question: How does a waffle maker know the waffle is ready?
comment: There is a temperature sensor built into the metal of the waffle iron. When there's wet batter in contact with the waffle mold, the temperature stays at around the boiling point of water. But once the waffle's surface dries out and gets crispy, the temperature rises suddenly, which the temperature sensor detects.
passages: Each Waffle House location is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This schedule has inspired the urban myth that "Waffle House doors have no locks."

   The servers use a proprietary version of diner lingo to call in orders, and the menu suggests some use of the same lingo when placing orders for hash brown potatoes: "scattered" (spread on the grill), "smothered" (with onions), "covered" (with cheese), "chunked" (with diced ham), "diced" (with diced tomatoes), "peppered" (with jalapeño peppers), "capped" (with mushrooms), "topped" (with chili), and "all the way" (with all available toppings). The option of "country" was added for hash browns with sausage gravy on them. Additionally, the company has a symbolic code by which grill operators are told the specific orders that go on each customer's plate; a 2017 "ESPN.com" story gave the following overview of this code:
   CASC:. One circuit will consist of 8 individual stations of 7 minutes with a preceding 1 minute ‘preparation’ time. The other circuit will consist of 4 pairs of linked stations. Here the stations each last 10 minutes with an additional 2 minutes of 'preparation' time.

   Using accoutrements such as jelly packets, mayonnaise packets, pickles, cheese and hash brown pieces, grill operators are told what orders go on which plates. A jelly packet at the bottom of the plate signifies scrambled eggs. Raisin toast is signified by a packet of apple butter. A mustard packet facing up means a pork chop. Face-down means country ham. A pat of butter is a T-bone, and its place on the plate determines how the steak cooked, from well done at the top to rare at the bottom.
   In 2008, one of the biggest Waffle House franchises in the southeast, North Lake Foods, was bought out by Waffle House, Inc. North Lake Foods filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closed some stores. Waffle House, Inc. plans to rehabilitate the franchise. In early 2009, East Coast Waffles bought North Lake Foods to become a new franchise.
  
  The founders of the Waffle House brand died in 2017 within two months of each other: Joe Rogers Sr. died on March 3 and Tom Forkner on April 26.

   To use a slow cooker, the cook places raw food and a liquid, such as stock, water, or wine, in the slow cooker. Some recipes call for pre-heated liquid. The cook puts the lid on the slow cooker and turns it on. Some cookers automatically switch from cooking to warming (maintaining the temperature at after a fixed time or after the internal temperature of the food, as determined by a probe, reaches a specified value.
   After opening a fourth restaurant in 1960, the company began franchising its restaurants and slowly grew to 27 stores by the late 1960s, before growth accelerated. The company is privately held and does not disclose annual sales figures, but says they serve 2% of the eggs used in the nation's food-service industry. The founders limit their involvement in management, and , Joe Rogers Jr. was CEO and retired late 2013, and Bert Thornton is President.
   Some suppliers also offer more sophisticated heating control using the radio teleswitch network. For example, Scottish Power 'Weathercall' and SSE's 'Total Heat Total Control' both dynamically vary the length of time storage heating is energised each night depending on the forecast temperature for the following day to help maintain a consistent household temperature.

  Waffle Houses have been the site of several shooting incidents. On April 22, 2018 in Nashville, Tennessee a partially-naked gunman armed with an AR-15 style rifle killed 4 people before he was disarmed by a patron and escaped. The shooter, 29 year old Travis Reinking, was captured after a day-long manhunt.
  
  Other shootings have taken place in Waffle House locations in New Albany, Indiana,Ohio, North Carolina and Mississippi in 2017, and in Florida, Louisiana and Missouri in 2018.
   Friends record minutes contemporaneously, with each minute written in the "meeting for worship for church affairs". At the end of each item, the clerk will present a draft minute, ask the meeting if they accept the minute, and the final minute will only be recorded when all Friends present feel that the minute is an accurate record of what has happened. When members of the meeting accept the minute, they will nod their heads or say "approve", or "hope so" in Britain (see Quaker terminology).

   BULLET::::- Belgian waffles are a North American waffle variety, based on a simplified version of the Brussels waffle. Recipes are typically baking soda leavened, though some are yeast-raised. They are distinguished from standard American waffles by their use of 1 ½" depth irons. Belgian waffles take their name from an oronym of the Bel-Gem brand, which was an authentic Brussels waffle vendor that helped popularize the thicker style at the 1964 New York World's Fair.
   BULLET::::- Flemish waffles, or Gaufres à la Flamande, are a specialty of northern France and portions of western Belgium. The original recipe, published in 1740 by Louis-Auguste de Bourbon in "Le Cuisinier Gascon", is as follows: Take "deux litrons" (1.7 liters or 7 cups) of flour and mix it in a bowl with salt and one ounce of brewer's yeast barm. Moisten it completely with warm milk. Then whisk fifteen egg whites and add that to the mixture, stirring continuously. Incorporate "un livre" (490 grams or 1.1 pounds) of fresh butter, and let the batter rise. Once the batter has risen, take your heated iron, made expressly for these waffles, and wrap some butter in a cloth and rub both sides of the iron with it. When the iron is completely heated, make your waffles, but do so gently for fear of burning them. Cooked, take them out, put them on a platter, and serve them with both sugar and orange blossom water on top.
   BULLET::::- He produces the part and attach its respective production kanban
  
  BULLET::::- Periodically a mover picks up the move kanbans in upstream stations and search for the respective parts, when found he exchanges production kanbans for move kanbans and move the parts to downstream stations
  
  Since the number of kanbans in the production system is set by managers as a constant number, the kanban procedure works as WIP controlling device, which for a given arrival rate, per Little's law, works as a lead time controlling device.
   Telechron motors are easily quieted and revived by carefully drilling 2 small holes that just punctures the surface, one on the large section, and one on the small section. A very light oil is injected, and then the small holes are carefully soldered shut. If a heavy oil is used, the clock may fail to keep accurate time until the motor becomes warm.

   In order to keep the example simple and direct, it focuses only on the central processes: Source, Make, and Deliver. This reflects the general practice of members who focus first of all on these three process scopes. Only in a second step do they apply Plan and Return to map all their supply chain processes.
  
  The description of the manufacturing company reads “Manufacturing company That Produces against a 15-day forecast”.
  
  The key word here is “forecast”.
  
  What is the SCOR scenario that resembles a production based on forecast? The answer is, M1 (Make build to stock).
   The MPS translates the customer demand (sales orders, PIR’s), into a build plan using planned orders in a true component scheduling environment. Using MPS helps avoid shortages, costly expediting, last minute scheduling, and inefficient allocation of resources. Working with MPS allows businesses to consolidate planned parts, produce master schedules and forecasts for any level of the Bill of Material (BOM) for any type of part.
  
  Section::::How an MPS works.
   Basic cookers, which have only high, medium, low, or keep warm settings, must be turned on and off manually. More advanced cookers have computerized timing devices that let a cook program the cooker to perform multiple operations (e.g., two hours high, followed by two hours low, followed by warm) and to delay the start of cooking.
   Waffle
  
  A waffle is a dish made from leavened batter or dough that is cooked between two plates that are patterned to give a characteristic size, shape, and surface impression. There are many variations based on the type of waffle iron and recipe used. Waffles are eaten throughout the world, particularly in Belgium, which has over a dozen regional varieties. Waffles may be made fresh or simply heated after having been commercially cooked and frozen.
