From the manufacturer

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 are mixed about the size of the fry pan. Some mention that it is easy to use, takes up very little space, and isn't too heavy, bulky, or over-engineered.

144 customers mention69 positive75 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the saute fry pan. Some mention that it is easy enough to use, but with bigger handles or some other kind, it is well worth the little extra hassle. However, others say that it requires some getting used to, it requires diligence and patience, and it definitely takes some time.

79 customers mention32 positive47 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of cleaning the waffle iron. Some mention that they are able to clean them up pretty quickly, while others say that the wax grime coating is a real pain to clean off. The waffle Iron does need to be cured before use.

91 customers mention14 positive77 negative

Customers dislike the heat of the fry pan. They say that it gets very hot, and the high temperature causes lots of smoke. They also mention that the heat is uneven, and each iron needs to be heated. They mention that using one pan can lose its warmth. Customers also say that the waffle irons would start smoking as they baked them in the oven, and one side burnt. They describe the paraffin as smelling like crayons when it's melted, and it'll be difficult to melt the wax off.

"...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

72 customers mention16 positive56 negative

Customers dislike the coating of the fry pan. They mention it's covered in wax that needs to be removed, but without it and seasoning, the iron would be rusty. There is still a noticeable waxy residue on the surface of the iron, and it'd be a pain to remove.

"...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...." Read more

"...No good. There was still a ton of wax left over. So then I tried boiling them, as recommended by one of the Amazon reviews I read...." Read more

"...The reviews for all the waffle irons have issues, either the surface is a PFOA coating, or it's ceramic and it flakes after a short time, or the..." 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.
