I'm not a fan of single-use kitchen items, but the prices were right. I should have just bought them and told her I found them in a box in the basement
. Even with the waffle iron, I'd probably be more likely to press hash browns in there than waffle batter...that's tucked way back in my mind from some cooking show I saw years ago.
You can use maple syrup on more than just pancakes and waffles.
You can put them on the hash browns as well or as a substitute for honey on pizza.
As a glaze on fish or pork or beef actually... (although you might want to thicken it even more first).
As for kitchen items, depending on the stove you have, I'd probably get one of those cast iron grill plates and maybe one of those iron press things that they put on hamburger patties....might take up a bit more space but much more useful than a panini press.
