Waring Commercial Single Waffle Cone Maker

The Waring Commercial Single Waffle Cone Maker is a countertop unit designed for producing freshly made waffle cones in ice cream parlours, dessert bars, cafés, and event catering operations. It produces cones to order using a heated aluminium plate set and a included rolling and forming tool to shape each cone while it is still warm and pliable.

In service, the unit is straightforward to operate: an electronic keypad controls the process, and a bake-time control knob lets the operator dial in the right texture for their particular mix. At a sustained output of 53 cones per hour, it is well suited to moderate-demand service — enough to support a steady queue at a kiosk or a busy dessert station, though sites with very high peak demand may find a twin-plate or higher-volume unit a more practical fit.

The triple-coated non-stick plates are worth noting from an operational standpoint. They make cone release reliable and consistent, and they simplify cleaning between sessions — both important considerations when the unit needs to turn around quickly during service.

• Non-stick plates reduce cone damage and speed up between-batch cleaning
• Bake-time control allows adjustment for different batter mixes and sugar levels
• Forming tool included — no additional equipment needed to shape cones
• Compact footprint suits kiosk counters and tight dessert station setups
• Electronic keypad keeps operation simple for front-of-house or junior staff

One practical point on batter: if cones are sticking despite the non-stick coating, the cause is usually the mix rather than the machine. High-sugar batters can caramelise quickly on the plate surface, so a slightly lower temperature setting often resolves it. A light application of spray oil can also help with release if you are switching between different mixes.

The unit runs from a standard 13A socket, so there are no special electrical requirements. It is a light piece of equipment and will sit comfortably on most counters without additional support. Bear in mind that cone-making requires the operator to be present throughout the bake — this is a hands-on process rather than a set-and-leave one, which is worth factoring into your workflow planning.

If you are weighing this up against your expected cone volumes or want to talk through whether a single or twin-plate unit makes more sense for your service style, the team is happy to help you think it through before you order.
