Now there's a frozen waffle recall

last year

What the heck? Frozen waffles sold at Walmart and other stores recalled over listeria (msn.com)

I hadn't eaten frozen waffles in many years. I think, since I had kids in the house. Last year I had a craving so I bought a box of Eggo Waffles. They were so bad. I didn't eat any more after the first one and finally threw them out this summer sometime.

I now own one of those mini waffle makers, not that I use it very often.

Oh, jeepers! We have a half-dozen or so from a box in the freezer. But, we didn’t get sick from the first half-dozen.

BP, My mother subscribes me to Canadian Gardening every year for Christmas, and from what I recall, we do get an issue in Jan/Feb. Unfortunately it take me all of 1/2 hour to get from one cover to another. I read too fast. We've had a couple of good white frosts, but no sign of snow yet. Need to get the garden ornaments in today, but other than that, the gardens should be fine for the winter. Do need to get organized a bit for some Winter Sowing. I have most of my seeds, but need to clean out last year's containers and get some dirt. Oh, can you recommend something? What can I add to the potting soil to make the condition of it a bit dryer? With our damp and wet springs, I find some of my winter sown seeds just turn to mold... Sand perhaps? This happens a lot to the hollyhock seeds. Today I'll be smashing over 25 pumpkins for the compost. The winter compost has already heated up and hopefully I'll be able to feed it all winter and keep it hot like last year! The compost is what gets me outside during the winter - I feed it 300 lbs of wet coffee grounds every week, and by spring, there's a nice pile waiting for me.

Bobbie : If you can take a picture, it would help. Top and bottom. Or check the Model # I'll take a look at mine, to see if it comes apart easily. If it is the same as mine ( Toastmaster Model 252A ), Don't throw it away. Mine looks like it should go in the trash, but it bakes better that any other I had before. You might be able to use an angle bracket and put a screw into the rivet hole , But not too far in, to where you would hit any wires. Cut the metal bracket leg off to the same height, as the other legs and put a rubber boot on the bottom. You could also use a piece of 3/4 IN. copper tubing. Flatten one end and bend it 90 deg. Drill a hole to put a screw thru,into the bottom of the waffle iron. Cut the copper to the same height as the other legs. Put a rubber boot on it, or stuff a cork in it, so it won't scratch. It should only take 5 minutes to make the leg. Let me know how it turns out. Maryanne: Good thing I didn't see the one in Hazelton first. Why didn't you put a plug on the old one ? You woman like to throw things away. Your Dog likes Waffles ???????????????? No Kidding !!! Now I know why you threw the other Waffle Iron away. Wheeee eeooooooooooooo !!! LOU

Waffle-Maker?
Q

Yeah, I can't say enough wonderful things about our KitchenAid waffle maker! I don't think you can get it any more in the "Nickel Pearl" color like we have (shown above), but you should be able to find it in the "Black Onyx" color: Overstock.com has it for $187.99 (and they only charge $2.95 shipping!). The waffles that it makes are 7.5" in diameter, and 1.25" thick. The thing heats up quickly (there's a temperature gauge on the top that shows the progress), and it takes 3.5 minutes to cook a waffle. When we make them, once the "top" is filled, I press the start button and then flip the thing over. Hubs fills the second side and I watch to see how many seconds it takes before the lid comes down. Once the 3.5 minutes are done (you see the timer count it down), we take the first waffle out, and the timer automatically starts counting UP (how long past the "done" time), and when the correct number of seconds has passed we open the second "chamber" to take out the second waffle. If you want to continue making waffles, just press the Reset button and the timer will go back to 3.5 minutes. When you've got the batter in, press the Start button, etc., etc. And, another key to making great waffles is the mix you use. We always use this: You can find it more easily than you'd think and you can also order it from places like ChefsCatalog.com. It's also sold under the Stonewall brand. You have to add a bit of melted butter, an egg or two, and some milk, but man-oh-man the waffles are good! Hubs likes blueberry waffles, so we just mix in some fresh (sometimes frozen/thawed) blueberries. Yum!

Does anyone like waffles?

Occasional waffles are fine but I don't get excited about them. I have never cared for what's called Belgian waffles around here. A standard waffle maker and a good batter, usually pop some crumbled bacon into it and a good fruit syrup on them are a tasty treat occasionally. The first time I ever heard of chicken and waffles was on Duckman decades ago and made me roar in laughter. Thought, they couldn't be serious. But I guess. I've had chicken and waffles during the same meal before but never eaten together. For me, they don't go together. Call me "un-nice" if you wish but that's my opinion and I'll stick with it.

Thanks for the tip. My FIL eats some sort of waffles, and a 86 year old man doesn't need food poisoning!

Uh Oh. I have a package of eggos in my freezer purchased at Walmart, I'd better read the recall. They had none of the Belgian style that DH likes once in a while in stock that day so they are just the regular buttermilk waffles. I buy food at Walmart about two times a year!

All I'd ever used was my grandmothers vintage waffle maker, I've never had a contemporary model. It was Silex before that company became Proctor Silex and made the best waffles. No oiling ever required and every single waffle released perfectly just by wiping it clean between uses. The heating element went out in one of the 4 quadrants finally and I had to quit using it. After about 40+ years and I don't know how long she had had it, we lost her in the '70s. 😊 (we aren't breakfast eaters but will very occasionally have them for dinner)

Off to read the recall.....And, thank you for pointing it out, I hadn't seen it.

ETA Oh, Whew. Mine are Eggos brand by Kellogg. But now I still don't trust them. Box is unopened, I may not keep it.

I like Eggos so I am glad they are not on the list. I find that other brands never taste as good as Eggos and certainly not as good as home made. I don't have them often but they are good to have in the freezer when regular food gets low.

Another reason I rarely buy processed foods but cook from scratch.

Even from scratch gets the recalls. Remember all the lettuce, cantaloupe, peppers, watermelon, etc. a few years ago? Not to mention, eggs, chicken, and hamburger!

I have a ceramic waffle iron I never had any problems with it, and it never sticks. Buy one make the waffles and freeze them.
