5.0 out of 5 stars Best Waffles I've had in a long time...
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I held off buying the "Lehman cast iron waffle maker" for a while because it had a few negative reviews concerning its construction and ability to cook good waffles. After searching and searching for something better in the same price range, I came up empty handed and decided to take a chance on it. Too bad I wasn't also buying a lottery ticket that day.It arrived, securely held in its sturdy packaging, and looked beautiful when I pulled it out.We have a glass topped/induction stove which they recommend against, but it's what we have and we (very carefully) cook on it with cast iron all the time.Following the instructions I gently washed it, made up my batter, took the two halves apart, spritzed them with vegetable oil and set them both on separate burners to heat them up at the same time. When I thought the heat might be right (3 - it wasn't... too cool), I poured in the batter, let the recommended time go by and... it was a disaster (of course, the first waffle always is, right? :-p)Fortunately, in the next attempt they came out perfectly, here's what I did, after cleaning out all the mess: (times are approximate, and likely the actual time was 5-8 seconds longer than what I wrote given the time to move things around etc. - this whole cooking thing is more of an art than science of course, and everyone's environment is different. Practicing a few times will hopefully yield similar amazing results though)I took it apart, spritzed the insides with a healthy amount of oil, then spread that all around with a brush, and heated up each side on a separate burner set to 5 (out of 10/Hi).When they started gently smoking, I turned the burners down to 4, poured the batter into one and capped it with the other. (actually on our induction stovetop, when the cookware is removed the burner automatically turns off after a few seconds, so I didn't really do anything with that burner anymore, it went off)Cooked for about a minute on the one side.Flipped the contraption and bumped the heat back up to 5 (to reheat the top side which had been cooling for the past minute), brought back down to 4 after about 30 seconds (or a bit longer), cooked for the rest of the minute (another 30 or so seconds).At that point, it was a matter of intuition, Holy Spirit leading, or crystal gazing, whichever one suits you better, to figure out when to pull it off, just don't do it for too long. I also would try and gently pry to see if it came easily or not, and was kind of watching how much steam was still coming out, the effusion of which had diminished quite a bit by the time the golden awesomeness inside was ready to be offered up on a plate!Although I gave 5 stars for "easy to clean," NO waffle iron is easy to clean if you've baked stuff on - so it's no different from any other waffle iron if you messed things up in the process. But used properly, it was completely spotless when my waffles came out, what you would expect from any good cast iron product.
5.0 out of 5 stars Shocked how well my waffles turned out the first time I used this maker!
I don't take many photos of items, and I should have when making these today. I was worried that it would be hard, maddening, messy etc and it wasn't at all! I followed someones's recipe I found, her name was Laura. Great recipe and I followed the directions for the maker just at they were noted. The waffle maker came seasoned, so all i needed to do was wash it and dry it. I did use Bakers Joy to spray the waffle maker with before pouring batter. This stuff sprays out and is messy, so I suggest taking the pieces apart and spray in the sink. I did this each time before I poured another waffle and with a fork, when done, they came right out, no issues whats so ever. Super easy to clean...didn't have anything to get out other than the oil, so i used a mild detergent with a soft brush and washed it well. Dried it on the stove and then seasoned it with coconut oil before storing. This is what I do with all my cast iron skillets and they don't rust. The ONLY thing that is funky about this item is: The connection of the two pieces. They are a little tricky to pull apart. I did heat up both sides separately on burners before using it. Once i felt they were ready, I took each piece with mitts on and held it in the sink and sprayed it with Bakers Joy. Sat it down on burner, sprayed the other side and then connected the together. Then, i slightly lifted the top to pour in some batter...filling just enough before the edges. I put the lid down and set timer for 2 minutes. Well, it took a lot longer then 2 minutes. Just keep checking and then flip, using mitts and holding both ends of waffle maker. I flipped back and forth a few times actually because I like waffles golden and a bit crunchy. The bottom part is what cooks, obviously, but that's why I kept flipping every 3-5 minutes. I got the hang of it real quick and my husband said they were really tasty. This will last a lifetime and is a healthier option than cooking with those non-stick brands....which aren't always non-stick and tend to overflow. I didn't have any spillage, and was surprised with this as well. I decided to make an extra batch and keep in fridge, then toast when ready to eat. Not an easy thing to make for guests, as it's a slow, one waffle at a time kind of process, so making them in advance and toasting quickly should work, i hope. Good luck everyone! Easy to use, just a tad heavy but read other peoples ideas on how to to make and handle this item and you'll have a great experience.
1.0 out of 5 stars Worst idea ever
I looked up reviews and instructions and followed them religiously. This is a terrible product for people that are not survivalists. It is heavy so it is crazy to think that you will be able to flip it easily. Please do not believe folks who say they do so because it is all up to how big or strong you are. I am a regular size woman who exercises. I found it super hard to use, particularly considering this will be hot when you are trying to flip it. I also tried to cook them to avoid sticking but I did that 4 times, all failed to prevent sticking. Dough stuck the 4 times, what a waste of food and money. Guess what? I put it out for people to take for free...it was there for 3 days hahaha. I guess people would not take it even if gifted for free. I should have known better. I am writing this only to prevent others from buying it and not being able to use it. Note...I am not saying it does not work for all people. maybe people who camp, or who live in rural areas and/or who are strong enough to flip it with one hand without burning can use it. I will never ever buy something similar. all my pans are cast iron...so ...
Perfect!
