Okay kiddo, so a waffle iron is a little machine that makes waffles. You know, those yummy breakfast foods that are kind of like pancakes but with squares and lines on them?
So when you want to make waffles, you mix up some batter (which is like a special mixture of flour, eggs, milk, and other yummy stuff) and pour it into the waffle iron. The iron is hot, so it cooks the batter really fast and makes the waffles all crispy and golden brown.
When the waffles are done, you can take them out and put some yummy toppings on them like syrup, berries, or whipped cream. It's really easy and fun to use a waffle iron, and it makes a delicious breakfast that you'll love!
