  Maybe some of you are wondering about what happened to Alice's adventures in 
waffle land?  Well, I ended up purchasing a Nordic Ware stovetop waffle iron.  
This is a non-electric iron that goes right on top of the stove. It was 
recommended to me by the owner of http://www.concordshop.com/whoweare.html.  It 
is exactly like the one my family used to use in the 1980s, but it does not have 
a built-in thermometer.  We didn't miss the thermometer.  The product is still 
the best waffle iron ever.

You can read about the NordicWare waffle iron here, including the fact that you 
can make waffles in a hurricane using this waffle iron -

I used the Pamela's baking mix, substituted buttermilk for water, oiled the iron 
according to package directions using peanut oil, and doubled the amount of oil 
in the recipe, so instead of using 2 tablespoons I used 4.  This is consistent 
with other waffle recipes which generally have more oil than pancakes.  Trial 
and error taught me that med-low is the correct setting on my gas stove, but the 
temperature would have to be adjusted on any stove. Anyway, presto - out comes 
the waffle without leaving a trace behind.

The most important thing about this waffle iron is that, because it is not 
electric, it is completely submersible - that's right, you can dump the whole 
thing right in the sink full of soapy water.  So, before I had hit on the 
correct temperature, and before I had made the adjustment to peanut oil and 
added additional oil in the batter, I was able to soak and completely clean out 
a failed experiment with no damage to the iron.

Problem solved!
