Depends on iron really. Where I live, we have those that actually press the dough, not just enclose it, hence the name IRON.

Where I live we usually put a batter in the waffle iron, doughs usually get shaped and put on a pan (or put into a loaf pan to make bread shaped bread). All that being said, I'm in the southern US, we aren't known for making sense most the time.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Our batter is thicker, so it has to be pressed.

hence the name IRON.

I'm pretty sure waffle irons and clothes irons (and branding irons, and soldering irons) are called "irons" because they were historically just specially-shaped chunks of cast iron.

hence the name IRON.

I struggle to follow your logic there.

Iron presses, or squishes anyway. Although just the name itself is not clear really. In my mind am equating it to iron for ironing clothes, so you press the dough into shape.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Waffle Press woul've made more sense in that case.

[–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Yup. So where I live the two are the same. Our dough is thick and needs to be pressed into shape.
