HAWOK Cast Iron Square Waffle Iron Waffle Maker…

We have a glass top stove so we use our little countertop hotplate to make waffles with these irons. It helps to be able to grab the handles which were difficult to grasp off the flat stove top. We seasoned these well in a hot oven before the first use. Now we heat them up, pour in about 1/3 cup of batter, flip them so the cooler side is on the heat, wait 2 mins, flip for 2 more minutes and finish with a minute on each side. The waffles are perfectly cooked and don't stick. If you have issues with sticking add more oil to the waffle maker.

I've never cooked waffles before in my life, but was able to nail it the first time (I do cook a lot and was relatively confident). There was no wax coating that I could notice. Washed with warm water and dish soap, then seasoned it according to manufacturer's instructions (175°C - 370F for 1 hour inside the oven) using sunflower oil, except I placed both faces facing up instead of down so the oil remained instead of dripping off. Then heated the iron on the induction cooktop (power level 6-7 out of 9), each half on a different heating element. Used Martha's Stewart easy waffles recipe (simply because it was the first or second that popped up on google), added a little buter with the silicone brush, poured some batter onto one half and covered with the other, 2 minutes on each side, and that's it. You can see the result on the second picture. This batter didn't rise to fill the whole waffle iron (maybe it was too thin/liquid), so the result was kind of a 1 sided waffle, but I'm sure the recipe can be tweaked to make it rise all the way. The first picture shows the scale of the iron on the stove, and some cassava waffles made with dough instead of batter, also great, fluffy and crispy. The waffles take a little prying with a fork to lift and remove them, but they didn's stick to the iron, each one came out perfectly clean.Now, making waffles is a slow and patience defying process. This is not for making breakfast for a large party in a hurry due to the iron not being very large and each waffle taking about 4 to 5 minutes to cook. If you need to cook a lot of waffles quickly, buy two or 3 irons, or maybe get a larger electric waffle maker.A final note on a very important feature: The large handles make it really easy to use it. It comes with two cotton holders to prevent burning your hands, but the handles barely got warm and I could use them without the holders without a problem.

Thinner than expected. Will take a bit of time to master but practice makes perfect and eating the evidence of mistakes can be fun. :)

Used a lot of ghee but the food got stuck in the grooves! Maybe it’s because I used oat flour and no eggs???
