Waffle Iron Sticking...HELP

I have a Vitantonio Premier Classic Waffler 1800 that I'm borrowing and the waffels are sticking. I tried cleaning it with cooking oil. How can I restore it so the waffles won't stick for the next batch? It seems to have a non-stick surface but I'm afraid to wash it with warm water. Furthermore the grids are not detachable from the iron. Need info ASAP.

I have had the same Vitantonio Model 1800 waffle maker for several years, and I've never had a sticking problem. My solution is a combination of the two above. I spray the grids with cooking spray before the first batch, but I don't need it after that because my preferred batter, which is from the Fannie Farmer Cookbook, has a lot of butter in it:

BUTTERMILK WAFFLES

2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup melted butter (cooled)
1⅓ tablespoons sugar
⅓ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1⅓ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup flour
¼ cup milk (if needed)

1. Beat eggs in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended.

2. Add buttermilk and mix well

3. Add melted butter and mix well.

4. Add sugar and salt and mix well.

5. Add baking soda and baking powder and mix until just blended in.

6. Add flour and mix until just smooth; do not over beat.

7. If batter seems rather thick, add a little milk to thin it.

8. Bake in hot waffle iron until crisp and golden (I use the highest setting on the Vitantonio 1800 and wait until the green light comes on before removing).

9. Serve with warm maple syrup and berries, if desired.

 I have a non-stick waffle iron and I still spray both sides with Pam before I pour batter on the iron.

Cleaning your waffle iron WPLT4

c.gif c.gif





Let me start by telling you WHAT NOT TO DO.
  1. Never clean a waffle maker while it's still hot. Let it cool completely.

  2. Never dunk your entire waffle maker in water.

  3. Never use scouring pads, steel wool or abrasive cleansers.

  4. Never use a knife or pointed object to clean your waffle maker(I've actually seen that advised on less reputable sites).

When it comes to cleaning a waffle maker, your first source of information should always be the owner's manual. There are many different kinds of waffle makers, so your buddy Mr Breakfast will gladly defer his expertise to the company that makes your waffle maker.





What I can speak about is my own favorite waffle iron. It's a modern electric waffle iron with non-stick and non-removable baking plates. That's the same kind you have? Oh good. It looks like you came to the right guy.

Cleaning the baking plates:
  1. Remove any small puddles of oil with a dry paper towel.

  2. Brush away any crumbs with a soft-bristled kitchen brush or old toothbrush.

  3. Remove any batter stuck to the iron with a rubber spatula.

  4. To remove really-stuck-on batter, douse the baked-on batter with cooking oil. Wait 5 minutes for the batter to soften. Dab the batter off with a paper towel or cloth.

  5. To prevent staining and long-term oil build up, wipe down the baking plates with a damp cloth or paper towel.

  6. Make sure the waffle iron is completely dry before storing.

To clean the exterior, wipe down the housing and handle with a damp cloth.


Keeping it clean:

There are a couple things to remember to make sure our kind of waffle maker stays clean.

  1. Unless stated otherwise in the manufacturer's instructions, you should never coat the baking plates of a non-stick waffle iron with cooking spray. Over time that will give you a gummy build up that will turn your waffle maker to junk. Today, when a waffle maker makes the claim that it's non-stick, they really mean it. The only oil you need is the oil in the recipe. If your waffles are sticking, it's your batter that needs more oil, not your waffle maker.

  2. Unless stated otherwise in the manufacturer's instructions, don't use soap to clean your baking plates. Soap can be the enemy of a non-stick surface. Oil - on the other hand - can be a great friend. It creates a thin layer that helps maintain the non-stick surface. Soap will completely obliterate that layer of friendly oil. Harsh soaps can deteriorate the manufacturer's non-stick surface over time.

How to clean the stove top waffler & keep waffles from sticking?

Best wasy to keep waffles from sticking is to spray the maker with a non stick food spray like "PAM". The other way is to increase the amount of oil in the batter, but that can affect the finished look.

Waffles are separating when we open the plates

In my experience this is due to sticking on the plates. I spray a little cooking spray on them with each batch I make.
Maybe they arn't quite done.
