Many years ago, on the first snow of winter my Mom would make waffles, bacon, and eggs for breakfast with a waffle iron very much like that one.

They aren’t that hard to find it you want to keep that up

The last time my area had snowfall was Christmas of ‘89

Fun Fact: Sears and Kmart still has a combined total of 21 locations still open! (13 for Full-line Sears Stores; 8 with Kmart).

Yea there are plenty of service centers and hometown locations but there are barely any Full-line Sears/Kmarts left. It sucks that corporate incompetence killed the company.

How do you clean the waffle iron plates? I have a similar waffle maker and am having trouble with cooked on oil.

This one, they pop out

The plates pop out on mine as well. It’s just that there’s a lot of cooked on oil that won’t come off with hot, soapy water.

The cooked on oil is the same thing as seasoning on a cast iron pan, so it's fine.

But if you 100% want it gone .. Oven cleaner will take polymerized oil off metal.

Thanks! I use a cast iron pan regularly but the waffle iron plates aren’t behaving like a seasoned pan. Maybe the issue isn’t cooked on oil? The last time I made waffles with this waffle iron, the batter stuck horribly to the waffle iron plates and the waffle split in half as I opened the waffle iron.

You can feel it. If it is sticky it is partially polymerized and probably should be taken off with oven cleaner.

I treat my waffle iron like a cast iron pan and reseason it every once in a while when it loses it's nonstickyness.

Then perhaps it’s not cooked on oil that’s the problem. I’ve used this waffle iron for years without issue. This year, the waffles stuck to both sides of the waffle plates, splitting the waffles in half when I opened the waffle iron.
