The waffle iron replaced our 22 years old and more than good! I really recommend for the first time a "burn-in" in flip closed, of about 20 minutes at the lowest level. These should first be very thinly brushed with beaten oil both iron. So disappear last production residues and the non-stick coating lasts much longer. The only shortcoming is the lack of waffle recipes that there were 22 years ago by Tefal free. Fortunately, we have the still and the waffles taste even better with the new waffle iron.
