Waffle Irons
If grids have not been pre-treated, season before
using the first time. Brush unsalted fat on grids. Heat
until grids begin to smoke. Bake a waffle to absorb
excess fat and discard it. Waffle iron is ready to use.
After baking waffles, brush grids with a soft
plastic brush or wipe gently with a paper towel while
still warm to remove crumbs. Do NOT wash the grids or put
any water on them. The seasoned grids darken and prevent
sticking. However, if grids without a non-stick finish
begin to stick, or are stained by foods other than waffle
batter being spilled on them, wash grids with warm suds,
rinse, wipe dry, and reseason with unsalted fat.
