Liege Waffle Iron

The Liege waffle iron is a type of waffle iron that is specifically designed to produce an adaptation of Belgian waffles that are much more rich and dense that those created by other types of waffle irons. The Liege waffle iron appears to have been invented during the 18th by a chef employed by the prince-bishop of Liege, a city lying in eastern Belgium. The chef was allegedly experimenting with an alternate recipe for brioche bread dough.

Liege waffles, also known as gaufres de Liege, are made with a delicious combination of waffle dough with pearl sugar that caramelizes on the outside of the waffle as it is being cooked. Today, Liege waffles are extremely popular in Belgium where they are sold be street vendors covered in vanilla or cinnamon. Liege waffles can be easily differentiated by traditional Brussels waffles by their general shape. Brussels waffles have rectangular shapes and a lighter crisp while Liege waffles are broader and much thicker with round corners.

When it comes to cooking Liege waffles in a commercial setting, the pros know that the waffle makers made by Equipex are hands down the best in the business. The most basic Equipex waffle makers can easily cost over $500 with models designed for higher volumes commanding as much as $1500. Equipex waffle makers come with replaceable waffle molds that let professional chefs switch back and forth between cooking Liege and Brussels waffles throughout their shift. These cast iron waffle irons are designed to be used in hotels and restaurants that serve a large volume of customers for breakfast or brunch on a daily basis (buy Equipex Waffle Baker).

Although it is certainly possible to prepare Liege waffles at home by using the right type of waffle iron, it is important to take the time to find a waffle maker that is specifically designed for cooking Liege waffles. Most of the waffle irons that are on the market in the West are designed to cook Brussels waffles and may not be able to cook the thicker dough used in Leige waffle recipes correctly. One of the best manufacturers of Liege waffle irons that are appropriate for home use is Frifri. Frifri is an appliance manufacturer located in Belgium that produces waffle makers that have replacable plate for different types of waffles, including Liege waffles. While Frifri waffle irons have the highest reviews, other waffle makers made by Petra, Tristar, Severin and Cuisinart can be set up to cook Liege waffles (Buy Cuisinart Waffle Makers).
