Product description

Old Fashioned Waffle Iron - Cast Iron

From the manufacturer

Rome Old Fashioned Waffle Iron

Dinner's over, dusk has passed, the moon has started its arc in silence. The family sits around the campfire. Stories are told. You've found the perfect log to sit on. Now the job is to find that balance between being chilled by the nighttime air & too hot from the fire. 'It must be midnight', you think excitedly, but it's probably only 8:30. Someone brings up the subject of dessert.

With a nod to the nostalgia of the past, Rome's waffle iron makes big waffles in the traditional round shape. The two sides of the iron connect using our famous hinge system for secure use and easy cleanup. This design works best on a 2-burner camp stove or gas stove.

Product Dimensions: 10 x 6.8 x 1 inches

Works fine on induction and price is right

Once seasoned, the pan works beautifully if you do not use the recipes that come with the pan. I tried the recipes that came with the pan and it was a disaster. The waffles stuck to the waffle iron or the batter dripped out. But when I tried recipes from SeriousEats.com, they came out perfectly every time and there was no mess from the pan.

To work on an induction cooktop, the pan must lie flat on the glass. A sleeve on the handles raises the pan too high. Turning the pan on a glasstop stove can be daunting. I tried several methods, but finally decided that using a wooden spatula to lift the handles up so I could grap them with an oven mitt worked best. Using a large flat spatula under the pan worked well too.

I had been looking for a manual waffle iron that works with induction and most do not. The price is right and I am quite happy with a 6" waffle. A larger pan would be a bit too heavy to handle.

I bought this because it's the only cast iron waffle iron on �鶹��.ca at the moment. Most other similar items are either part of an electric waffle maker or are made of cast aluminum (even though the other product titles incorrectly state that they are cast iron).

Plus:
Good price, I got mine for $28.
Cast iron.
It came unseasoned and covered in wax to prevent rust.
Seasoning was easy, paraffin came off easy. (heat up the unseasoned pan, melt the paraffin, drain off and then dry with paper towel. Then go outside to heat the bbq to 350, heat the iron, then use a basic canola cooking spray to lightly and evenly coat all surfaces. Dab off with paper towel, then put on the bbq for at least an hour. Take it off the heat, let cool to ambient, and then repeat 3-6 times).

Minus:
it is smaller than expected at only 6" in diameter. This is not so much of a problem, as a 6" waffle is a good size. However, the thickness of the waffle is not desirable. The waffle produced is about 0.8 cm to 1.0 cm thick, which for me is not what I was looking for. Cut them in half, fits in a toaster.
I tried two recipes: a old-fashioned malt recipe and a belgian waffle recipe. Both came out soft, not crispy. Belgian waffles are supposed to be crispy, and this waffle maker didn't have what it took to make it that way.
The handles are not well designed, so if you have a glass top, induction, or otherwise flat cooking surface, it will not rest well. Gas range or coil tungsten will be ok because of how it sits on the element.

Recommendation:
It's OK. Not great. Some redesign should happen so that the waffle bays are deeper, and the waffle squares are larger with more surface area. With a deeper design, the handles can then be made so that they aren't even with the bottom/top of the iron, so it's easy to grip when on a flat cooking surface. The deeper design will likely also improve the waffle texture and crispiness.
If you get these, you will definitely need the fireproof/steamproof gloves that are good for intermittent heat contact up to 500F at least.

VERY pleased with our purchase! Excellent, heavy cast iron waffle maker. Be sure to season it properly before using, and pre-heat before putting in batter and your waffles will never stick. We use ours on our propane stove and will try it over fire pit in the summer. I only wish the handles were a bit longer.

I know the reviews on this manual waffle iron are good, but the downside is it's weight & tedious use. I really would prefer an electric cast iron waffle maker. However, this is next to impossible to find on this side of the world. I would either need to find a vintage one that is expensive with an unknown lifespan; or order from overseas which would also be expensive. When I lived overseas, I bought an Italian electric cast-iron waffle iron which served me for many years.

Absolutely love it

I love the latest addition to my cast iron collection. I had given up on getting a cast iron waffle pan, because all I could find were non-stick and/or electric. I stay away from non-stick completely, so I had no way of making waffles. Despite the shipping and customs, I decided to splurge on this, because there were no other options.

The pan is so cute and well designed. Since it’s not huge in size, it’s kind of lightweight (I mean as lightweight as cast iron can get). It comes covered in a wax coating. What I did was wash it first in soap and warm water. Then I heated it on stove, with the plates on two different burners (since they are not welded together at the hinge you can take them apart). Upon heating, you will see wax melting and glistening. Then take the hot plates and put in sink and splash tap water. This will remove all the wax. Then wash again with soap.

How to season:
Pan plates back on burners. Heat again. Once it dries completely, spread oil thinly (don’t use too much oil) on the whole pan, inside and out including handles. Then let it heat on medium for 10 minutes or so. It will start smoking and changing colour into dark brown. This is oil polymerising and this is what makes cast iron non-stick naturally and protects from rust.
Then apply another layer of oil and let it smoke another 10 minutes. By now you will have turned the whole pan into a dark brown shade. Voila, you have now seasoned the pan successfully.

Let the pan come to room temperature. Wipe thoroughly with paper/cloth towel and store.

Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated while you season, because it is gonna fill up with smoke.

When you clean after making waffles, do not scour or use too much soap so that the seasoning stays intact.

My favourite item of cookware
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2019

I've owned this for a little over a year at the time of writing this review and have probably used it around once per month on average.

The short version of my review is that it makes great waffles which never stick, not even when the batter spills on the outside.

The long version is....long.

** Initial Cleaning & Seasoning **
I went through this procedure over a year ago, so I'll some of the details are a little hazy.
This item is delivered with a protective coating (paraffin wax?) to prevent rusting. Mine arrived without rust, so I only needed to remove the coating. If the coating were patchy, I guess I'd have needed to use wire wool or a wire brush for rust removal.
I washed the irons in very hot, soapy water to get the worst of the coating off. This didn't quite do the job, so I put them on the grill of my gas barbecue for about half an hour per side, then left them there to cool for a couple of hours.
I then washed them again and dried them as best I could with a tea towel. The waffle pattern makes this a fiddly job. I finished the drying with a few minutes over a high flame on the gas hob, to dry them quickly and minimise the chance of rusting.
To season, I rubbed rapeseed oil over all the surfaces with some kitchen roll, scrunching it to ensure that it got into all the recesses of the waffle pattern, then put the irons in a hot oven (over 200 C) for an hour or so. I switched the oven off, but left the irons in until cool enough to touch. I then repeated this procedure once more and that was it. This approach was influenced by an online article titled "Chemistry of Cast Iron Seasoning", though I didn't feel the need to apply the recommended six (!) coats of oil. Once seasoned, the irons change from a dull grey to a glossy black, with a hint of amber in certain lights.

** Use **
To use, I preheat both halves of the iron separately over a medium on the gas hob for about 5 minutes to ensure they're heated evenly and right through. I brush both halves lightly with melted butter before each waffle. I've not nailed cook time yet. A small difference in flame size seems to make a big difference in cook time, at least on my hob. For the first waffle, I cook for 90 sec per side, then have a quick peek. It's usually far too pale at this point, but at least it's never burnt. From there, I just cook for as long as necessary to achieve the dark golden brown colour I like. This can take anything from another 1 to 3 minutes. Once I'm settled into the routine, they usually take about 2 to 3 minutes per side. The cooked waffles are easily tipped out, without any prising, gouging or scraping. For the batter, I use a recipe I found online, apparently from Joy of Cooking.

** Cleaning **
I left the irons cool until I can handle them, then wash them in very hot soapy water, using the same brush I apply the butter with to work into the waffle pattern. This cleans the brush nicely too. I then dry with a tea towel and put them back over a high flame on the hob until they're smoking. When the smoke alarm goes off, I know they're dry :-) After that, I leave the to cool and simply put them away.

** Care and performance **
I've not had to re-season the irons and there's no sign of the waffles ever sticking. Even if I overfill the irons a little and batter seeps out the sides, it never sticks. The only other item of cookware we own with comparable non-stick properties is a JML Copper Stone pan (seasoned according to manufacturer's instructions) in which we can fry an egg without oil and it just slides out. This waffle iron is the only item of cast iron cookware I've ever used/owned/seasoned, but it's such a pleasure to use, it makes me hanker for a farmhouse kitchen with a range and racks of cast iron pans and skillets.

** Other points **
The handles are simply part of the iron, with no insulation, so they get really, really hot. You will need oven gloves, but unless you have unusual dexterity with standard mitts, get something with fingers, as it makes flipping and opening the irons much easier. I bought some Keiby Citom BBQ Grilling gloves (yes, with the Spiderman-style pattern) from �鶹�� and they're great for this job.
My only criticism of the waffle iron is that the castings are not very well finished in some places around the edges where the mould halves came together, especially around the handle. They're by no means sharp or dangerous and I don't even notice the "problem" in use, but I wish I had spotted it and ground/filed these areas before seasoning. If I ever have cause to re-season the irons, I'll be sure to do this. I've not deducted a star, because such finishing takes time which would push the cost up.

Notez qu'après avoir lavé le fer au savon, il reste encore passablement de cire d'usine. Il vaut mieux ensuite le faire sécher à haute température à l'extérieur pour éliminer le reste de cire car une forte fumée s'en dégage.
Il est assez petit: 17 cm de diamètre, mais cela me convient car plus grand, il serait aussi plus lourd.

This makes smaller sized waffles. Takes abit of practise to get the perfect waffles - the timing depends on your stove and how big a flame you use. It came with a thick layer of seasoning, which i burnt off on a pit post bbq. Don’t do it indoors though, it will stink up the home. Love this as an healthier alternative to the non stick waffle machines.
