And while we're at it, what's your opinion of pancakes and French toast?

They're pretty good, but the problem I always have with waffles is that the moisture on the underside of a waffle builds up/condenses onto the plate, which creates sogginess. I always prefer my waffles to be very crisp, so this sogginess undermines that and introduces that awkward "crunchy but also ew soft" factor that screws up later waffle sections. I can fix this a little by putting a paper towel under them on the plate, but this feels wasteful and sometimes draws confusion from friends or family who don't seem to care about this issue.

By this merit, I usually find pancakes preferable since they completely cover the plate under them, leaving no air for moisture to condense from, and they're porous enough to just absorb any such moisture without a meaningful change in consistency anyway.

Anybody else experience this? Got tips for waffle technique?
