Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Everyone I told about this waffle iron thought I was going to be dealing with a stuck on disgusting mess to clean up after trying it. Well those people just haven't yet discovered how amazing and naturally non-stick cast iron really is when cared for properly. Nowadays everyone seems to think non-stick cookware is the way to go but the chemicals in non-stick cookware is not something I want my family ingesting so I use cast iron for everything! I took the time to properly season this iron as soon as it arrived and the next morning I began making waffles. I would like to say it is a bit of a science to get just the right balance of both proper recipe and time on each side to properly cook a waffle on this but here is what is working perfectly for me so it takes the guess work away from you... I have an electric stove (unfortunately) but what I found best for making the perfect waffles on this iron was to turn on two burners at the same time and set each of them on medium high heat (#7 on my particular stove that is numbered 1-9). I took apart the waffle iron and placed each side on its own burner so they could both be heating at the same time. I found this to be very important otherwise one side of the iron will cool too much and make for an unevenly cooked waffle. Once both sides of the iron were heated I brushed them lightly with real butter and then poured the batter into one side of the iron (I found that just slightly less than a 1 cup measure is the perfect amount without spilling over). After that I connected the the second piece on top of the piece with the batter in it and once connected immediately flipped it over and started a timer for 2 minutes. It's important to flip as soon as you connect the two sides. After two minutes flip again and set another 2 minute timer. This, for me anyway, created an absolutely perfect waffle. Here is the recipe I have found works great after trying a couple of different ones: [...] I hope you decide to give this waffle iron a try. In my opinion it really is so unnecessary to purchase anything different as this little iron works great, is priced cheap and takes up very little space for storage. I wouldn't buy anything else!
