Rome Old Fashioned Waffle Iron

Dinner's over, dusk has passed, the moon has started its arc in silence. The family sits around the campfire. Stories are told. You've found the perfect log to sit on. Now the job is to find that balance between being chilled by the nighttime air & too hot from the fire. 'It must be midnight', you think excitedly, but it's probably only 8:30. Someone brings up the subject of dessert.

With a nod to the nostalgia of the past, Rome's waffle iron makes big waffles in the traditional round shape. The two sides of the iron connect using our famous hinge system for secure use and easy cleanup. This design works best on a 2-burner camp stove or gas stove.

Product Dimensions: 10 x 6.8 x 1 inches

Customers like the quality of the waffle iron. They say it makes the best waffles, and it's a good waffle maker that will last years. Some customers also mention that the waffels are excellent and highly refined. Overall, customers are satisfied with the quality and durability of the product.

"...These Rome Waffle Irons are so well made they ship with a lovely small folio type tag that is tied with twine that has recipes inside and gives..." Read more

"...That may have spoiled me.While the overall quality is pretty good, I really, really came to appreciate the fact that Lodge ships its..." Read more

"...Pro: low cost, lasts forever with a minimum amount of care. Can take it camping." Read more

"...So they work fine. Nevertheless, the fact that we had to grind the two pieces to make them fit is really unacceptable...." Read more

59 customers mention53 positive6 negative

Customers like the taste of the saute fry pan. They say the resulting waffles have a crisp, full flavored exterior. They also say the texture and flavor is better than the electric stuff. Some mention the crust is really crisp, but the middle is still tender. They can make soft waffle or crunchy skin and soft inside waffle. The seasoning has also gotten better over uses and is truly non stick.

"...waffle makers, but it is rewarding getting those perfect, delicious waffles that you carefully and skillfully made...." Read more

"...I've made in this (after the first few that burned on one side) have been tasty...." Read more

"...I think it would make really crispy and evenly-done bacon, with no curling at the ends. Well, except for when the waffle shape makes it curl...." Read more

"...LOVE this waffle iron as it makes the most wonderful light, crispy waffles and it is fun to use...." Read more

164 customers mention60 positive104 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the saute fry pan. Some mention that it is easy to use and takes up very little space, making it the perfect size for one person. However, others say that the size may seem small, yet it takes as much batter (1/2 cup) to make a waffle. The handle is small and the connection of the two pieces can be a bit tight.

"...Con: Small, you'd take forever to cook for a family. Maybe own two of these for a 4 burner stove?..." Read more

"...The design takes up little room and isn't too heavy, bulky, or over-engineered...." Read more

"I received a waffle iron where the two pieces did not fit...." Read more

"...The handles seemed small at first, but they weren't dangerous or difficult to handle while cooking...." Read more

120 customers mention64 positive56 negative

Customers are mixed about the stickiness of the saute fry pan. Some mention that there is no sticking once you season the cast iron, while others say that it still sticks really bad.

"...All the pancakes came out without sticking. And they are delicious...." Read more

"...However, it wasn't completely cooked and stuck. However, after some trial and error, I found that 375°-400° is the sweet spot...." Read more

"...the irons once at the beginning of the first waffle and they did not stick to the pan when not spraying each subsequent waffle...." Read more

"...the pans for the first waffle, then didn't for the second, and they stuck a bit. So I buttered between each waffle thereafter...." Read more

117 customers mention54 positive63 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the saute fry pan. Some mention that it is easy enough to use, with good instructions on how to remove paraffin, and season it. They find the theory of the method simple, and the method of seasoning worked great. However, others say that it takes some getting used to and requires diligence and patience.

"...either the surface is a PFOA coating, or it's ceramic and it flakes after a short time, or the plates are not removable so you can't wash them...." Read more

"...If you are interested in making your own charcoal it is very easy...." Read more

"...Now, the bad. Don't worry, there's not much. This thing is a pain to season...." Read more

"...So easy and we splurge with the butter. It recommends 2-7 TBS butter. We go for 6-7. Yup. Delish.*..." Read more

85 customers mention44 positive41 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the saute fry pan. Some mention that it's a very good product for the price, and worth the little extra hassle. However, others say that it was a total waste of money and not worth the mess and time.

"...and easy as some of the electric waffle makers, but it is rewarding getting those perfect, delicious waffles that you carefully and skillfully made...." Read more

"...first time we used this it was nothing but trouble, hassle, and wasted time.It's shipped with a wax and removing that was not simple...." Read more

"...Pro: low cost, lasts forever with a minimum amount of care. Can take it camping." Read more

"...The teeth do not align with Rome products. Totally useless to me. Wish Rome would sell scrapers. Would have purchased them, too." Read more

79 customers mention32 positive47 negative

Customers are mixed about the cleanability of the saute fry pan. Some mention it's easy to clean, while others say it'll get messy. Some say it can be difficult to remove the paraffin wax coating. Overall, opinions are mixed and depend on personal preferences.

"...If too much oil is left on it, it will become sticky and hard to scrub off. Thinner is better when it comes to seasoning...." Read more

"...And they are delicious.Cleanup was minimal, rinse, dry, put back on the stove for a quick heat to remove the last of the water...." Read more

"...The electric waffle maker was so hard to clean because the batter would drip into all the little crevices in front and behind it and we couldn't..." Read more

"...Even after our first time using it, it required virtually NO clean up. We just let it cool, and then brushed it out...." Read more

96 customers mention17 positive79 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the heat of the saute fry pan. They mention that high temperature causes lots of smoke, the short handles get very hot, and the heat is uneven on the waffle iron. They also say that each iron needs to be heated and that using one pan can lose its warmth. Some customers also mention that the waffel iron slightly smoked for 30 minutes while it was in the oven and that one side burnt.

"...Also, wear oven mitts or welders gloves, as the short handles get very hot. Then pour in your batter, and cook on the first side for 3 minutes...." Read more

"...It smoked things up pretty bad...." Read more

"...Maybe own two of these for a 4 burner stove? You need to keep both sides hot as you peel out the cooked waffle, so I kept putting the "top" back on..." Read more

"...First at a low temp, then raised it because I'm impatient. High temp caused lots of smoke - do not recommend. Probably medium heat it best...." Read more

This Thing Makes Beautiful Waffles
This is a perfectly fine waffle iron. Anyone experiencing rusting hasn't properly seasoned their iron, which is crucial for both protecting it and cooking with it. Also, many are confusing the protective wax with stuck on batter, but that's simply false. The wax does need to be removed, but without it and seasoning, the iron would be rusty. Many of the bad reviews are simply user error. Don't be put off by them. There's a learning curve to cast iron cookware, but it's a rewarding hobby. I'll leave my impression of this waffle iron and all the steps I used to get it ready and cooking with it.I had a used nonstick belgian waffle maker that lost its coating, so any attempt to make waffles would just stick. However, I wanted something I could keep forever without worrying about a nonstick coating failure. They're convenient, but they're expensive and such a waste. And vintage cast iron waffle makers are nice, but they're so expensive. There's very few brand new cast iron waffle makers you can buy now, but Rome is one of the few. The design takes up little room and isn't too heavy, bulky, or over-engineered. This allows it to remain an affordable option, that and being made in China probably helps cut down on costs too. I'd love a new American made piece, but there just aren't many options. However, I've been very pleased with this waffle iron overall.The iron arrived with a coating of wax, which was quite thick in some areas. Scrubbing it would've been a pain, so I put them in a 500° oven till it stopped smoking. There was a lot of smoke, so be warned. I had to run my air, a fan, air filter, and open the window to help clear it out. Eventually, I was left with bare iron. Next, it needed to be seasoned, as it wasn't seasoned from the factory like Lodge cast iron is.To season, I did this process 4 times. On the outside, I poured a small amount of canola oil and spread it in all the nooks and crannies with a paper towel. Then, I used a fresh paper towel to wipe it all off. This may seem counterintuitive, but you will be left with a very thin coating of oil on the outside. When it's heated enough, it will polymerize and become a layer of seasoning. If too much oil is left on it, it will become sticky and hard to scrub off. Thinner is better when it comes to seasoning. The inside would be so hard to do with paper towels, so I found that using a pastry brush with a very light amount of oil does the job. Use the pastry brush to spead it everywhere on the inside, leaving only a thin layer. Your do not want any oil pooling in the waffle part, so be conservative in how much is used. After there's a thin layer all over, place it in a 400° oven for an hour, then turn it off and let it cool in the oven. Repeat this process 3-4 times to build up a good base coating.After it is properly seasoned, you can begin cooking! My first attempt didn't go over so well. I cooked them for 3 minutes, per the included instructions, and used a boxed waffle mix. However, it wasn't completely cooked and stuck. However, after some trial and error, I found that 375°-400° is the sweet spot. Preheat each side on a burner to that temp range, then use a pastry brush to lightly oil the inside. Also, wear oven mitts or welders gloves, as the short handles get very hot. Then pour in your batter, and cook on the first side for 3 minutes. After that, flip it over and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes, or maybe longer if needed. After this, you should have perfect waffles that releases beautifully. I used a butter knife to get it to come out, but it was completely effortless and fell out once I got it started. The more you cook with it, the better your seasoning will be on the inside.To find the temp of the irons, I'd strongly recommend getting an infrared thermometer. You get instant feedback on the temperature, and I use it a lot when cooking with my other cast iron skillets. It's especially helpful with cooking eggs. Once you have this, you can find the right settings on your range to get in the cooking temp-zone. I found that 3 was the perfect setting for my burners, but yours may vary. After figuring everything out, it's really not too bad making waffles. They aren't super thick, but they are still good sized waffles, in my opinion. Also, my batter didn't call for an egg, but I added it to hopefully give it more structure when cooked.You also might not need to clean it after every use, but if there is some waffle stuck to it, some hot water and a stiff brush will do the trick. Also, don't be afraid to use soap; it will not destroy your seasoning. After it's washed, wipe it off and place it on a burner for a few minutes to let the rest of the water evaporate. Don't let it air dry, as sitting water can and will rust your iron.This may not be as fast and easy as some of the electric waffle makers, but it is rewarding getting those perfect, delicious waffles that you carefully and skillfully made. Plus, if well taken care of, this can be something that is passed down through the generations. This is also a great alternative if you want less chemical-non-stick cookware. Overall, I'm very happy with my new waffle iron and can't wait to start cooking with it some more, especially when I go camping! This fits in well with the rest of my cast iron cookware. I'd highly recommend this to anyone, whether you're new to cast iron or someone more experienced.
