
I am in the same boat as my favorite died last week. In my new Chef's
Catalog that arrived yesterday (www.chefscatalog.com) there is one that
greatly interests me for the same reasons you cite. It is a Chef's Choice
Wafflepro, item no 1700, $69.99. Says it heats up in 3.5 minutes & bakes
in 90 seconds, has beeper/light, etc & stores upright to save space. I
have used this company before (just bought my new KA 525 watt, 6 qt mixer
from them) & my experiences have been good.
