After I posted about my new/vintage waffle iron, I had a little email exchange with Michael Sheafe, he who is Toaster Central. Turns out (he deduced this, not I) that they sent me, mistakenly, the teflon-coated version of my waffle iron. He suggested that they send me the non-teflon version, and that I conduct comparative waffling experiments. The idea is that I am going to try several recipes on both of these otherwise identical models, see which I prefer, and report on the results here. (I then return the less favored waffle iron.) This struck me as an excellent and entertaining plan. So, we're on.
The second waffle iron arrived today, and I am all ready to go-except that I am loaded up with less festive duties in the near future. (In fact, I have not yet had time to open the parcel. Yet, I find time to visit you here. See how I tend to you?) So, it will be a little while. But I think we're gonna have some fun. By the way, I understand from M.S. that it has been discovered that teflon is seriously Bad For Birds. So, if you have a pet bird, you need to ditch those nonstick pans. I'm just sayin'.

what a nice happy accident! that's so cool.
oh, and my mom has a bird & it's never been bothered/hurt by nearby cooking on teflon. he's still as annoying as ever.
