Stalgast cast-iron waffle maker for professional kitchens

A waffle maker heats two patterned plates that press batter into crisp, evenly browned waffles. The plates are cast iron, which holds heat steadily and spreads it across the surface without hot spots. When the batter is poured in, the heat transfers quickly, cooking the outside while the steam trapped inside keeps the centre light. The pattern on the plates creates the characteristic grid that gives waffles their shape and extra surface for browning and crunch.

The operator plugs the unit into a 230 V circuit, sets the temperature knob between 50 °C and 300 °C, and switches the appliance on. The indicator light shows the set temperature has been reached. Batter is poured onto the lower plate, the lid is closed, and the timer is started for up to five minutes. The heat-resistant handle allows the lid to be lifted safely once the timer signals the end of the cycle. The waffle is removed, and the process repeats for the next batch.

The body is constructed of cast iron plates mounted in a metal frame. The temperature knob, work switch and indicator light are positioned on the front panel. A heat-resistant handle is fitted to the lid for safe operation.

The 1.5 kW power rating means the appliance draws a steady load from a dedicated 230 V circuit, suitable for a professional kitchen supply. The adjustable temperature range from 50 °C to 300 °C allows the operator to set the exact level needed for different batters, from thin and crisp to thick and soft. The timer up to five minutes gives precise control over cooking time, preventing over-browning or under-cooking.

The cast iron plates require seasoning before first use and regular cleaning after each service. After cooling, the plates are wiped with a damp cloth to remove batter residue, then lightly oiled to maintain the non-stick surface. The heat-resistant handle is wiped down with a damp cloth and dried to prevent heat damage.
