ABSTRACT:
A waffle making assembly for the creation of a plurality of bite-sized waffles, wherein said bite-sized waffles have the necessary dimensional qualities to enable the consumption thereof without having been previously severed into multiple pieces. The waffle making assembly comprises an upper and lower plate, each having an inner surface with a cavity formed therein such that the cavities form a chamber for the creation of a waffle matrix when the inner surfaces of each plate lie adjacent each other. Easy separation of individual bite-sized waffles from the waffle matrix is enabled by tear portions formed in the upper and lower surfaces of the waffle matrix. The tear portions are formed in the waffle matrix during the cooking operation by a plurality of partitioning flanges defined by lattices in the upper and lower cavities, which sub-divides the cavity into a plurality of smaller sub-cavities. Means are disclosed that enable the creation of contiguously alignable bite-sized waffles having triangular, rectangular, hexagonal, or the like type outer peripheral shapes as well as non-contiguously alignable bite-sized waffles such as those having a circular, or oval type outer peripheral shape.
