To season the cast iron plates of the EQUIPEX Waffle Baker GES and GED, follow these steps:
1. Before operating the waffle baker, remove all plastic film covering the unit to prevent any melted plastic from damaging external parts.
2. The waffle baker is shipped with an application of surfactant grease on the upper and lower grill plates. This grease needs to be removed before the seasoning process.
3. Wipe cooking oil or shortening onto the upper and lower waffle baker plates using a clean, lint-free cloth, or coat the plates with cooking oil spray.
4. Turn on the waffle baker using the integrated thermostat and ON/OFF switch(s), and set the thermostat(s) to 300-400°F. Allow the unit to reach the desired temperature (the orange indicator light will go out).
5. Let the waffle baker season for 10-15 minutes, and then allow it to cool. Some smoke may appear during this process, so using a higher flash point oil, such as grapeseed oil, can help prevent this.
6. Wipe off the excess oil using a clean, lint-free cloth.
7. Repeat the seasoning process at least one more time.
After following these steps, your waffle baker's cast iron plates will be properly seasoned and ready for use.
