    Depends on iron really. Where I live, we have those that actually press the dough, not just enclose it, hence the name IRON.

      hence the name IRON.

      I’m pretty sure waffle irons and clothes irons (and branding irons, and soldering irons) are called “irons” because they were historically just specially-shaped chunks of cast iron.
