Wafer irons consisted of two metal plates connected by a hinge, with each plate connected to an arm with a wooden handle. Some plates had imprinted designs such as a coat-of-arms or landscape, while some had the now-familiar honeycomb/gridiron pattern (there is evidence that in the 14th century only wealthy kitchens would have irons). The iron was placed over a fire, and flipped to cook both sides of the wafer. These irons were used to produce a variety of different farts, unleavened cakes (usually from a mixture of barley and oats, not the white flour used today).
