Neumarker Stroop Waffle Baking Plate for Professional Kitchens

A stroop waffle baking plate forms the signature grid pattern of the Dutch treat while sealing the caramel syrup inside each waffle. The two cast-iron plates close under pressure, pressing the batter into deep pockets that become the crisp outer shells. Heat from the plates cooks the batter evenly, allowing the syrup to melt and bind the two halves without leaking.

To use the plate, preheat it on a compatible hob or induction worktop until the surface reaches baking temperature. Brush the uncoated cast-iron grid lightly with oil to prevent sticking. Place a measured portion of batter on the lower plate, close the press, and apply steady pressure for the required baking time. Open the press, remove the finished waffle, and repeat the process. The steam from the hot drink below keeps the waffle warm and pliable while serving.

The baking surface measures 250 by 250 millimetres, giving a consistent square shape to each waffle. Uncoated cast iron retains and distributes heat evenly, eliminating cold spots that could leave the batter undercooked. The 9-kilogram weight of the plate provides stability during pressing and helps maintain a steady temperature throughout service.

Cleaning is straightforward: after use, allow the plate to cool, then wipe away any residue with a dry or lightly oiled cloth. Avoid soaking the cast iron or using abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the uncoated surface and affect future baking performance.
