How do you eat your Waffles?

How do you eat your Waffles?

By Harry Wilson

Usually turn the oven on, put some on a tray and cook for about 20 mins. That’s what I do, however, according to a story in the Daily Star, Birds Eye have said that you can ‘Toast’ them!

Birds Eye have spent more than 103 hours testing 3,000 waffles to see if it was safer and easier to cook potato waffles in a toaster. 

Steve Challouma, Marketing Director at Birds Eye, said:

‘We know there has been a lot of confusion and debate on this way of cooking our Original Potato Waffles so we decided to put it to the test.”

“After days of rigorous ‘toasting’, we’re happy to confirm it is safe to cook our waffles this way and it doesn’t compromise on taste either.”

“You can still expect the same delicious taste that is crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle!”

“We will say, however, that it is the law – if you’re eating your waffles with peas – to put the veggies in the middle of each hole and eat them like that. We don’t make the rules.”

Birds Eye recommend that you take the waffles out of the freezer, put them in the toaster and cook on a medium to high setting. Once they pop, put them back in or turn (depending on how they’d cooked) and cook again to till they’re golden brown. 

According to Birds Eye, waffles are tastiest when grilled straight from the freezer, and you cook until crisp and golden. They use real potatoes, which vary throughout the year, and this can affect the time taken to become crisp and golden.  Potato Waffles can also be barbequed.

Have you ever cooked yours in a Toaster or on the BBQ? Let us know if you have and what you have with them.
