I don't understand the purpose of inverting the waffle iron. That jsut
starts it cooking on top instead of the bottom, and risks slopping
batter all over.

Waffles are a funny thing. Everyone seems to like them and lots of
people have waffle irons. We have them about once a month, but I don't
personally know anyone who makes them.
