Fifteen years ago a #7 was too small for us so I got a few #8's, and one #7 with a button hinge. All Griswold of course.
Fast forward to now. Two #8 waffles are too much at our brunch but two #7's are perfect. I do wish that my #7 had a high base, but ...... Got enough, no room for more.
The ugly thing here turned out nice.
