Abstract: A multiple baker for confectionery items such as waffles and pancakes having multiple baking irons vertically mounted between vertical heating partitions of a base and pivotally hinged to the base for rotation in a vertical plane, between a baking position and an offset position. Each baking iron has separatable shell members for receiving the food items and a flanged mouth positioned atop each baking iron when in the baking position. The position of the flange mouth allows steam to escape vertically during the baking process and distance the user from the steam.

Abstract: A baker for food items such as ice cream cones or the like. The baker includes a mold and a core positioned on a stationary frame. The mold and core closely approximate the shape of the food item and include heating elements to cook batter poured into the mold cavity to form the food item.

Abstract: A two cavity baker for confectionery items such as waffles and pancakes having a pair of outer shell members hinge-connected to a double faced single inner shell member. The two outer shell members and the inner shell member are mutually hinged together at one side of the baker with the two outer shell members each including a handle protruding from the opposite side of the baker. The three shell members are supported upon a base adjacent the handle and hinged sides of the baker which enables to two outer shell members to be reversed with respect to their upper and lower positions upon pivotal movement about a generally horizontal axis. The pivot connection of the shell members to the base accommodates biaxial rotational movement of the shell members so as to enable the shell members to assume a vertical orientation relative to the base to enable the outer shell members to be opened relative to the inner shell member.
