Vintage Waffle Makers Reinvented



These vintage waffle irons will prove to you how long waffles have been enjoyed by people since ancient times even before non stick coating and thermostats were invented.

General Electric Best Value Waffle Iron

Since 1920’s and the invention of the first ever electric waffle iron, General Electric has continued to produce waffle irons with stylish designs and innovative features but is now considered vintage today. This vintage waffle iron is one of General Electric’s pride sold during the 1930’s to 1940’s, which is made with stylish design and textolite handles. Unlike modern waffle irons, it doesn’t come with non-stick surface and thermostat just and it’s also non automatic. But despite these outdated features, it self-regulate,s not overheating as long as it has batteries. It produces well-cooked, thick, 6 ½ inches wide waffles.

General Electric “Diana” Waffle Iron

Another restored waffle iron is the very popular 1939 Diana model, which was one of the great Art Deco Appliances invented in America. This waffle iron was a favorite wedding present to newly-wed couples which could last a lifetime of service. One of the main features of this waffle iron which is absent in new models is its capacity to perform efficiently for everyday waffle making. It comes with cozy ivory textolite handles and an accurate temperature controller equipped to make any type of waffles you desire. Whether you want light brown chewy waffles today and then dark and crispier waffles tomorrow, you definitely can make it with ease and comfort. Just like the previous model, Diana waffle iron yields a 6 1/2 inch wide waffle but thicker than the typical one.

Royal Rochester Waffle Iron

Nothing seems so vintage and elegant than this waffle iron made way back in the 1920’s. Polished with nickel, this non-automatic waffle iron also comes with two identical side handles and one major wood, ebony-colored lid handle in between. The base sits on a creatively pierced wide platform. Internally, very efficient patented Calrod heating materials make up its machine which would bake a thick 7-inch diameter waffle. This vintage waffle iron has been restored and qualified today as a commercial grade appliance.
