The ghost of the person who originally made this waffle iron is probably very pleased to learn about all of the cool new upgrades to the small parts. Heat-shrink wire protectors, special coating for the washers, they are probably bragging to their friends in the afterlife that something that they made is still relevant and usable. This makes me happy.

Nichrome wire comes in different gauges and resistances per foot (meter). You can work out the maths for any supply voltage and using a very simple Ohm's law calculation you can figure out the wattage you are shooting for (to get a certain temperature). Then you measure out the uncoiled nichrome wire, choose a different mandrel dimension (the rod you wound the wire around) and twist until you get the desired length. Grounding the shell of the iron is not a bad idea. The way it is, any sort of abrasion of the heating element on the fiberglass would put the case at mains potential (very dangerous).

Unless you have a 110V outside supply, grounding would be of no use. Here in the UK you would need a 230-110 volt transformer to power the cooker, which would have its own ground for the 230V side. The 110V wire and an eath connection would not conduct any current. 110V is far less dangerous than 230V anyway, and would be unlikely to cause serious injury or death

I agree that by todays standards it's required to have an earth connection to the metal, so that it trips the fuse immediately if for some reason the exposed mains wiring in these heating elements or anything else makes contact to the metal. Not unreasonable that grease or dough finds a way inside and make a connection. I guess if you use a safety transformer and just restore it as a showpiece that only got used once for the video, it's fine to leave it as it is.

@@lloydpenfold486 I’m not talking about circuit ground. Ground as in protective earth (PE). Even with a transformer the aluminium “case” needs to be grounded (PE) to avoid electric chock if the live wire gets damaged, be it 110V or 230V. The fuse won’t trigger if there ain’t no short circuit. If you touch the sink or anything grounded you will get toasted unless you have a ELCB in your system.

I can't believe you didn't season the waffle plates. It's so easy to do, you just take some cooking oil, wipe it on, bake the plate for a few minutes, repeat a few times until the surface turns a little black/bronze and you are done. It adds a little flavor but it mostly protects the surface and prevents sticking. It doesn't have to be vegetable oil either you can season with butter.
