I don’t know what I would do… honestly, I think I would give a compromised waffle iron away.

Mini waffles are good for making sandwiches and mini pizzas since they are the exact size for breakfast McMuffins, cold-cuts, and burgers and have shallow divots.

I bought a single and then a second single.

All my Dash stuff is excellent and good as new after years of heavy use.
