Rome's #1100 Old Fashioned Waffle Iron, Cast Iron

Product Information

I’ve made waffles on at least a dozen different types of waffle makers, from modern Teflon-coated ones to antique aluminum models, and half a dozen different types of non-electric waffle makers (even campfire models). You can make delicious Belgian waffles at home using the NordicWare 1540 Stovetop Waffle Iron. The NordicWare 15040 is compact and easy to use, making it a great choice for those with small kitchens. Once you’ve poured in the batter, close the waffle maker and immediately flip it over onto the other side.

As many chefs would attest, most electrical waffle makers cannot achieve the crunchy edge, full texture, and fluffy center that a cast iron waffle maker can. Carefully separate the two halves of your iron, and use a fork to pop the waffle out. It should open easily if the waffle has finished cooking.All of the “Irons” above have two sides and sandwich the batter like a waffle iron. There are other specialty pans that make treats that need to be flipped, or where the treats are deep-fried (on or in the pan). Not only does this allow you to serve up delicious waffles, but it also increases your iron intake which promotes better heart health. It has a classic waffle maker design which produces traditional American-style waffles. Also it’s made from durable cast iron so it can last a lifetime. Each waffle needs a flip of the iron, so make sure you have a size you can handle easily. For example, a 7-inch iron weighs about 4 pounds. This product was designed with the unique feature “MESS-FREE, STRESS-FREE.” The contour texture the manufacturer has added to the machine will ensure that you are 100% satisfied. This contour prevents excess powder from escaping the machine. It is also very dirty and difficult to clean. The ideal cast iron waffle maker will be usable on multiple heat sources, such as open flames, campfires, stovetops, and induction cookers. However, it takes a special grade of cast iron to ensure compatibility with all heat sources. Not all cast iron cookware can be treated equally, and it takes an eye for quality to ensure good value for money. We advise exploring your cast iron waffle maker options out there to figure out their compatibility with all heat sources.

Special care is needed when cooking, cleaning, and maintaining cast iron waffle makers. It is what will affect the product’s durability. The most important aspect is seasoning. You should do it regularly and with the proper oil.
