Ok, so who knows fuck-all about Belgian waffle-makers? Our ultra cheapie never gets them crisp enough. I suppose I could Google, but maybe there is a nerd on here that knows some things.
Water in TX tastes like shit. It's clearly downstream. Study until everybody wakes up, then stuff, then sister's family gets here. 8am with a current temp of 80*; feels like 87*. This place is broken.
Speaking of broken, my Dad keeps talking about things wrong with the state and making excuses for why they're good. Like, before I can identify and things and ask questions about them. The lady doth complain too much.

i don't know much, but i know using butter (instead of a cooking spray) is what works best to make ours crispy
This is a good suggestion.
We got the waring pro model years ago.

Sam's Sourdough Waffles
This sourdough waffle recipe is easy to make and produces delicious waffles that are golden and crispy on the outside and super fluffy inside!
= Waffle bliss.
Crispness could be heat related, but moar fat makes moar crispy too
So I've been adding whipping cream (and a bit of water) in lieu of milk or plain water.
And sometimes use butter and coconut oil mix to funk things up a bit...
Also - extra whipped egg whites in the batter should help...

New information has come to light. Turns out that my wife (who has also taught kiddo) hasn’t been using any butter or oil in the batter, just pancake mix, water, and an egg. Just a light spray of Pam on the cooking surfaces. 90% of the time I have a waffle, they have prepared it.
I feel betrayed.
”things are gonna change around here, I can feel it”

If there are no whipped egg whites, it's not a Belgian waffle. And "pancake mix"??
GTFO with that shit.

Exactly. You can imagine the existential morass I am feeling right now.
I cook almost everything in our house, I figured I could let her handle this.
That being said, she certainly doesn’t let me do the taxes!

We have a VIllaware Uno Belgian waffle maker:
Recipe I use for Belgian waffles:
I'll add an extra 3-5 egg whites, 'cause I have lots of extras, and that helps lighten them even more than "regular" and they are almost always nice and crispy out of the iron.

I knew you guys would deliver.
Recently got one of these and after 1 use, I'm sold on it for pancakes. No more mess.
Are they blue waffles?
I might smash my computer and desk or I might just say fuck it and leave for the day. Will probably do the later. Too early to be this angry already.

Lol, what ? I make a standing batter that has to be shaped into a pancake. Super thick, like 3/4” thick.

Oh geez, okay then, the product I use won't work one bit then.
It's great for a more liquid mix. No bowls, measuring cups, or spoons. Just dump it all in the bottle, shake, and squirt out a perfect portion into the pan. Cleanup is easy breezy.
Ugh, one more day of wrrrk, then a trip to VT. Also, just got scheduled 8 interviews for an internal transfer in the company. I mean, really? 
Those look more like fritters. NTTAWWT.
Shitty iPhone pic makes them look smaller in diameter. They’re about 5-6”.Those look more like fritters. NTTAWWT.
The word of the day is FTS.
Why listen to me, a man with nearly 2 decades of sheet metal design and fabrication experience, who wants to make something cheap and simple to accomplish a task when we could instead make somebody else's rube goldberg device and pray to zeus tolerence stacking is no longer a thing? But, but, but, his design is more easily 3d-printed, which coincidentally is not how we're going to make a die at all. Good times.
Also, controversial opinion, waffles suck.

I am actively working on not giving a fuck about work stuff like this. My pay is not tied to profit or year end financials. I make suggestions or present solutions. If people ignore me and do stupid shit, that’s their problem. Even if I have to fix their stupidity, that’s fine. I am fixing their fuck up not mine.
I have promised the wife and myself not to take work so personally. Dying from a heart attack or aneurysm bc some bureaucratic clown “found millions” of savings in his Excel spreadsheet? Nope.
Cheap waffle makers never do! I threw ours out and bought a Waring pro. Well worth the investment if you like waffles.
Also, what are you using for mix? Batter should be thin…waffle iron hot and use vegetable oil instead of butter in the batter. If you’re making your own, cornstarch with all purpose flour will make them crispy.
LOVE our Waring Pro!

Liquid fat (melted butter works too lol)I was with you until you suggested oil instead of butter.
