How to Season The Cast Iron Stuffed Waffle Iron

Seasoning is simply the process of baking a thin layer of oil onto the cast iron surface. It helps prevent food from sticking by filling in tiny gaps in porous cast iron. It also protects the metal by providing a rust- resistant coating. Re-season before first use, after continued heavy use, when food begins to stick to the pan, or if your pans become dull, grey, or rusty.

Follow the steps below to season your Stuffed Waffle Iron:

Preheat the oven to 200 °F (93 °C).

Remove pans from oven. Using a thin-bristled basting brush and wearing heat resistant gloves, apply just enough oil to the waffle grid surfaces to give them a slight sheen. Applying too much oil will cause the pans to get sticky. Wipe off any excess oil with a dry lint-free cloth or paper towel.
