Step 5
Don't forget to clean and season your waffle iron after use. To clean, wipe gently with damp cloth until all residue is removes. Use a pastry brush if necessary to clean the grooves and crevices. Coat your pastry brush with olive oil and, then, lightly brush the iron; afterwards, wipe dry with a paper towel. Turn waffle iron on for one minute to heat the oil evenly over the device. Allow to cool completely before storing. Store with paper towel between the two sides of the waffle iron.
