Appalachian Cast Iron Waffle Iron

Yes, this waffle iron is compatible with most induction ranges, as well as gas, coil, and glass-top stoves. Because it relies on magnetic induction to heat the cast iron, ensure your specific induction burner is sized appropriately for the base of the iron.

Since this is a manual tool, you control the browning by monitoring the steam and timing. Once the steam stops escaping from the iron, it is generally a good indicator that the waffle is cooked through; a quick peek will confirm if you need another 30 seconds for a darker finish.

The iron arrives pre-seasoned with grapeseed oil and is ready to use right out of the box. However, like any cast iron cookware, building up the seasoning over time with regular use will only improve the non-stick properties.

No, the plates are permanently attached to the hinge mechanism. To clean, simply wipe the iron down while it is still warm with a damp cloth or brush, and avoid submerging it in water or using harsh detergents.

The iron features stay-cool spring handles designed to dissipate heat, allowing you to flip the unit safely by hand. We recommend using a kitchen towel or oven mitt for the first few uses until you are comfortable with the weight and balance of the iron.
