Using
Seasoning the irons
Before being used for the first time, the waffle iron must be seasoned.
Use frying oil with no other ingredient for this seasoning process.
Good seasoning results in a chestnut-coloured surface (dark brown) which looks like varnish.
We recommend that you proceed as follows:
§ Plug in the waffle iron, open it and set the thermostat to 300°C.
§ Leave it to heat for about 30 minutes.
§ Then set the thermostat to 270°C and wait for about 5 minutes to allow the temperature to come
down. Leave the waffle iron at this temperature (270°C) throughout the operations described
below.
§ Using a brush, carefully apply a fine coat of frying oil to all the blocks and in the bottom of the
grooves. Do not leave any excess oil in the bottom of the grooves (if necessary use a dry brush to
ensure even application.)
§ Leave this first layer to cook through thoroughly for 10 minutes.
§ Then apply a second layer in the same way.
§ Wait another 10 minutes then turn off the waffle iron.
Equipment needed
We recommend the following accessories for successful waffle-making:
§ Krampouz waffle set ref. ASG2 consisting of a brush, waffle fork and metal brush
§ A little frying oil to grease the irons
§ A container for your batter
§ A ladle or jug
