Looks like a lot more work than an electric waffle maker for very little room saved.

For anyone looking to get a waffle maker now, I'd recommend picking up a Panini Press that has detachable plates. We've got this one:Amazon.com: Cuisinart GR-4N 5-in-1 Griddler: Electric Contact Grills: Kitchen Diningand also purchased the waffle plates that attach to it. The thing really ups your sandwich game, takes about the same counter space as your waffle maker would and makes some great waffles to boot. The only downside compared to buying a standalone waffle maker is you have to time the waffles yourself and know when they're done. There's no light that goes off when they're done like in a regular waffle maker. But you can usually tell when they're done pretty easily by when the steam from the waffles stops coming out.

I have that same exact Cuisinart. I didn't know there were waffle plates for it! Score.

I have this villaware waffle iron as recommended by AB. He said to avoid the double waffle makers because they have to be underpowered since two good waffle irons would flip a residential breaker if used at the same time.

They may have stopped making these things because the only people selling them on amazon are asking for $179 and $400 respectively and I'm pretty sure mine was only $50.

The top has the same pattern. You close it and the waffle batter rises as it cooks into it.

No, there are some that have 3 elements that flip over so you can cook two waffles at once.

Well you said you were dumb, so I assumed you really were. I assume it has an element on top and bottom.

Oh, I'm plenty dumb. But BTM mentioned that AB said that two good elements would blow a breaker, so I was just wondering if the one he bought just had a single element in one side of the waffle maker.

I've only had the one dose of caffeine, I'm still groggy.

Good chicken parm recipe? There are a shitload of them around the internet, but I'm trying to impress a lady so I want something that's above and beyond. If it leads to sex you get a +net.

Crush up a few roofies in the sauce. The rest won't matter. I'll be waiting for my +net.

Pound the chicken out flat, use a large skillet, and put the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap/wax paper.

Bread the chicken with panko crumbs, parmesan (powdered can shit) and herbs/garlic. Oregano and basil work well. Don't go overboard with the oregano.

Fry the chicken over a medium high heat, the chicken is thin, so turn it after it browns, don't overcook.

Buy a good canned sauce (Newman's) and heat with one can of petite diced tomatoes. It'll seem homecooked. Add any herbs you feel are necessary.

Buy Barilla pasta. It's hard to fuck up and tastes great. Test pasta after 8-9 minutes, decide if you need to boil longer for your tastes.

Add the pasta to your 'homemade' sauce, top with chicken you've already browned, then top with a GOOD parmesan reggiano that you've shredded. It's expensive, but you don't need much because it's very flavorful.

Be sure to remove the plastic wrap/wax paper before frying. It makes the texture a little off.

I'm a huge fan of non-breaded chicken parm.

Garlic-oliveoil-lemmon pepper grilled chicken breast with a carrot-onion-celery basil roasted tomato marinara sauce. (Roast the veggies then blend together with basil)

Angel Hair pasta is the best with this imo, for that light feel. It's super easy to fuck-up though. Add a bit of olive oil to the water bring to a boil, drop the pasta in the pot, as soon as it turns soft pull it and cold water rinse. (Techniques vary here, but the cold water rinse will keep it from sticking)

Chicken parms are about baking mozerella and parm ontop in the oven, so pop your grilled chicken in a casserole dish with the marinara sauce and top it with a decent moz and shave some parm on it.

This is all assuming that your chica will be watching you cook all this stuff.

Make sure to serve a glass of wine and maybe some cheese/bruschetta while you cook to keep her entertained.
