For this project i used a waffle maker which was one of the few tools we had in our house that i had not used before. The safety concerns are pretty limited as long as you use it properly. But you can get shocked or burnt if you are not careful. When using a waffle maker you should make sure it is preheated your batter is spread evenly and you cool off the waffle maker before putting it away. A waffle maker can’t really be used for anything else besides waffles. I did use a recipe when i made my waffles. I made a mistake when i was making the waffles because i forgot to read through the whole recipe so i would definitely change that next time. But it didn’t make a big change to the recipe when i made the mistake and i easily overcame it. I just made the batter slightly thicker. I’m proud that i could overcome my mistake.
