Description

Make delectable, crispy-edged, round waffles on any stove or grill and crown them with butter and syrup or fruit. Personally designed by Galen Lehman in response to customer inquiries, this waffle maker is made with a double rim that effectively ends dripping - no other iron waffle maker has it! Plus, cast iron lasts longer, heats more evenly and holds the heat better than cast aluminum.

Note: While this product comes with a soybean oil seasoning, we recommend seasoning it at home for the best use.

Details

"So many customers asked us for a good cast iron waffle iron. I knew I had to come up with something.

"I started by looking at all the antique iron waffle makers I could find. I soon identified a two key things that made the antique ones work well. It's about the thickness of the iron. (Nothing cooks better than cast iron!) And, it's about trying to prevent the mess of batter overflows.

"I worked on it for over a year, until I felt I had it just right. Then, I made sure we used a foundry that could make it in a pre-seasoned version. Now you can own a real iron waffle maker, without paying for an expensive antique!"

For a Simpler Life! Galen Lehman

How to Care for Your Waffle Maker:

Cleaning:

  1. Wash by hand with warm water and a little bit of soap. For extra stuck-on messes, heat water to a simmer and use a pan scraper after waffle iron has cooled.
  2. Dry thoroughly. We recommend a paper towel or lint-free cloth. (See black residue? No worries! Some residue from the seasoning is normal.)
  3. Finally, rub a very thin layer of oil (see list below) to both the inside and outside of your waffle maker and use a paper towel to wipe the excess off the surface until no oil residue remains. Note: Using too much oil can cause the cookware to be sticky.

Seasoning:

While this product comes with a soybean oil seasoning, we recommend seasoning it at home for the best use. "Seasoning" is the process of baking an oil into your cast iron, so it forms a strong layer that makes the surface more resistant to rust and helps keep food from sticking naturally.

  1. When your waffle maker starts to lose its nonstick properties over time (from using high acidity ingredients or excess use of abrasives), make sure you clean and apply oil to your waffle maker (follow Cleaning Steps 1-3 above) before baking.
  2. Place the disassembled waffle maker upside down on the top layer of the oven, place a baking sheet or aluminum foil on the bottom rack. Bake in the oven for 1 hour at the smoke point of the oil (between 400-500°F).
  3. Allow to cool in the oven before removing. This process can be repeated to achieve a better easy-release surface!
