Casselin Classic Waffle Maker with 180° Plate Rotation

A classic waffle maker that rotates its plates 180° to spread batter evenly and bake both sides without flipping by hand. The heating element beneath the cast iron plates warms the metal, which transfers heat directly into the batter. This contact method gives crisp edges and a soft centre, while the rotation ensures uniform thickness and colour across every waffle.

To operate, the unit is switched on and the thermostat set between 60 °C and 300 °C. A heating indicator light shows when the plates reach the chosen temperature. Batter is poured onto the lower plate, the top plate is closed, and the entire assembly rotated 180° to distribute the batter evenly. The timer is started, and the waffle bakes until the signal sounds. The plates are then opened, and the waffle removed. Excess fat collects in a removable pan beneath the plates.

The frame is constructed from stainless steel, while the plates are cast iron for even heat retention. An on/off switch controls power, the adjustable thermostat sets the temperature, and the timer determines baking duration. The heating indicator light confirms when the plates are ready for use.

The 1.8 kW power rating requires a dedicated 230 V circuit capable of handling the load without tripping. The temperature range from 60 °C to 300 °C allows baking waffles, grilling sandwiches, or searing small items. The 18.45 kg weight means the unit is moved with a trolley or two people, while the 386 × 580 × 305 mm footprint fits on a standard worktop or shelf.

Cleaning involves wiping the cast iron plates with a dry cloth after each use to preserve seasoning, while the fat collecting pan is emptied and washed separately. The stainless steel frame can be wiped down with a damp cloth. The 180° rotation mechanism should be checked periodically for smooth operation.

The CG180S is a single model with no variants. It is categorised under professional waffle makers in the Casselin catalogue.
