Good product. Just need to learn to handle it

I love this waffle maker! I wholeheartedly recommend it and here’s why:• it makes delicious waffles that are just the right size—not too big, not too small—which means they are fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside (mmmmm!)• it’s cast iron so there’s no toxic coating to disturb your breakfast, plus it adds iron to your diet• it’s smaller than an electric waffle maker & thus conserves storage space• there are no moving parts to wear out so I hope you like it because you’ll have it for the rest of your life• it’s a great valueThat said, there IS a learning curve to making waffles with this pan. You must follow the procedures precisely or you’ll get furious with your purchase and want to cast it aside (pun intended). If you wish to be victorious, you’ll need the following:• a good waffle—not pancake—recipe• a preheated pan• adequate oiling• medium-low heat• 2 minutes of cooking on each sideIt’s really not hard. It just takes some practice. Below is my own secret recipe, which I’ve developed just for this pan. I hope you enjoy.LAUGHING LAURA’S WILDLY WONDERFUL WAFFLESIngredients:1 cup all-purpose flour3/4 cup almond flour1/2 teaspoon fine grain Himalayan salt1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1 Tablespoon sugar3 eggs7 Tablespoons vegetable oil + more for oiling pan1 1/2 cups buttermilk1 teaspoon vanilla extractDirections:Combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, salt, cinnamon & sugar in a bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients & add eggs. Beat lightly with a fork. Add oil, buttermilk and vanilla extract & stir until just moistened (some lumps are fine).Preheat the pan for at least 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Brush generously with vegetable oil. Pour 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the pan & close the lid. Flip it over to the other side so batter sinks into all the crevices. The pan is heavy so use both hands for flipping. It’ll be hot! Wear oven mitts! Cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes then flip it and cook another 2 minutes. Don’t estimate the time! Use a timer (trust me). If you’ve oiled sufficiently, the waffle will come right out with a fork. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy the world’s best waffle! I recommend fresh strawberries and real whipped cream.It’s a good idea to brush a little more oil on between each waffle but you be the judge of how greasy you want your waffles to be.Not necessary but helpful notes: This recipe makes 4 1/2 waffles with this waffler maker, which is perfect for two hungry people and maybe a hungry dog or a not-that-hungry pig, although I think they are too good to share with my pig. The almond flour is the key to exquisite fluffiness so don’t substitute with all-purpose flour. And buttermilk kicks ass. It gives your waffles the right sweet-sour balance. If you don’t have any on hand, you can make it by adding a little vinegar to regular milk. Of course, if you’re vegan you can replace the eggs with flax and the buttermilk with a nut or soy milk. It will take some practice to get your heat exactly the way you want it—especially on a gas stove—but don’t lose hope! You can do it! Triumphant waffles are awaiting you!

I am a cast iron addict, and this waffle maker is awesome! Heavy, and breaks down easily to clean. Arrived as expected and well packaged. The waffle maker is heavy, but so worth the money. This will last forever with proper care. You can use it on a wood burning stove and not need electricity, or a campfire. This is an awesome purchase. Grandkids love waffles!
