Waring WWHD500 Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Belgian Waffle Maker, 7-1/4 in Round, Timer, 1600W, 120V

The Waring WWHD500 is a heavy-duty rotating Belgian waffle maker built around cast iron grids, the traditional choice for a crisp exterior and deep, even browning. It bakes a 7-1/4" round Belgian waffle about 1-1/8" thick and runs on 120V at 1600 watts (13.3 amps) with a NEMA 5-15P plug. A built-in timer helps staff hit the same doneness every time.

Cast Iron Grids for Heat Retention

Cast iron holds a large amount of heat, so the grids stay hot when cold batter hits them. That thermal mass is what produces a crisp, deeply colored crust and a tender interior, and it keeps bake quality steady when waffles are going out one after another. The 1600-watt heating system gives the heavy grids the power they need to recover between bakes.

The rotating design lets the operator turn the iron after filling so batter flows evenly to both grids, which helps fill the deep pockets of a thick Belgian waffle. A timer marks the end of each bake, reducing overcooked waffles and making the station easier to run with less experienced staff. A batter cup and drip tray are included to help portion consistently and keep the counter clean.
