How to Season a Sunbeam CG Waffle Iron

The Sunbeam CG waffle iron was made in the 1950s

In the mid-1950s, the Sunbeam Company manufactured the "CG" waffle iron, which features two cooking grids that can be removed from the waffle iron for easier cleaning. The CG waffle iron also offers a temperature controller and 1250-watt heating element that cooks waffles faster and an illuminated dial to indicate when the waffles are done. Prior to using the Sunbeam CG waffle iron, the iron should be seasoned for proper cooking and to prevent uneven baking.
