put finger to keyboard and composed:

Just occurred to me... Stick a 15A, 300V rectifier in series with the waffle

That would still result in twice the rated power consumption.


But much faster waffles! g (IMHO the best idea was if there were two
elements (each half) in parallel, just series 'em!)
