18. Problems Encountered
● Identification of some materials
● Difficulty re-assembling
o Many parts broke when rebuilding
o ex: “Power” and “Ready” light cover broke
● Difficulty with Solid edge waffle maker part

19. Possible Modifications
More-open, longer handle
-More space between hand and waffle iron
Latch with a Vent
- Latch locks waffle iron close, vent releases excess heat
Additional Cooking Instrument
- Detachable utility (i.e. fork or spatula)
Temperature Display
-Indicate Temperature of Waffle Iron
20. Criteria for Matrices
● Safety (.30)- materials are safe for the user
● Cost (.20)- keep the materials at low prices
● Heat Efficiency (.15)- produces enough heat to cook
waffle batter
● Reliability (.15)- produces crisp, cooked waffles
● Portability (.15)- Easy to store and move
● Aesthetics (.05)- looks pleasing for the user
